<p>Sorry for the double post, I accidentally posted elsewhere instead of starting a new thread. So here is the correct post. =]</p>
<p>I have to compliment this bulletin board on the wonderful community you all have. I was in the same position that you all are in back in 1992 and only wish that there was a community such as this when I was auditioning. </p>
<p>Currently, I am preparing for a project in which I will be interviewing numerous Theater/Musical Theater School Department Heads (colleges and conservatories) as well as working professionals in New York such as actors, casting directors, musical directors, agents, choreographers, etc. </p>
<p>After reading many of the posts on this bulletin board, I'm extremely impressed with the professionalism and dedication shown here and you all might have some ideas for appropriate questions.</p>
<p>As I prepare my interview questions for this project, I thought you all might have some input or specific items that you did not get to ask or would like to but did not want to for fear that it might affect your chances. Are there specifics that would have been helpful during this process had you had direct access to the people I will be interviewing.</p>
<p>What I'm really getting at is, if you have the opportunity to anonymously ask any question or questions of the Theater or Musical Theater Department Heads, those that you'd be auditioning for, what types of questions would you like answered? Are there things that you were afraid to ask them directly for fear that it might play some role on you getting in so you held off on asking?</p>
<p>On the same note, what types of questions would you be interested in asking of working professionals in New York City? To be more specific, I will be interviewing Broadway casting directors, commercial/theatrical agents and managers, working actors (Broadway, Voiceover, Commercial, and TV/Soap Opera) some of whom are seasoned and some who are struggling to get by while still pursuing their dreams and art. </p>
<p>Again because you would be anonymous this would open up the freedom for you to ask pretty much anything while still keeping a professional demeanor of course.</p>
<p>I would very much enjoy hearing your thoughts and questions.</p>
<p>I look forward to hearing them. Feel free to post them here or e-mail me privately if you prefer not to post them.</p>
