<p>Can anyone tell me about the Strasberg classes I'll be taking? Is it just like Strasberg technique, singing, and dance? Or are the acting classes more concentrated? When I was there this summer I took an acting for film class...will I get stuff like that?</p>
<p>Little Mermaid, I don't know from personal experience but from what I've heard: acting, and sense memory (which are two separate classes...I've actually heard complaints that they're not very integrated with each other), also a singing/vocal production class with a great teacher who I also have at my studio who will improve your voice a lot if you trust and do the work. I think you also have an audition/cold reading class with visiting professionals. and once a semester or something you sing a song in front of your year (i guess as part of your singing class). i would assume you also have movement and possibly other classes but I just havent heard about them.</p>
<p>You could try checking the website, I'm sure they have info.</p>
<p>I had a question..I am currently a freshman in college and I want to transfer to NYU/Tisch for musical theatre..here is my problem..I have a 3.2 college GPA and a 24 on my ACT should I even audtion because my stats are not NYU worthy??? Any suggestions? My spring semester will be much better grade wise.</p>
<p>I'm currently a freshmen at DePaul Uni. looking to transfer to NYU next year for PHTS for directing. I would love some advice for transfers to NYU, anything would be great. I have a 4.0 right now. I am a little worried about the teacher recommendations. The Theatre School here has cuts, although I am not currently concerned with being cut, I feel as though asking my professors for rec. letters would be looked down upon. Anywho, I'm just looking for advice about getting accepted as a transfer. Thank you!</p>
<p>I am a transfer student. I have my audition tomorrow in Santa Monica, but as I'm reading this, I see that many freshman have already been accepted. When considering how many students to accept vs. yield, how are transfers factored into this number? Is there a set number of ED acceptances PLUS a set number of RD acceptances?</p>
<p>adriennevy - remember that even though that NYU Tisch has posted quite a few ED acceptances, the overall program itself is much larger than most. Granted Tisch will also see what is likely the largest pool of drama applicants, but rest assured that there are plenty of spots left. </p>
<p>I believe I have read on this forum that Tisch accepts anywhere from 30 - 45% ED depending on the studio. This would more or less jibe with for example CAP21's numbers this year where about 25 students have been accepted sofar and the freshman class typically consists of around 65.</p>
<p>Thank you MTgrlsmom, I feel much better now, especially since I think I did really well at my audition! =]</p>
<p>I was wondering for the students who have already auditioned, did you end up doing both of your monologues and both of your songs? I have everything prepared and I know they tell you to prepare two of each but at a few of my auditions they only had me do one and asked for another if needed. Is this same case for NYU or do they have a little more time to spend with you because there is no dance audition?</p>
<p>My S auditioned this week. He did both monologues and both songs and there was one auditor in the room who interviewed him afterwards.</p>
<p>My D auditioned for NYU yesterday and she did both of her songs and both of her monologues. She, too, performed for one adjudicator/auditioner, who interviewed her afterwards. I want to commend NYU on how smooth and friendly the whole process was. The three teachers who were the auditors/adjudicators (not sure which is the accepted term!) were all very nice and welcoming and gave you the feeling that they really wanted the kids to do well. They also seemed willing to spend a little time with each kid.</p>
<p>SeeImSmiling- I auditioned yesterday and I did all of my audition material, and the same person auditioning you does your interview. They spend adequate time with you to really get a grasp of who you are and what you want out of the school. Just make sure you study up on the studios and bring a cd player to play your music! Good luck!</p>
<p>In New York, they provided the CD/cassette player.</p>
<p>NMR - I am glad to hear that you found Tisch's audition process smooth & friendly. </p>
<p>I know much has been said about "why on earth a CD player vs live accompanist?!" in other discussions, and not much attention has been given to the actual effort the Tisch auditioner makes to get to know those that are auditioning. I know my D was very impressed with this. </p>
<p>Keeping fingers crossed for your D :)!</p>
<p>I know there are a lot of experts on these threads, I just wanted to let anyone know that I'm also here to help if I can.
My son is a freshman at NYU in CAP21 in case anyone would like to ask me any questions. We live in Colorado.</p>
<p>Hello all-
I am currently a junior in high school and TISCH is my #1 choice for so many reasons.. Although, yesterday I was speaking to a friend who began to "attempt" to try to talk me out of wanting to go there... He told me they primarily accept based on academic records at Tisch and that a "not-so" talented student from his class was accepted to tisch but had a 4.0... Maybe he just had a out of this world audition, but the whole thing is just confusing me...</p>
<p>See #6 at this link that describes why your friend said what he said. <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/nyu-tisch-mt/477785-transfer-auditions-anndd-question.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/nyu-tisch-mt/477785-transfer-auditions-anndd-question.html</a></p>
<p>NYQ12, I wouldn't believe everything you hear, especially one person's assessment of another person's talent. Programs know what they are looking for and it is sometimes surprising to those of us on the outside of a program to understand what that is.: ) It is worth noting, however, that NYU/Tisch's School of Drama <em>does</em> consider academics strongly when they assess a person for admission. NYU made it clear at the info session we attended that they want performers who also are scholars and who care about academics. They want kids who can handle the work in the studio and in the classroom. Another program like this is Univ. of Michigan, which has students submit scores and transcripts and then invites those who are academically impressive enough to audition.</p>
<p>NYQ12, I got my Saturday in the Square invite and am facing that same decision now. I know some kids who are at cap21 now who I am frankly surprised that they were accepted for MT although they are extremely bright students (one even had no other MT options at all except for NYU). On the other hand, I know some very talented students who are a part of Cap21. I think because the class is so large, they have that ability to take those intellectual students who aren't at a necessarily high performing level and still have many talented kids too. I know that many of their MT classes are leveled which is why NYU is still on my list. I truly feel you can only grow if surrounded by people better than you. I would never want to be the better one in a program, but instead be a person who can learn from those more talented and experienced than myself. I would not have wasted the money and time applying if I didn't feel that it was a good program. Don't let what your friend said change your decision to apply.</p>
<p>This very possibly is the wrong place to post this question, and if there is a better place, I hope someone will direct me. My daughter has been accepted to Tisch for fall 2008, and like everyone else is eagerly awaiting her studio assignment. Going to Tisch has been her dream for years and she is ecstatic. Being a practical sort of person, however, she is thinking ahead (can you believe it?) and is wondering if she decides to do a double major in Arts and Science, with the idea that she may end up teaching someday, will a BFA from Tisch provide the right background/credits necessary to go for an advanced degree outside of fine arts? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but would welcome your thoughts on this. Has anyone had experience with this? Many thanks!</p>
<p>Someone at my D's audition info session did ask about double majoring in the CAS and I think it is possible, if difficult. As to whether that double major would result in the appropriate credits to go on for, say, a Master's in education, well, I don't know, but I bet it would, especially with the double major. Maybe the Tisch art rep can answer, or you guys can simply call the school. Congrats on your D's acceptance.</p>
