Performing Arts College Questions…?

good thing you are starting early because i didn’t

1. yes, i go to emerson college and it is fantastic. the classes are in actual tv studios which we have two of and we have our own theatre. it is one of teh best schools around and everyone accepts each other because we are all so different there. they have all kinds of activities top join in on and they are strictly the arts so we have internships in los angeles. you can work with actual people in the industry.

2.i have no idea about oregon sorry.

3. there are scholarships available at emerson and many more if you go to scholarships.com and put in what you are looking for. they send you emails when they find one that matches what you need.

4. you can leran to micromanage. if you plan on doing activities after school, try and get your homework and studying done before then so that you can just go home after that and do whatever you want instead of staying up late and doing it.

5.Fitchburg state is a good school to go to. it is oinly about 10,000 dollars a year i believe but is known for its arts program. they have thier own theatre and put ion plays every semkester. anyone can join in.

6. i believe that if you have a passion for acting, go for it. you can have jobs from being a major actor to working on commercial, just get yourself a good agent and you will go far.

7. you should know that it may be hard at timeas, but it is so much fun. at mky school i have only had one class i didnt like and i have been tehre for 3 years. it will be lots of fun. good luck

8.just believe in yourself and try as hard as you can. you will be able to achieve your dream if you believe in yourself. choose a school because you love it not because it is cheap or it is close to home. do what you love.

wow! that’s a lot of questions!

for starters, i disagree with your parents, that it is never too soon to consider college. however, i must advise you not to get too attached to a particular school.

it is commendable that you want to do well in school with being so heavily involved…i did it, and got into my first choice school (it’s just a state-school though.)

as for the community service stuff, that usually will present itself around the holidays…just keep an eye out for it. i did bell-ringing for the salvation army, and a bunch of stuff for band.

now, to answer the other questions…

1. – i know nothing about emerson…sorry. but check out their website and send for information from them.

2. – i know even less about performing art schools in oregon…again, sorry, but send for information.

3. – depending on the school that you go to, there may be scholarships available in the theatre department…when you apply, you should look into that…even if it is years down the road.

4. – keep a planner with all activities that you have going on, and remember, no matter what other things you’ve got on your plate, your first priority has to be as a student.

5. – again, i know very little about performing arts schools in the states, but try asking your guidance counselor and sending for information.

6. – i have many opinions on this one. for starters, if it’s something that you are passionate about, then i encourage you to pursue your passion. however, you have to keep in mind the job market out there. while i’m not sure what exactly you are planning to do for the rest of your life, i would say, if nothing else, either minor in the theatre or double major with something that definitely has good job potential.

7. – performing arts schools themselves, i’ve heard, are very competitive. a good friend of mine auditioned for a theatre program and was denied because they were only taking 4 new freshmen females into it. so it can be very brutal.

8. – i know it sounds cliche’, but follow your heart. if you can get a major and then a job doing something you love, then it will be time and money well-spent. especially considering the average american adult will change careers at least 7 times in their life. scary, isn’t it? so do what you love to do, but also, have a backup plan.

hope all this helps! and feel free to IM/Email w/any other questions!

Prodigies do not have got to be skilled, regardless that commonly they’re. You possibly one. 🙂 I have no idea precisely what locations like Juilliard are watching for. I do recognize that folks that get in there more commonly are prodigies. My recommendation to you might be to get as so much guide as you’ll. Get a truly performing train for personal courses and/or take performing guides. Practice up to you’ll at house furthermore to doing productions. Practice little tiny main points like facial features and voice inflection plenty. Those are the varieties of matters that separate you from the leisure–procedure. That’s more commonly, actually, the most important change among Juilliard-degree and without problems well acting arts-institution degree. The degree of procedure. And additionally the extent of deep-down expertise, which simplest comes with satisfactory guide and particularly excessive train. And, of direction, skillability. You customarily already do that however I continually attempt to inform folks to uncover anybody who you simply suppose is real potent. Or a couple of anybody. Use that man or woman as suggestion and aspire to that!
