So, you'd like to be an actor! Now that you've figured that out, the next question you'll ultimately have to answer is, "Where do I start?" The options here are varied and endless, but many young actors and actresses choose to pursue a theatrical education before taking their show on the road. Should you go to college for theater? If so, where? What is a college audition like? What's the difference between a liberal arts program and a conservatory? Which one is right for me? These are questions that every young Broadway-hopeful faces, and without the proper guidance, the answers can be hard to find.
Thankfully, the internet has made the process a little easier. Plus, we're here to help!

Mary Anna Denard, author of "I Got In!: The Ultimate College Audition Guide for Acting and Musical Theater", has the answers to everything you've been dying to ask--- from headshots and resumes to what to wear for graduate school auditions.
