Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I believe I am a triple threat, I have the lead role for my schools musical, and I was asked to sing for graduation, a huge honor, I have these amazing pipes, I can dance almost to perfection, and my comedic timing is amazing, but how do I impress the big guys? I hate to break it to you, but in the perspective of Broadway, starring in your school's musical isn't much of a big deal at all. Back up the ego a little bit. Confidence and being self-assured will get you far in this field, but trust me, there is and always will be someone better than you out there, no matter how talented you are. Now that I have that out of my system... Look into majoring in musical theatre when you go to college. There are a lot of great programs out there... Syracuse, Carnegie Mellon, NYU, Shenandoah, and Boston Conservatory, to name a few. There's a ton more out there, but that's just what I have off the top of my head. Work hard and train well in college, audition for university productions, and audition for summerstock shows. The programs should prepare you for how to break into the professional world, and after college you can start auditioning for professional theatres, national touring companies, and even Broadway. Trust me, majoring in a good musical theatre program will prepare you wonderfully to work professionally. Never assume you know it all or that you are the best - you can ALWAYS learn more about this craft, you can ALWAYS get better, and as I said before, there is ALWAYS someone out there who is better than you. Always work to improve. Good luck to you! and I want to add that I am sorry for comming out that way, totally out of my rules, please forgive me Report It * You must be logged into Answers to add comments.
