<p>I'm all for going to the big top choice schools.<br>
But in the professional world, does it make a difference in the audition room? Where it really counts?</p>
<p>When it comes to the audition room, what really matters is your audition. I don’t think anyone cares where you got your training, but only what the end product is. There are many programs besides the “big top choice schools” that have amazing training programs. The trick is finding programs that provide good training, are a good fit, and are affordable. We also know plenty of successful actors who did not attend any college programs, or who started a program and then quit well before graduation.</p>
