Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The best way to reach your goals is to go to a college with a musical theater program. There are many schools out there that offer MT as a degree option. A few of the top schools are Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, Carnegie Mellon, Boston Conservatory, NYU, and there are many others. To prepare for your audition you need to study dance, acting, and singing in high school. A vocal coach is very important because there are big do's and don'ts in regards to the vocal audition aspect of applying to MT schools. Schools are usually looking for proficiency in 2 of the 3 main disciplines. You are still young enough to get prepared for auditions. Start acting, voice, and dance lessons this summer if possible. If you can't take all three, try to at least take voice lessons and audition for every play and musical you can. On stage training will not replace acting lessons, but can help teach you a lot about the craft. The road is a hard one, but it can be an exciting profession.

Good Luck.
