I just got into the integrated program in NYC for AMDA and I'm scared shitless. I'm Mexican so I got HELLA family that loves and supports me and are willing to help but we're all poor AF too so the most help I get is books for both years family-wise and FAFSA is stressful, moving from a small town is stressful but idk you made me hopeful just now and a little more at ease. Thank you for the helpful video!
Marlenn Luna Yes completely scary but we all have to do things that scare us in order to grow! You got this!

blackcircus I want to study in AMDA I want to know personally with you
Thank you so much. This video is really helpful. I've been wanting to enter this school since last year. Now I know, I still have lots to prepare on the financial side. Im from the Phililpines. And once I go there, I'll be supporting myself alone. Like most people, I come from a very simple family who cant afford these type of education. But you know what, ITS REALLY MY DREAM. And I want to do every single effort I can so I could have it.
I have been working for 3 years now. Saving money for your studies and helping your family at the same time isn't easy. But Im still hoping to enter this school and get a good opportunity on the field.
Hope we'll be able to meet if I went there this year or next year. You seem like a nice person. Looking forward for more AMDA videos. Im subscribing!
Ive already graduated but I’m still around! Break a leg on auditioning! Yes save money and find and apply to many scholarships and grants!!!
Is it worth it? I’m auditioning next week and I am worried that maybe Im in over my head financially....what should I do?
Jordyn Elliott You know this comes to play in my mind sometimes now that I’ve gotten in again. You just have to think about your dreams and how much they mean. Now that’s not to say there aren’t other schools to audition for that are cheaper you know. Have a backup choice... 2 or 3 heck maybe 4 and just weigh your options. For me, either way I’ll be taking loans but I view school loans as just another bill I have to pay so I’m pretty much ok with that. I pay school loans now (but AMDA will put me over 20,000 in debt) but this is something I really want. Really think it over you know. And look maybe you get there and reach a decision. You can ALWAYS go somewhere else. Sorry I’m long winded.
i love the intro!!!
Ashley Costa Thanks!
Thank you this set my head straight.
QUEEN FAMOUS You’re welcome! Glad to help!
blackcircus I'm going to the LA one. my parents want me to get out of it bc they are paying and they think its too expensive. I wanted to pay it myself with a little bit of their help. One part is telling me that I shouldn't do it bc its too expensive but the other side of me is saying I shouldn't let money get in the way of my goals.if I pass this up I feel like I'm going to lose an opportunity but if I go I feel like the money might not have been worth it
QUEEN FAMOUS Yeah I completely know what you mean. In my case I’m just like hey you gotta go for your dreams because this is all I have now. It’ll set me in some debt but hey I’m use to it! I’m paying debt now and still love a decent life. I have to do this! And if it doesn’t work out I can leave.
blackcircus do you know how the performing arts program is?
QUEEN FAMOUS No I don’t sorry.
Girl I like you and i definitely want to go to this school I'm from Ottawa Canada
Ketsia Matala Aw thanks!!!

Talkin bout Tootie Did you make it? *crosses fingers*
Did u make it?

Thanks
Is it possible to get accepted to a masters degree after AMDA bachelors degree ? what if I wanted to go let’s just say to Juilliard for theater 🎭 lol just curious and I live in Palmdale about 1 hour away from Los Angeles I would say maybe 10 minutes added due to traffic but i want to do both acting for film and stage why not try both lol would you say musical theater would be ideal?
I am not in the musical theatre program so I can’t fully say. However if you want to really sing then that would be your choice but it doesn’t sound like it. Also you can pursue a Master’s after you get a Bachelor’s degree from AMDA.
Hi, I’m from Venezuela and my dream is to study Musical Theater in NYC. AMDA is my dream college and i’ve been thinking about auditioning next year. The only problem is that i’m from a Venezuelan middle class family and the economic situation in Venezuela is a freaking mess, what do you know about scholarships?
hey blackcirus! thanks for share your experience with us!
Questions.
I"ve heard that being a student in AMDA its really hard but thats my dream and I thing we are in the same situtation about not getting scolarships and get loans, so how are you paying them do u still have time for work and study at the same time? thats what I"m afraid of.
Do you have to have any experience of acting before?
My other issue is that I will be 24 on Jun. Do you think that Im too late to start persuing my dreams? be honest
THANK YOU!!
Did you do the extended payment plan
Hi omg I hope u see this and answer this , I have an audition and I’m gonna try so hard I was just wandering is it hard to get accepted?? I don’t come from much and I fear they might not accept me
Karin Milian Your talent is how you will get in! Rock your audition and be your authentic self, period! It doesn’t matter if you don’t come from much, most of us don’t but you have to believe in yourself and give it all you got. It’s cliche but cliches are cliches for a reason!
@@Lyrictruth omg thank you soooo much okay yeah you are right I get sooo nervous I want this bad . I appreciate you for taking the time to reply 💕 means so much
Karin Milian No problem! You’re welcome!!! Break a leg!!
I would love to go to AMDA for dance but
A. I'm broke to begin with
B. I live in London!
How hard is it to get cheaper tuition and does my situation make it pretty much impossible to go? DX xx
(Love the intro btw xx)
Lilmiss Mai Thanks! Also it doesn’t make it impossible but the cost will be different. Take a look at their website and if you still have questions call them. They’re very friendly and will answer all your questions and point you in the right direction on how to make it possible! Plus there are tons of scholarships and grants for pretty much everything... even left handers!! Give it a try! You gotta at least try!!! :)
blackcircus I am too interested to study in AMDA.
Can I talk with you in PC
My email: bedbyash.dhakal007@gmail.com
So I was planning on attended AMDA but now I'm looking for another school for performing arts . They told me I had to pay 20,000 in order to start my classes
IAM Neice Yeah AMDA is not cheap. It’s crazy expensive. You still had to pay $20k after doing your FAFSA?
how much cost yearly in AMDA LA
Is this for each year?
I can’t remember the is video exactly but you pay every semester but it’s split between each. So yearly BFA is like $100,000 and the AOS or certificate is totaled at lol $50,000 give or take both.
I have a very important question, if a person who doesn't dance well, can be accepted? dance is my weakness :(
Are you going into the dance program? If so I think yeah you should be able to dance well in order to get in or at least know slightly more than the basics. If your not going into dance the. You don’t have to worry about dance.
@@Lyrictruth I want musical teathre, is ver important?
Larissa Santos That wasn’t my program so I don’t know much about it. It’s best to call and ask. I know you’ll have dance classes when you get accepted though like jazz and tap, etc. So definitely call!
I'm auditioning on 17th virtually... Do you have any tips on how I actually get accepted in.
Miss Mirembe Be prepared! If you mess up keep going like you didn’t. Ultimately, it’s their decision on if you’re accepted or not so there’s not any actual tips on how to “get” accepted. They’re looking for potential so go in there and show them you have just that! Pick strong audition pieces that really showcase your talent and own it. Be confident!
@@Lyrictruth I really like you lol!!! I literally subscribed and I might not even be going to AMDA. I'm so nervous. I don't know what monologue to do, I don't know if I'm good enough... You could maybe do a video on tips to acting better. I'd love it.
Miss Mirembe Ok I’ll do a video like that soon then. I’ll put it out this week.
@@Lyrictruth can't wait
i wanna go to this academy but i don't know exactly how much it cost, can u ket me know please
Ivan Nivia It’s on the website but if it hasn’t changed for
When I started BFA is 100,000 a year and Conservatory is 50,000 a year.
So in other words do anyone know another school I should go to before fall starts???👀😭😭
IAM Neice Hm.. Well if I wasn’t going to be able to go to AMDA, I was looking at Stellar Adler LA, The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, etc. You should look some up and see reviews and call them when you have a list.
I got accepted but I cant pay the Tuition Deposit in time
Have you tried a loan? Maybe from a credit union? Or you did financial aid? You can also call and see if they’ll extend the deadline...
@@Lyrictruth can I do the if I'm not eighteen though, apply to a credit union
Oh no I don’t think so.
@@Lyrictruth well thank you anyways, it was a fun notion while it lasted, but its time to let another dream die.
Look there’s other ways? Any friends or aunts? Like I said call the school! They increased my scholarships for me! Be persistent! Give it a fighting chance!
I'm in such a state of confusion with this.. Colloge was never my plan tbh cause I feel like it's a scam originally i graduated from a pefroming arts school in my hometown but never cared for Colloge cause as a dancer/singer it seems like it's not a necessity to go to college for us Artistic people as it is for other people.. but than I heard of AMDA which was a perfect school for me! I refuse to go to a college where I have to focus on academics seeing as I'm going for the peforming arts I want everything to be focused on that and that alone AMDA is one of the very few schools that focus a majority on your major than frivolous things such as math, science, English etc.. HOWEVER the amount of debt this school put you in is insane & I'm not with the debt thing I've seen first hand how long it takes to pay off and how bad it can get not to mention it's alot of debt to get a degree that's some would say isn't necessary to be successful in such field so idk I never felt like going to college for my field was a necessity but Im scared that it might actually be a necessity and if I don't go I won't be successful in my field or at all for that matter. All in all IF I was to go to college I'd only go to this one but it all just seems so unrealistic cause I'm beyond broke and a multiple minority individual and a school like this seems impossible to go to unless your of a richer or vastly more wealthy variety.. all in all I'm just extremly conflicted in regards to this.. any opinions you have on this would be greatly appreciated though!
Aaron Williams This is definitely something to think about. College tuition is ridiculously insane and there are tons of people in debt. I have a little school debt too right now and going to this school will do so much more damage but right now my dreams mean it all for me. The sacrifice, the debt... I am no stranger to paying bills. So I’m doing it anyway, because to me it’s worth it. Sure I could chance it and not go to school but that’s not the route I want to go. I want and need to know my craft; nurture it and learn it all to become greater... It’s just worth it. Now I have looked at another conservatory program that’s a lot cheaper too so that’s another option for me... But make the best decision for you, and if one day you decide it’s not worth the debt you’ll end up having, leave/drop out and find another way. Research all your options before committing and maybe it’ll be a little easier to decide. I have many people in my life that have successfully paid their school debt off so there is hope. Loans suck ass but I’m not rich so applying for scholarships and grants are imperative. There are other options to get money for school that you don’t have to pay. They’re competitive but they’re out there. Think of your options, audition anyway and then make the decision, because you may fully decide on the next step when you’re accepted. You get a whole year to enroll so you’ll have time for other options you know. Hope this helped a little.... Plus I plan on being a working actor so I’ll be able to pay these loans off quickly! ;)
blackcircus what was the other consavatory you look into?
Aaron Williams I also looked into Stellar Adler in NY. Way cheaper and one of my fav actors (Mark Ruffalo) went there.
blackcircus oh I see.. I'm more on the dance and Musical Theater side as you can see from my channel lol but yeah I appreciate this I've been nervous regarding it cause I graduated in 2016 and due to some personal issues didn't go to college but now I'm worried that if I don't go I won't be successful at all but I'm nervous that if I do go and end up not likeing it I'll still have to pay my debt back if I come back home and that's something I'd hate to do especially if I find out Colloge just wasn't for me
Aaron Williams Yeah you have some thinking to do. I feel you though because if I’m not feeling it then... I’ll leave too then it’ll be doing it on my own. However I know I’ll like it because it involves what I love doing and learning how to hone the talent. So really think about it, pros cons, what ifs, etc. I graduated in 2012 and I didn’t go for acting and regret it. But I just know I’ll love school this time around.
I adore your hair!
Witch Please! Thank you!
It's amazingly they can't offset the cost more substantially since there's a $75.00 application fee when submitting your application! At least there was back in the mid-90s when I auditioned.
Witch Please! Exactly! I can’t even remember if there is a app fee anymore lol!
@@Lyrictruth Great minds, hon'! Also, I'm shocked they even allow videotaped auditions here in the U.S.! That was ONLY reserved for international students! Had I been able to submit a tape I'd have been much more at lease with my Voice Teacher! But, when I did audition, despite going over the tempo several times with the pianist (and immediately before the audition), he rushed the tempo and played it WAY too fast, which through me off badly! So, had to start over--a huge no-no! I was humiliated. I was singing, "Nothing's Gonna' Harm You," which is not played fast.
