Hi!!!
I'm in my second year of university in New Brunswick, Canada but I absolutely hate it. I went here because I got a full scholarship to study Psychology and then I switched to English but my heart is always with performance theatre (mostly musicals). I have no dance training as I couldn't afford it when I was a child, no vocal lessons (I mostly taught myself, my mom would tell me if it sucked and made me start over, and I had a teacher in elementary and middle school who took time out of her evenings to listen to me sing and teach me a few things, but not a lot), and all of my experience comes from high school theatre productions where I played some leads. Where I come from there wasn't a lot of amazing singers or anything so I made it far there, but now I want to learn more and work towards my passion.
I need help on what the best schools would be in Canada that I could apply to. I may wait the next two years and then go (even though I want to go right this second) but I still need to know what I'm preparing myself for. (I've been thinking about Randolph a lot but again I don't know what the best options are)
Do you think I need to be already quite skilled to make it into a program in Canada? I'm good but I'm not the best. I don't have the strongest voice and I'm a shy person but it's what I want to do so I'm willing to work hard.
Any advice would be appreciated!! Thank you :)
