amda '06 hopeful as for help

i know there are tons of amda threads on here and i have been through a ton of them but i m 19 going on 20 and i am currently training for amd to go fall 06 if accepted and i wa swondering if anyone who had auditoned and got accerpted recently could give me some advice on auditions(i never auditioned for a major school for musical theatre ) and if they like or dislike the school !! i have always had dreams of going here my whole life but coming form a poor urban family with a mother who just recovered from a lifetime of serious medical conditions(i went to 9 high schools in 5 states in 4 yrs)it was never and option for me to get good consistant training and my grades suffered greatly so for me getting into a amda would be liek a dream come true

Ih...I would put a wisecrack on your puncuation, but I'll be sympathetic.


AMDA is one of the many musical theatre schools out there. If you'd like to check out some more schools, check out the BFA College Thread.

Not only does your acceptance rely on your talent, but unfortunately for you, the way that you are prepared. But, if you show that you're willing to work hard to make up for lost time and show that you have potential and something to offer, then it makes you stand out as an individual. It's not saying that you'll get in, because it's so extremely competitive, I can't put it into words, but you can walk out of that audition knowing you did your best.

Musical theatre is a very blunt field, in my opinion, especially when you're starting out. If someone sees the potential to train you, then they might see the potential in you that you might have a future in this career. If not, you can either A) Accept that fact and go into another field or B) deny the fact and continue to go out for auditions, hoping that your talent will nab the attention of some agent or casting director.

Hoped that helped and best of luck.

keep your dreams alive. Go out and audition, have fun. You seem like you've been through a lot. Use your past experiences in your acting and it can only make you both a stronger performer and a stronger person.

why don't you try "Dear Friend' from SHE LOVES ME.. you can act that out and sing the crap out of it. It's rather high.

hey- iluvtheatertrash - where did you end up going instead (if you don't mind me asking)?
