Ok, so tomorrow I start governor's school for music. At this school I will be studying different genres of music and will be performing what I learn. I've been doing this summer school for the past two years and right now its really gotten me thinking about some things. I want to do musical theatre when I'm out of high school or college. I was just wondering if anyone out there knows the correct steps to take--has any experience on how to move foward in the field. Currently, I'm taking piano and voice lessons, sometimes I have an acting coach in my voice lessons. I do the plays in school but I don't have enough class space to take the drama and speech classes that are offered because if this all doesn't work out, I'll have my academic achievements to fall back on. What else can I do? I was thinking about doing a camp after I graduate to have a more specific focus on what I'm planning to major in. Also are dancing classes really necessary? The majority of dancers plan to dance on Broadway and I was wondering in theatre how does that affect the auditioning process. Do actors/singers slim their chances if they haven't studied dancing or are those in charge satisfied with the talent you have and are willing to have one learn the steps along the journey? Any insight is helpful.
