PROGRAM DETAILS
JUNE 2022
In June, 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 twice a week, with access to College Process coaches to ask questions and plan.
WEDNESDAYS 5:30PM-8:30PM JUNE 1, 8, 15, 29 (NO CLASS JUNE 22)
SATURDAYS 10:00AM-1:00PM JUNE 4, 11, 18 (NO CLASS JUNE 25)
JULY 2022
In July, students will transition to confirming their pre-screen materials, finalize their college spreadsheets with pre-screen requirements from every school they are applying to, participate in group coachings, select their dance choreographer, participate in mock auditions, and attend Q&A sessions with top college professionals to learn the dos and don’ts of auditioning.
MONDAYS 5:30PM-8:30PM JULY 11, 18, 25 (NO CLASS JULY 4)
WEDNESDAYS 5:30PM-8:30PM JULY 13, 20, 27 (NO CLASS JULY 6)
SATURDAYS 10:00AM-1:00PM JULY 16, 23, 30 (NO CLASS JULY 9)
AUGUST 2022
In August, the program becomes more individualized with private coachings. Students will begin their private 1:1 coachings (number is based on the package selected) to prepare to film their pre-screen audition videos. 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 teaching while simultaneously working on their pre-screen auditions.
SEPTEMBER 2022
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 mid-end of September.
OCTOBER-DECEMBER 2022
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!
