<p>Here's my story. I started doing theater in middle school and continued it throughout highschool. After I graduated I went to the Buffalo and majored in MT for a year. After a year I decided to leave. Not because I didn't want to do theater any more but because I didn't like the school. Anyways I went home and have gone to community college for a year and a half now. I have done local shows since then but I haven't had much practice besides that.</p>
<p>Anyways I really want to get back into a college MT program. I realize it's probably to late to consider auditioning for fall semesters but I'm hoping by next year I can audition for schools or perhaps audition for spring semesters for schools that do them.</p>
<p>Any way do you have any suggetions for a guy who has been out of practice for a little while to get back into the swing of things quickly? </p>
<p>(Note, I got into my MT program the first time W/O proper vocal training).</p>
<p>My suggestion would be to spend the next year getting some experience and training, and apply to schools for the fall semester of '10. You could audition for community or regional theaters, college productions, or summer stock. Dance, voice, and acting lessons should be a part of your training. Most important, try to find a coach who is familiar with the college audition process, and who can help you prepare the right material. If you did it all by yourself the first time, you must be very talented! The right kind of training and experience will only make you a stronger candidate for a good MT program.</p>
<p>Thanks. The main reason why I didn't have much vocal training was because there is really no voice instructors around where I live. But I will actively look for one this time around.</p>
<p>since you would be applying as a transfer student (and these admissions deadlines and decisions are often later at some schools) it may not be too late to apply for fall '09 if that is of interest to you. However, you would want to spend the next few weeks doing a lot of research on programs and finding out (via the school website) which programs accept transfer students, whether or not transfer students are required to complete four years in the program regardless of prior training, and the application and audition deadlines for transfer students. You will fins that the policy at each school is slightly different.</p>
