Broadway???

Question

Hi everyone! My dream is to one day be on Broadway. I work very hard, I am in singing privates twice a week and practice about 2 hrs each day. As well as church choir and a choir at school. I also am involved in piano and some drama. I know that I need more though. I need to take more advanced and effective active lessons. Where is this provided? Is there acting schools. Also, I definetley am starting dance classes after summer break. What should I be taking, Jazz and tap or Jazz and ballet, or ballet and tap. My mom can pay for two but not all three. Also, I am already 16. I know it is cutting it close but I am willing to practice as much as I need too. Any suggestions? All answers are appreciated!!! Thanks : )

Answer 1

Really, whichever ones you choose will be fine.  The important thing is that you love it and do it well.  You'll suck if you're miserable and won't want to practice.  Anything is useful, just do what you love and have fun.

And realize that you are going to have to work very, very, very hard and spend many, many years doing much more practice and probably classes before you get to Broadway.  Find a good theatre school.  That's really your best bet right now.

Good luck!

Answer 2

yes, u can take acting classes and workshops! some are at local theatres others at by independent acting schools! for broadway i would recommend jazz and tap! but ballet is great because ballet helps as a basis for all dance! if that made any sense!

Answer 3

First off you should DEFINATELY take Jazz and Ballet.  Anyone with any dance experience will tell you that Ballet is the basis of all other dance (even tap, though it's not that apparent.)  Ballet also best provides you with strength and technique which carries over into all other forms of dance.  If you want to go into Musical Theater for college ballet and jazz will be evaluated at most auditions, tap will not.  Variations of jazz are most commonly used in musicals.  Keep playing piano, it's a necesity for performers nowadays.  The private voice lessons are a must too.  Make sure your teacher knows your goals and is willing to work with you to acheive them.  When it comes to auditioning for a competetive school for a BFA in musical theater (which I highly recommend) your voice teacher will have to be in the preparation process A LOT, helping you choose songs etc.  Depending on where you live you can find good places to train.  Do not settle for any training that isn't the best you can get in your situation!  Also, just because it is most expensive doesn't mean it's the best.  Do research, ask around, take trial classes etc.  Start auditioning as much as possible also, auditioning is a major theme if you want to be on Broadway.  The better you can handle rejection the stronger you will be.  Look at auditions as classes and learning experiences and try to get at least one ting to improve on from every audition.

-Hope this helps!

Answer 5

Go online and search for acting classes in your area. If there are any local community theatres nearby, they will almost definitely offer them during the week. I've heard that ballet and jazz are the two majors in dance training, but if you're just starting dance, try to find an introductory class or something that gives lessons in all three and teaches you how to move. Pursue the ones you like best. Definitely go for the acting lessons though because knowing how to sing is good, but knowing how to act will, if nothing else, improve your singing, and give you a better chance of getting a part. Good luck
