Refine your audition repertoire, learn tricks of the trade for virtual auditions and recordings, develop a comprehensive college application strategy, and meet industry professionals and master teachers. At the end of the program, students will participate in a mock-audition showcase for college adjudicators. "I absolutely loved how much information I was able to get, from audio and video recording in my specific field to writing a good college essay. I feel so much more confident and organized for my college applications. I especially loved how I was able to apply everything I learned at the end of the program, and my mock audition made me feel way more ready for the real ones." - Evelyn, age 17, College Audition Boot Camp student
