BFA Acting Class of 2023: preparation, prescreens, auditions, questions and support

So awesome @OrangeFish! There are several actors who attend UNCSA in the class of 2022 and they LOVE the school so if her cohort is happy, so will she be! I think my D’s happy but stressed friend was in lighting design.

So wonderful to hear @CaMom13 ! D was telling me about how the programs come together each year to do Nutcracker for their arts intensive – sounds like an amazing totally-hands-on opportunity! D is very excited!

My S had his CalArts audition yesterday and really enjoyed it. They worked with his monologues and did an exercise with him and said they were very excited about him. I’m sure they tell a lot of people that. He was given “the card” at the end of his audition by Andrea Leblanc.

@collegeadmiss Those are all VERY good signs! My S is at CalArts-BFA 1. Andrea is the Co-Head of the department and was my S studio director last semester. I would encourage your S to do a short follow -up email if he is really interested in the program! Feel to message me if you have any questions.

@frontrowmama I suggested the same thing to him last night. I’m glad you agree! The program sounds great.

@AUDITIONMGR We don’t have a room yet! They will tell us upon arrival on Wednesday and we will send it out via GetAcceptd.

@2019wolves The BFA Acting program is at Unifieds; Music Theatre only auditions on campus.

I hope this helps!

@All4FSU Thanks for the update that helps and we we look for the update this evening on GetAcceptd.

We will look for the update

Have to say didn’t love the cattle call feeling of unifieds. Thank goodness for a couple of on campus auditions that felt good and an acceptance at Baldwin Wallace. D felt all except a couple were very perfunctory. Enjoyed the city and our time together.

@morgan830 Same here (NYC Unifieds). Thankful we only had two as part of Unifieds and only one of them was in a really crowded space and just in and out, not a good experience (rejection expected).

Has anyone gotten a decision from Fordham yet? I know the admission decision “window” has just opened but still hoping some are starting to hear something.

@AustinMomof4 No word from Fordham yet. Heard from Rutgers yesterday (a no) - auditioned late Jan.

NYDreammom We just got back from Chicago Unifieds. Quite an experience. My D had her Rutger audition there and we should know something by 2/18. Mine just finished this crazy process with CMU, U of Michigan, Juilliard, and BU. I think she is a bit relieved and also excited at the possibilities at the same time. Does your D have any more auditions?

@AustinMomof4 Congrats on being done! It is a relief. No, we just finished with CalArts last weekend, on to the waiting now. It seems folks heard from Fordham last year around the beginning of March. So far we have two Nos (Rutgers and Juilliard), two yes (The New School and AMDA), and academic acceptances at Montclair and LIU Brooklyn. All reaches left so I told my D since TNS is at the top of her list we will be ok with end results if everyone else is a no. Fingers crossed for your D!

So jealous for those that are all done with auditions! My D hasn’t started yet. She has 13 auditions in the span of 4 days starting this Friday 2/8 at LA Regionals/Unifieds! Can’t wait!

@love2share You’ll be done in no time too, BAL to your D!

@NYDreammom Thank you so much!

BAL to your D @love2share - we were in your shoes last year with all my D’s auditions in LA … only we had far fewer of them. Just allow time to get between LAX and any satellite areas. Pace was downtown last year and NYU was in Long Beach! The weekend will fly.

Thanks so much @CaMom13 ! Pace is downtown again; we go on Friday. And this year, NYU is in Pasadena, so that’s her last audition on Monday. Did your D have any regrets having all her auditions in LA last year?
