I am an incoming freshman at Kent State majoring in Theatre Performance, I auditioned for the MT program, but didn’t get in. I have been thinking a lot lately about what I want to do in life and I really want to teach Voice Lessons, but more of an emphasis on Musical Theatre Voice. I am just really confused right now on the options I have or what degree to go into, or whether I am going to stay at Kent if there is a better program to get into or not. I just really need advice from people who have been through this. Where did you go? What did you major in? What else are you doing? etc.
You might want to ask this question in the Musical Theatre Major thread.
And…you don’t need to have it all figured out right now. Your confusion and concerns are very, very normal. You are going to a good school with an MT program. Why not just start college with the goal of doing voice lessons once you are settled in. You can work with the MT dept to find voice lessons. Teachers there may become mentors.
I have an audition to take vocal lessons in August. I’m possibly reauditioning for Musical Theatre later this year.
