STEP 2: CHOOSE A LESSON BUNDLE TO ADD TO YOUR CART (must add at least one of the following)

Wondering how many hours to plan for? The average MCA student receives around 30 hours of one-on-one coaching, consulting, and audition preparation from the start of their process to the very end. Total hours needed vary depending on intended degree type & how much support a student already has for the process, and are typically spread across a 6-12 month period.

All hours can be redeemed for the following session types: Monologue and Song Selection • Monologue Prep • Song Prep • Acting for the Song Prep • Dance Call Prep • Interview Prep • Confidence Coaching • 25-minute Brush Up Lessons • Additional consultations • 1-on-1 Virtual Mock Auditions
