has
almost become a Fine Art these days. Enrollment at universities
is climbing, SAT scores are at an all time high, the cost
of tuition is rising, and application requirements are
becoming frighteningly more narrow.
With everything students have to consider it may seem
to require a team of talent agents to stand out among
the masses. Our high school seniors are often facing a
scene that looks like David meeting the Goliath of Corporate
America armed only with a number 2 pencil. |

Students who have already identified
the performing arts for their post-secondary education
face an entirely different application process. In addition
to the customary and often detailed admission materials
required by schools, the performing artist must also undergo
an audition or entrance interview either in person or
prepared on videotape. Some schools have detailed audition
specifications that require the performer to prepare numerous
selections.
Prospective students also often need to contribute a resume
or portfolio of work and in some instances participate
in a workshop or day of extended interviews with the faculty.
Because of the nature of this audition process it demands
a considerable time and financial commitment for both
the parent and student. |

As a college admissions consultant it
is my wish to alleviate much of the anxiety facing young
artists at this important crossroads in their life.
Over the past 20 years I’ve been through this process
myself many times as a student, performer, and educator.
I will bring my knowledge, lessons learned, and perspective
in the field of arts education to the table for your family
to use.
I help students to identify education and career goals.
I provide counseling so that the student can select a
school that suits their needs and I assist them in building
their admission portfolio. I recommend audition material
and coach students in how to present it as well as prepare
them for interviews, talent scholarships, and college
visits. |

Give your students, cast, or employees
an outside guide to help accomplish new skills or add
a new “outfit” to their “traveling suitcase.”
Whether you are a teacher wanting to provide your students
with a new perspective on their developing technique or
an employer or director needing consultation, I can help
you achieve your goals.
Choose from any of the ready made workshops or lessons
below or “make a request” and I’ll create
a custom presentation. I work with any age, any group,
or any project that wants to build a set of creative and
practical tools for the workplace, stage, or classroom. |
