Forgive me if this is not the right board to post this. I am a senior in high school, and about a year ago, I discovered my passion for musical theatre, and decided I wanted to pursue that as a career. However, I don’t have as much experience as my peers who also want to pursue musical theatre; I know one girl a year younger than me who already has a vocal coach and conservatory picked out and everything, and I also see younger and younger people on Broadway stages as the years go on. Me? I’ve only ever been in school productions (community theatres in my area are kind of far away, and I don’t have time to drive there and back, or a car for that matter), I don’t have the money to afford a vocal coach, and I’m studying theatre at a regular university since I don’t believe I quite have the chops to pass a conservatory audition yet. I mean, I could always take vocal/dance/acting classes and transfer to a conservatory later on, but would that be viable? Do I *have* to go to a conservatory? If I do by transferring, will it be too late to audition once I graduate? Will I be too old at that point? I don’t want to have to give up my dream just because I pursued it too late. The stage is the one place where I can let loose and be free, and I don’t ever want to give that up.
