<p>Hello!</p>

<p>So I am about to be a senior in college, and I am already researching graduate schools. I want to attend a graduate program in acting, particularly film/television acting. Are there any good programs that you would recommend? This is open to professionals, amateurs, future actors like me, etc. I want lots of answers and opinions, please!</p>

<p>Also, I live in Texas, but I want to go somewhere either in the West or up North for a change.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Hey Cocobean. I am in about the same situation. The issue with going to grad school is that the intention is usually for someone that wants to go for stage/Broadway. Dont get me wrong there are gats schools like USC, UCLA,Cal Arts, Rutgers, that teach film acting but not usually til the thrid/last year of grad.</p>

<p>Also, grad is open to everyone but it is hard and competitive to get into. As long as you have you vachelors degree.</p>

<p>I’ve said many times on here that I believe the best screen actors are stage trained and still stand by it, but you need to be a “theatre first” person to survive in an intensive theatre training program. Really, it’s theatre, theatre THEATRE 24/7. You might be better off training in the LA studios for that as long as you’ve already acquired a good basic acting technique wherever you are. You’d really be better off asking around on Backstage.com for info on that. Just sayin’ … </p>

<p>Here’s a link to a list I actually grabbed from there a couple of years ago … <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/theater-drama-majors/950803-non-scholastic-training-la-nyc.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/theater-drama-majors/950803-non-scholastic-training-la-nyc.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
