<p>I’m not thinking that - I think you have great choices if the auditions don’t work out. Great job!</p>
<p>I wish my D had had more coaching - she had a wonderful mentor, but her mentor, while very respectable in theatre experience admittedly did not have experience in college theatre admissions. I think that would have helped my D a lot. You’re already ahead of her in thinking about all of these things. I hope you can find someone where you live who can guide you through this process and give you solid feedback on your monologues.</p>
<p>I wish my D had enjoyed the audition process more, but that was hard to control. For a long time she was really looking forward to it, and then got some major jitters around January that she couldn’t shake (which also very likely could have been helped by a more savvy coach). We tried to find a coach, but had a hard time in our area, and D decided too early to give up searching, unfortunately.</p>
<p>On the other hand, she didn’t want to give up all of her usual life activities, and she had good enough results, so maybe the trade-off was OK, although the stress she went through was pretty intense.</p>
