76: The Parents' Perspective: College Musical Theatre Auditions! How to support your child and stay sane in the process
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Co-host Chelsea Wilson is joined by two very wise parents on today's episode! Rachel Hart Klayman is from Ann Arbor, MI and is the mom of a sophomore acting student at NYU. And Erica Fischer is from Ames, IA and the mom of a senior in high school. At two very different points in the journey (a sigh of relief for Rachel and deep breaths during a stressful waiting season for Erica!), they share their hard-won wisdom about the college musical theatre audition process.
We cover it all: Self-care for parents, parent Facebook groups, schools lists, passing prescreens, whether to travel to schools or attend Unifieds, what to wear and why it matters, whether to work with a coaching program, and how to deal with rejection.
This episode is packed with actionable insights and heartfelt advice for parents and students alike. Subscribe to the Broadway Vocal Coach Podcast and stay tuned for more inspiring episodes!
