Service Description

The path to a BFA or BA program is a marathon of deadlines and artistic requirements. This comprehensive three-session curriculum is designed to demystify the process and provide a professional roadmap for high school juniors and seniors. Phase 1: The Strategy & School List (60 min) We begin by laying a solid foundation. We’ll analyze your goals to build a "Smart List" of colleges and organize the technical requirements for each. The School Audit: Categorizing programs into "Reach, Target, and Safety." Degree Navigation: Discussing the nuance between BFA, BA, and Conservatory-style programs to find your best fit. The Blueprint Tracker: You’ll receive a custom spreadsheet to track deadlines, application portals, and specific school requirements. Phase 2: The Repertoire & "Type" Audit (60 min) College faculty aren't just looking for talent; they are looking for a specific "class" of individuals. We will select material that highlights your unique range and personality. The Wildcard Selection: Finding 2–3 pieces (monologues/songs) that contrast and showcase your versatility. Pre-Screen Strategy: Identifying which pieces are best for video submissions versus what to keep in your "back pocket" for live callbacks. Cut Refinement: Advice on ensuring your 16 and 32-bar cuts have a clear emotional arc. Phase 3: The Digital Portfolio & Polish (60 min) First impressions often happen through a screen. We ensure your digital presence is professional, cohesive, and "faculty-ready." The Collegiate Resume: Formatting your credits to emphasize training, masterclasses, and special skills: the things college programs value most. The Self-Tape Checklist: Guidance on lighting, framing, and slating for your pre-screen videos. The "About Me" Prep: Brainstorming and refining your responses for the video essays and interviews now required by most top programs.
