Choices, Decisions, Materials, Auditions, Questions
CST Conservatory takes rising seniors step-by-step through the Musical Theatre College Audition Process. Led by a team of professionals, students will work this summer to begin to plan for their college auditions by exploring material, college options, hearing from college professionals, mock auditions, 1:1 coaching, filming pre-screens, application help, preparing for callbacks, and more! Let us be your one stop shop to get you through the college process!
JUNE AND JULY SUMMER SESSION 2025
In the summer, students will begin to identify and prep their materials for pre-screen auditions, which take place in early Fall. Students will review school requirements, create spreadsheets to stay organized, make deadlines, and have dedicated study halls, with access to College Process coaches to ask questions and plan. Then, they will transition to confirming their pre-screen selection near the end of the summer, narrow down their school selections, participate in group coachings, attend Q&A sessions with top colleges around the nation, and begin their individualized consult sessions.
SUMMER 2025 DATES WILL BE SCHEDULED BASED ON STUDENT AVAILABILITY
AUGUST 2025
In August, the program becomes more individualized with private coachings. Students will begin their private 1:1 coachings to prepare to film their pre-screen audition videos, which also includes being assigned their choreographer for their dance requirements. Our 1:1 coachings are NOT vocal technique classes, although some vocal technique may be discussed. It is strongly recommended that the students continue vocal training by a voice teacher while simultaneously working on their pre-screen auditions. Students will be assigned different coaches throughout their 8 coachings, based on their material requirements and faculty availability.
SEPTEMBER 2025
In September, pre-screens will be filmed. Students will select a day and time that will be blocked off for them to film at CSTC Studios with one of our College Process coaches. All footage will be recorded with professional equipment and returned to the student to select their final materials for submission in a timely manner. The goal is to start to apply for programs by end of September.
OCTOBER 2024-FEBRUARY 2026
Through the Fall, students will be following up with our coaches to ensure their applications are submitted before deadlines. Students will also immediately start identifying/refining their callback material to prepare for future auditions and select audition dates for in-person auditions or Unifieds, etc.
Our College Process team will ensure they are with you every step of the way for this process!
