<p>Mom- I believe many other students were sorted through for the Pace audition and they narrowed down their subject candidate pool sharply- haven’t heard of many callbacks. Your son shouldn’t be too discouraged or play the “coulda, woulda, shoulda” game. It’s hard- I’ve seen students who take rejection in stride and those who panic (and parents just the same!). It’s interesting to me, because I grew up primarily training for opera and moved into MT when I started to teach, and rejection for voice is difficult but it’s so much more of a science…I give these kids a lot of credit for their willingness to show their honest selves through acting with the potential of being told “YOU don’t work for us.” I send him (and all of you going through this) the confidence to press on with the material he’s already worked so hard to prepare and encourage him to not let the naysayers bring his spirit down!</p>
<p>All best to everyone during the remainder the audition season and for the “waiting game.” :)</p>
