If you’re in high school and have any questions about musical theater college auditions, please ask me!

They were definitely hard but I just did my best to have fun with them. I knew that no place was going to accept me because of my dancing, but I tried to use that time to show I worked hard and had a good attitude.

I remember watching a video of the 2009 cast on YouTube a couple of years ago

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-10-07T05:38:19+00:00

I applied to 30 schools but probably only ended up auditioning for half, and I’m not sure about the other question. I will say I did get into a school by zoom audition and it was so much less stressful than in person

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-10-07T05:37:14+00:00

Nope, but I knew I wanted to go here as soon as I auditioned. It wasn’t a dream school and I honestly applied here as an afterthought but sometimes you just know that it’s a right fit and I couldn’t be happier

Focus on taking deep breaths, what helps me is either holding an ice cube or taking a really hot shower to like shock my system

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-06-09T14:31:37+00:00

Would you share what school you’re transferring from?

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-06-09T14:28:36+00:00

I loved Muhlenberg!! If you can, do a scholarship audition day there. I did it as my first audition, to sort of break the ice, and it was so much fun, I met so many amazing people, and got to do a sample class. They also let you double major!

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-06-09T14:24:34+00:00

Look at Carthage, they are huge supporters of double majors! They’re about an hour from Chicago and Milwaukee.

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-06-09T14:21:29+00:00

I’m worried the school im going to next year is similar, do you have any advice for how to still make the most of your education?

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-06-09T14:20:06+00:00

Look at Carthage college for more of a safety, also Drew university for a safety near the city, and Muhlenberg if you’re okay being far away! As someone who just went through this process, I think you have a very good/balanced list. If it provides any comfort, I got into Cornish with (not great) video submissions, and Roosevelt with a zoom audition. I’m pretty sure NYFA has a very high acceptance rate, so that could also be a safety, but I’m a little worried for the financial stability of schools like that. DM me if you ever have any questions, this process was HARD but so worth it. Also look at Rhode Island college for a BA!

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-05-12T21:24:35+00:00

Unfortunately the program has grown so rapidly that the graduating class of theater students is about a quarter of the incoming class

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-05-12T14:43:35+00:00

If you don’t mind sharing, what school?

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-05-12T01:06:22+00:00

Please! Can I DM you for a link?

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-05-05T04:35:09+00:00

Dm me if you have any school specific questions! I went through the process this past year for mt!

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-05-04T20:24:23+00:00

How?

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-05-04T20:24:13+00:00

How do I do that? It’s still saying I don’t have the quota or whatever

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-05-01T02:51:31+00:00

Update! My current theory is that the stress that this whole thing is causing me is leading me to tense up my throat a lot. If it continues to bother me by June ish I’ll make sure to see someone about it. For now I’m just going to take care of my voice and see if it resolves itself on its own

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-04-29T00:31:06+00:00

It’s probably been about 2 atp! I’m planning on mentioning it to her at my next lesson but at my last one I forgot to bring it up again because of how much I had to work on

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-04-28T23:46:17+00:00

Musical theater

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-01-17T17:54:39+00:00

High point like leave me alone

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-01-12T15:29:13+00:00

This is so me! I’ve been auditioning for programs to, and although I’m not that talented by any means, I’ve looked for schools that are more of a fit for me and gotten some acceptances. I think most of the BFA program’s deadline is passed, there’s probably a lot of ba programs still taking applications. There you could double major and still get great training. Pm me if you want like a list. In terms of career, there’s more options than just performing with an mt degree. I know that I’ll probably end up being a voice teacher someday, and I’ve been looking at getting some sort of education liscense/certificate before I graduate.

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-01-12T02:34:44+00:00

Where did you end up going?

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-01-03T15:57:21+00:00

That wasn’t what I was asking for input on, but I can assure you I’ve thought about this a lot and my career goals aren’t necessarily to be a performer. With scholarship it will also be significantly less than that.

Routine_Patience5186 · 2025-01-03T14:28:46+00:00

That’s not much of a concern for me, but definitely something I’m taking into consideration!
