Is your teen looking to study musical theater or acting at the college level? This podcast is a MUST as it dives deep into the questions (you didn’t know you should be asking) with the faculty at so many incredible programs. It also talks to so many amazing artists who have already gone through school and are working professionally in the biz.
Ok, back to schools. We all know school websites can only provide so much info (some hardly any at all), so how do you know which schools might be a good... more
MTCA has made all the difference in our college audition season (grade 12) and preseason (grade 11). It has given us great insight into schools and helped my student create her college list and feel more knowledgeable before heading into the audition. It’s been a serious game changer!
I started listening to this a couple of years ago when my kid started expressing serious interest in pursuing musical theatre as a career. The college deep dive episodes are one of my main sources for information on BFA/BMus MT programs, and I don’t think there’s anywhere else I can hear the insights that Charlie deftly elicits from faculty. This is a must-listen for MT artists and their families supporting them on this career path. Thank you, MTCA!
This podcast has been incredibly helpful to me and my son as we begin getting our heads around the MT audition and college selection process. We are so thankful for it!
This is one of the most helpful podcasts I’ve ever listened to! So grateful to Charlie, MTCA, and all the college representatives and MT professionals who come on and give so much insight and advice. It is truly such a gift! Thank you!!
