In 2012 I began applying for an Acting MFA in NYC. My first time auditioning I did not get accepted (I did not even get a callback). But it began me on a year long training for the next year's audition. I studied weekly with Broadway and world renowned teachers and performers in NYC to get ready for the grad school auditions, and I learned more in that year of training than I had in the past 10 years of school. The auditions came and went, I did work I never thought I'd be capable of doing, and I got accepted to one of the most formidable programs in NYC, the Actors Studio Drama School at Pace University. This episode is purely about the audition process and training that I underwent to get ready to apply for American MFA programs, I'll speak more in further episodes about grad school itself.
