I’m going into college audition season, and I’m the only one in my school going through this process. Anyone want to bless me with some advice?
@wmsmith1 - many of the folks on this forum have been in your shoes. We have TONS of advice. Please take the time to go through the appropriate threads pinned to the top of the Musical Theater Major page. There are YEARS of experience shared there. Digest as much as you can and then see what your specific questions are. Tell us more about what parts of the process have you already completed. Do you have your audition pieces chosen? List of schools to apply to? Applications completed? Prescreen videos? Letters of recommendation from teachers? Hopefully, you have a voice teacher/coach who has experience with this particular process - it is like NO other. Your applications should be completed and submitted VERY soon - your application timeline bears ZERO resemblance to the rest of the seniors in your class. If you can afford it and haven’t already done so, you might consider hiring one of the nationally recognized coaches mentioned here. They can help you navigate what your school counselor most likely has no clue regarding what you are in for. Tell us more about where you’re at, and the good folks on this forum can help you figure out next steps.
We went through auditions coming from an academic-only school and survived but it is difficult to navigate without support. Let this board know what you have done already and your timeline for what else you have planned - we can help! Wishing you the best of luck.
