It’s your high school senior year and you have so many questions… some of which may include - Which college is right for me? How many should I apply to? BA or BFA? Which monologues will I choose? Are my contrasting songs contrasting enough? Where do I film my prescreens? How do I know my dance choreo is current?? What’s my wildcard??? Help!!

  • Let The College Audition Academy create a plan just for you.

    It all begins with you. Who you are, what your strengths are

    and what direction you want to go in, are just some of the questions

    we ask to begin an audition plan for you. Don’t worry - we got this!

  • The PreScreen

    It all begins with that little voice inside you that turns into the big voice

    you let out. Picking out songs and monologues that show off your range,

    talent and style are just the beginning of a great audition season.

  • The Audition

    Preparing you for the AUDITION is what we live for at

    The College Audition Academy. Learn strategies that will bring

    out your confidence in the live audition, video auditions and at unifieds.

  • The Wildcard

    Who are you ??

    What do you do when you’re not on stage?

    Let’s create a wildcard that you’ll be proud

    of and that they will remember.

  • The Monologue

    Choosing the right material is one of the most important decisions

    you will make when beginning the prescreen and audition process.

    Who you are and how you connect to the material will be the deciding

    factor in passing prescreens. Keeping it real and honest is the goal.

  • The Song

    Choosing songs for your prescreen and college audition

    can be difficult because so much is at stake.

    Not only do they represent who you are but also need to

    show off your incredible voice. Together we will identify your strengths

    and choose songs that will make you stand out.

The Dance Prescreen

I think one of the most exciting aspects of the prescreen process is putting together a student and a choreographer and creating the DANCE! Here we will continue the story that is YOU and present a prescreen that shows who you are and what makes you unique.

“The Audition is it’s own Art Form”
