Julliard is my dream school, and I’ve wanted to audition for years. Hopefully when I audition in a few years I’ll get in but idk if my acting is good enough 😢
Lucas are you in high school? Is that why you’re waiting a few years to audition? If so, great, keep growing and gain as much valuable experience as possible by doing plays, attending summer workshops, reading plays and acting books, and engaging in conversation with artists you respect. Always feel free to email me with where you’re at and you’ll get solid advice on drama school auditions. Anthony@howtogetintodramaschool.com
great tips, the truth is..., before I only wanted to get into Juilliard, but now I want it with all my desire, you are excellent, Anthony really, thank u for this tips!
I trust that I will succeed, and I will strive at it,
Anthony! I love your videos!! supper informative, thank you.
You are very welcome Amanda! I'm happy to share, but mostly I'm happy my friends can share. Everyone we've helped get into drama school has benefited from all the stories on this channel. We'll continue to try and share as many voices to keep you inspired. Are you planning on auditioning for drama school soon?
You have a subtle relevance to Laurence Olivier's face. I'm not even kidding. It's very subtle!
Priya that’s awesome! I guess I’ll keep doing what I’m doing then.
I’m from Mexico and Julliard is my dream school, I really need to prepare myself because I don’t have the money. And I also haven’t talked to my parents yet about me wanting to study Acting.
Daniel, when are you planning to audition? Email me - anthony@howtogetintodramaschool.com
Omg I’m from mexico too!! I love doing theatre and Juilliard is my dream school I’m 13 and still have lots of time to prepare hope you get in!❤️
Hello Anthony! Thank you so much for reminding me to have fun. I am dreaming since I am a child to become an actress and I am not doing much for it. I got carried by the pressure and the fact that I do not have the money to follow the road you took. You positive energy reminded me to enjoy the process and why I love so much to play!
Absolutely! I'm glad you received that message because it's so true! Everyone's path is unique to them, and I encourage you to continue having fun and take advantage of every opportunity you have to learn and grow as an artist.
Great Advice! Thank you!!
Of course! Are you auditioning this upcoming year?

Damian Bresnan Thanks, Damian. I share so others have the resources to be as guided and prepared as possible!
I want to try out for the pre college. I am not expecting to make it but I heard they give you really specific feedback and I think it will help me out when I try out fr next year 😏
Go for it. What other schools are you looking at for next year? Email me. Anthony@howtogetintodramaschool.com
Great tips Anthony...
I'd like to know that are we supposed to submit a resume of our acting/drama work experience during the auditions for a BFA degree?
Thanks! For the resume question, check the audition requirements from each individual school's website. Generally though, yes, schools will have you submit a resume.
Im in middle school and i really want to go ive always had a passion for music and i want to pursue it
Hi Antony! I am applying for fall 2021. Your video is super helpful ✌🏼👏
How exciting! I’d love to hear what schools you’re applying to! Email me with where you’re at - Anthony@howtogetintodramaschool.com
You better be ready its now THIS NEXT FALL.
@@brieflynoted1 I did not get through the first round
@@carpediem4557 oh sorry :(
@@brieflynoted1 I see! Email me. I'd love to hear about your experience and we and we can discuss what the next year looks like. Anthony@howtogetintodramaschool.com
I would love to go to Juilliard but I do not know how to set up a schedule for an audition, and it would be really helpful if you could tell me how to do that. I am 14 and live in texas btw. Also, what were some methods you used to prepare for the audition?
Nathan Hackler hi this is Anthony. Step 1: go get the best training you can for the next few years. Step 2: apply to the drama schools you want to go to using the instructions on their website. Step 3: email me with any questions along the way. Anthony@howtogetintodramaschool.com. That was my tongue-in-cheek way of saying you’re young. You don’t have to worry about college auditions yet. Spend the next 3 years growing as much as possible in your acting.
did you ever audition??
i am auditioning for my mfa and i would be happy to get coaching by you :)
Cool. What MFA programs are you thinking about? Email me and we'll connect. anthony@howtogetintodramaschool.com
My audition is tomorrow! Can't wait!
Good luck!
Have a blast Graham. No matter what happens, feel free to reach out and share how it went. It can be productive to reflect, and I'm happy to hear! anthony@howtogetintodramaschool.com
How was your audition, I hope you can get in Julliard
It went well! I felt pretty good about it, but I didn't get a callback. Oh well. I made it into Elon University's BFA Acting program so I may go there, but if I make it into UNCSA I may go there instead. We'll see.
I've always wanted to know how did you comb you hair with an apple, did you crush it and use it as gel or used it as a whole apple showing some struggle. I've always found that part of the process very interesting and do you remember how others reacted to being told to use an apple to comb your hair ?
Ha I'm not sure if you're being serious or facetious. Either way, don't overthink it. Rely on your sense of play and have fun! In explorations like these, there's no right choice or wrong choice. The only wrong choice is to not make one. So I did it with full commitment and whatever that meant for me in the moment. I don't remember what other people were doing as I was fully engrossed in my world they were leading me through. If you need any clarity or have any questions, feel free to email me at anthony@howtogetintodramaschool.com
But if the people want to know...there was no destruction of the imaginary apple. Lol I believe I used the bottom of the apple to improve my looks that day.
@@HowToGetIntoDramaSchool I'm well aware that the apple was imaginary 😂! I just wanted to see what you did in response. I would have taken a bite from the apple, spit it in my hand and used is as "gel" which was initially what I tried to suggest in my poorly asked question😂! But thank you for the feedback.
Marie Anby 😂 no worries, maybe you would have or maybe you would have done something else in that moment. Who knows?
Hi I have a couple questions. So can you audition for Julliard at any age like if you’re a 12 year old can you audition and if you do, do you just go school there now or something? My second question: Is the Julliard acting program mainly just about theatre or do you learn about Acting in screen films and acting in TV shows/movies because I just want to act in shows & movies, not really theatre?
Kay TV These are good questions to ask the school. Even though I graduated from Juilliard, I am not a representative of the school so I cannot speak on behalf of them. If you want my personal experience, I’m happy to talk more via email! Email me with where you’re at: anthony@howtogetintodramaschool.com
Hello, I had a question. I am 21, and I have done some college before but nothing to do with acting. I don’t have any sort of acting experience. I was wondering how much time do you think I should spend getting training and what not in order to then have a good shot at getting into Juilliard. Would it be enough to if I started now and applied this fall to hopefully get in for the 2025 school year? Or is that too short notice? Thank you
You can get into top drama schools with no experience. That being said, you should do everything you can to grow as much as possible between now and the audition. That means align with mentors you trust and are inspired by, dive into the craft and take advantage of opportunities to learn! If drama school in Fall 2025 is what you want, you can have it. My advice is don’t hold back, it starts now! If you’d like to get a head start on discussing schools and monologues, I’d love to hear your story and provide guidance on your best next steps. Schedule a free consultation with me at HowToGetIntoDramaSchool.com/FreeTalk
Once this whole situation in the world. I'm going to fill my experience acting bar to at least have a chance at entering at juilliard.
Hopefully when I audition my anxiety won't get the best of me...
I hope so too! It's ok to have some nerves - it shows you care. The best way to prevent anxiety when auditioning for drama school is good preparation. With good preparation, you will have confidence in your quality of work and you'll still feel those "excited" nerves, but those are the good kind!
CONGRATULATIONS. I can tell WHY you got accepted. :)
Thanks, David. It's a valuable process for any artist to prepare fully for these auditions. And I encourage anyone who's serious about getting great actor training to put their name in the hat for these schools because you never know! All of us alumni are living examples of people who prepared well and were happy to see our name on the callback list. Why not you?
for the initial audition and even onward, how much body language did you use and things whilst performing ur monologue
I explored many choices related to my entire instrument. There's no formula or shortcut about "how much to move" or "how much to emote." Your job is to bring truth to the imaginary circumstances and tell the most interesting story possible. That's only possible when you come into every rehearsal, coaching session, and audition with a sense of play and a willingness to work. If you have a strong PROCESS, you will DISCOVER the optimal amount of body language your piece requires and you should trust that. Good question! Are you planning on auditioning for drama school?
❤
😊
i’m auditioning tomorrow 😳
@@kshtjmlk i don’t know what it was like in previous years before corona, but this year at least, you don’t need to do anything to “get” an audition per-say. you submit the online application which includes some questions, a personal essay, a resume, and a headshot. then you just schedule your audition. all applicants get the chance to audition, i’m pretty sure they don’t review your application until later (like if you make it through callbacks and they need to narrow down who to admit) so you don’t have to worry about not having an impressive resume or anything. they care more about your work than your physical application.
@@victoriap.3394 HEY IM AUDITIONING TOMORROW and i have a question, do you get to chose which of the two monologues you want to present or do they chose for you im so nervous
@@Jdgarces ahhh i’m sorry i’m just now seeing ur question, i guess you know the answer by though 😅 how’d the audition go?
Is it worth auditioning for Juilliard drama BFA if I’ve only taken a couple acting classes and that’s all I can put on my resume...?
Rohjesei I’m certainly not one to say whether you have enough experience or not to get into Juilliard or any school. That’s up to the school. I do know that if you’re questioning whether it’s even worth auditioning, you’ve still got some ways to go before you’re ready to audition. I would get as much experience as I can and find pieces you love that you’ve worked hard on. 👍👏👏👏👏
Hello, I have a question. How do you get scholarships for Juilliard? Cause even if I ever got in (which would be really hard as well) I'd have to pay the tuiton since it's a private school, and it's really really expensive, so is there a way to get a scholarship?
Yes Juilliard offers scholarships to students it accepts. So do other top schools. It, of course, varies based on many things including artistic merit, financial need and more. It’s good that your aware of the impact of tuition, but to be honest, I would apply regardless. If you get accepted to a top drama school that only accepts 18 students a year, that means they want you!! If you have concerns about finances, they will provide the resources that help you accept the offer!
@@convergenttheatreco Thank you for your help. One more thing, are all auditions face to face? Because, you see, I live in Argentina so there's like absolutely no way I could have that kind of audition. And if not, how do I apply for it? Is there like a website that tells me when they're holding auditions or something? I'm totally aware that there's no way for me to get into that kind of school, but at least to know and maybe even try, just because I could say that "I had a Juilliard application", or perhaps (in a million years) maybe even get in, haha. And no, I'm not a pesimist, it's just that I have no idea how I would even do it or if I would be skilled enough, so I think that I'm more of a realist but still a daydream, haha!
If you love to act. I encourage you to dive into the craft, spend time growing as an actor, and DEFINITELY apply to drama school (including Juilliard and others). Each school’s website has Audition Requirements. If the school is outside your country, you want to look where it says “International Students.” Expect to send in a prescreen as part of your application. If they want to see you in person, hopefully you can make that happen. International students get accepted to drama schools every year!
@@convergenttheatreco I see, thank you for your help again. Is there any way I can contact you if I have any other questions?
Please! Anthony@howtogetintodramaschool.com
I really wanna go to drama school especially Juilliard I never thought i would be able to but my counsellor gave me advice and i want to now explore my options so i wanna audition to Juilliard after I finish High school in 2024. Is there any advise you can give me that could help advance to the next level and get on track to be prepared for my application and audition??? Thanks
Thanks for reaching out! We can certainly point you in the right direction. Why don’t u shoot me an email: anthony@howtogetintodramaschool.com and I can share some help tips and next steps! 🎭❤️
i have a few questions I am 16 now and i am planning to apply for undergrad.
The thing is I am from india and do you think that will affect my chances of getting selected.
I have combed the internet but i cant find how i can apply and audition as an international student I obviously cant go there in person to audition and i want to ask if i can send them video ?
also the website says that SATs and GPA is not required but is it applicable to international students as well?
do i have to write TOEFL exam?
i reallly hope you guys answer these questions
Sisira, yes you can apply to drama schools (including Juilliard) as an international student and get accepted! Typically, audition requirements for international students are found on the same page as audition requirements for domestic students. Here's the Juilliard page for example - www.juilliard.edu/arm/drama/college/acting/bachelor-fine-arts. If you have questions beyond what's on the audition requirements page, I recommend you call the Admissions Office. They are the resource you want to use to will answer application questions. As far as video...most schools require a prescreen be sent in. If you pass the prescreen, they will invite you to a live audition (except this year with covid where everything's over Zoom), but if you can't make the live audition for some reason you would have to communicate that with the school and see if there's anything they can do. But usually an in-person audition is required to get accepted to a school, so start saving for the trip! Lastly, as far as SAT/GPA and TOEFL, go with what the website says. Again, call or email the Admissions Office. If English is not your first language, you will likely be required to pass the TOEFL exam. Studying at drama school in America requires complete fluency with the English language. Hope that helps! And make sure to spend this next year growing as an artist and gaining as much as experience as you can!
hii!! ive been acting since i was eight, i am now thirteen and going into eighth grade this year. i’ve been dreaming of going to juilliard ever since i started acting. do you have any advice for me to help make this dream an accomplishment in the future?
Just keep having fun in life. You’re so young and still discovering your artistic instrument. Follow your heart and participate in things you’re interested in. If acting continues to be a passion for you, great, gain as much valuable experience as possible!
The next question I’d want to know is how to support yourself after graduating with a drama degree. What do you do now ?
I’ve supported myself in a lot of ways. Artistic projects, education projects, corporate projects, and more, all of which I’m doing right now. But the degree didn’t make me the money. You should know…Career success is much more about your personal philosophy than your degree. You can see this from the stories of successful people everywhere - they have a WIDE range of backgrounds and education. I’ve always brought my full self - including my unique Juilliard training - to various opportunities I’ve been interested in.
To be clear, these schools do not provide career success, they provide artistic training. How you use that training is what shapes your career, and every career is unique to the individual. I hope that makes sense and helps! Email me if you’d like to chat more👍 anthony@howtogetintodramaschool.com
Hello ! I got a question, its my dream to become an actress but for me someone who is not living in America, what should I do?
Hey Elisè it doesn’t matter where you live, you should take the next step to gain experience and improve your skills. Applying to drama school is a good step. Working with trusted mentors in your community is a good next step. If you’re applying to drama school, feel free to share your story with me via email and we can support your journey there.

Wondering if you have any tips for song selection! I've got a Juilliard audition in a few weeks and I'm sitting on three that I feel comfortable with. Thoughts?
Hey Spencer, sorry we didn't get to connect before your audition. How did it go? I'm happy to hop on a quick 10-15min Zoom call to discuss your experience and talk about song selection moving forward. Pick a day/time that works for you here - howtogetintodramaschool.com/freetalk
@@HowToGetIntoDramaSchool Hi! Thanks for your reply. It went well! I got a callback, but Juilliard has decided to no longer pursue conversations with me. No sweat! I've decided to not pursue graduate school this fall, but am leaving myself open to considering it again soon!
@@spencermarfy2530 Ok well that's encouraging you got a callback. Most people don't! I respect your decision and of course am here if you'd like to talk drama school. 🙌
Do you get bonus points if you cry at the graveyard one??
I will never know what gave me bonus points in the eyes of the school, but as an actor you want to be sensitive to your imagination. So when anyone offers you an adjustment (like Juilliard offered me the graveyard adjustment), you should have the ability to really go there imaginatively and allow whatever comes up to come up. Does that make sense?
How To Get Into Drama School yes it does thanks
Hi! I want to get in but I don't know how :(
I'm from Guatemala, Can you help me to get in?
Mariel De León Anthony here - I appreciate your comment! To get a better understanding for yourself about how to get in, I would strongly recommend my book - How To Get Into Drama School. It’s a realistic point of view about how to get into drama school. I’m happy to give that to you for half off here - howtogetintodramaschool.com/welcome
That’s the best answer to your question. If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to email me at anthony@howtogetintodramaschool.com
Happy to help you out!
How To Get Into Drama School that link didn’t work for me?
Should i write my own monologue for the audition?
Hi Nour, my recommendation is no. Drama schools will definitely want to see how you handle scenes/moments written by others. Some schools even specifically request that you do not bring in material you wrote. However, if you’re inspired to write something and you want to work on it and the school allows it, why not? The bottom line is what the school require and you’re allowed to audition within that framework! If you want to talk further about this, email me. Anthony@howtogetintodramaschool.com
did you have to actually go to the school for the audition?
Hi Kristopher, the school holds auditions in 3 cities. So you can audition at the school in NY, or you can audition in Chicago, or San Francisco. Whatever works best for you. I auditioned in San Francisco because that worked best with my audition schedule. I didn't think much more about it. Hope that helps! Are you thinking about auditioning? Email me, I'd love to hear your story! anthony@howtogetintodramaschool.com
Does grades effect your chance of getting in?
RTS. Official - If you have to submit grades as part of your application, then yes schools do take a look at them. But each school is different in how much they care about grades. I obviously can’t answer and would recommend you call each school you’re applying to get the perspective of that particular school. In general, universities (like University of Minnesota Guthrie program and Boston University) care more about grades than private schools (Juilliard, CalArts etc)
If i sing good are there more possibilities to get in?
Margot angulo Yes if you’re auditioning for a musical theatre program. Not so much if you’re auditioning for an acting program. For acting programs, it matters less about how “good” you sing and more about your ability to tell a story and commit through song.
Me who has been acting since I was 7: Haha piece of ca-
Also me: *fails*
It is ironic, and I'm glad you have a good sense of humor. But every "failure" is an opportunity to learn and get better, so I'm excited to hear from you!
@@HowToGetIntoDramaSchool I’m not actually 18, Im actually in 8th grade right now. This school is my dream school though, so I am looking forward to the future. :)
@@brieflynoted1 Ah. In that case, keep growing and follow your heart. Lots of fun ahead for you.
