I’m watching every amda video possible right now haha. I am auditioning finally Sunday. I’m 20 now and have been looking at this school since I did the summer camp at 16. I really hope I get in and want to start this summer.
This video is so helpful! I was accepted to AMDA yesterday for the Studio program, I’m honestly really excited. I’m probably gonna pick them as my college because they’re honestly my dream, so thanks for this video!
this is the best video ever!!! I’m starting at AMDA in like 2 weeks which is mindblowing. I’m also gonna be doing integrated and I’m honestly so excited to her just somd honest opinions and good advice
The best advice I can give you is not to compare your journey to other peoples. There’s some people that will be better singers, better actors or a better dancer than you are. Don’t let that bring you down or discourage you. Just focus on yourself and strive to be a better YOU everyday.
Gurl, thank you so much, this video was very informative~~ I'm starting Summer semester in a few weeks and kinda freaking out!! I'm coming all the way from Taiwan so I wanna be as prepared as possible...
Hi ! Loved the video. So I have some questions. I wanna go to AMDA like in a 3 years time, but I have tons of problems. First I am Brazilian, so I am an international student and I don’t know how the rules works for me. Besides that I don’t know if I will be able to pay, so I really wants some tips... I saw something that international students can’t work while studying on AMDA it’s that true? Do I need to know how to dance SUPER well? Like I obviously dance, but I don’t know tap or classic ballet (I am kind of afraid of ballet actually) Thanks anyway ❤️
Do you know if you do a summer camp in the summer could you get a scholarship for the 4 months by doing it and how much is it for the 4 semesters because I was thinking on going next year
I'm wondering about the differences between the LA and the NY dorms. Judging from the website, it looks like you're paying the same amount for the dorms in both campuses, but the LA ones have like their own kitchen and stuff ?? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Idk if u have any info on the LA campus haha. Just wondering bc I'm currently fixing my application now.
Hi Thank you so much for this video Quick quesiton how can you pay for AMDA? I want to go there in 2 and 1/2 years but I dont know if I will be able to pay for it. Do you have any tips to pay for school?
I would say start applying for scholarships early, apply for all the one that you can. What I did was that I took out a loan! But you have so much time before coming here so I would apply for tons of scholarships
This has been the most helpful video for AMDA students! I'm an international student coming in June 2019 and I'm really excited but also really nervous! I am more interested in the cooking topic so how do you suggest is the best way to do meal prep?
Meal prepping will depend on what your scheadule is like when you get here. But it can be done and i recommend it 100% percent because it keeps you from wasting money (nyc is really expensive) you are coming for the summer semester which is when the school has the least amount of people in it because most people take the summer, so lucky for you the kitchen will be mostly empty
thank you so much for this video ♥️🙏🏾🙌🏾 I love it it’s really helpful definitely you should do a part 2 please How much do you pay ? Did they give you some Scholarship ?
this might be a weird question but what do you think about the people and the general vibe there? would you say everyone is really friendly or hyper competitive? is it more lively and fun or is everyone there to work and get ahead?
There are all kinds of people everywhere you go, I made sure that I always did my best to surround myself with good people. I never really noticed competitiveness because you aren't really competing with your classmates in class you are all learning together, I don't know if im making sense haha hope this was helpful!
Hey! I recently got accepted to AMDA in musical theatre and I was wondering if it was worth it to go into the summer program because I will be finishing high school this May and I was just wondering if it is better to wait for the fall or to get a head start.
I didn’t do the summer program so I don’t know much about it, if you have the money I would say go for it. But it’s really not necessary, it won’t give you any sort of head start with your actual classes but if you want the experience and have the money I would say go for it.
I did the summer program in 2017 and I had a ton of fun. You could also just start school in summer instead and get a head start! I audition this Sunday haha. If I get in I plan to start in summer.
something i have stood for while i was at AMDA and still do even after graduating is this AMDA IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT. AMDA will become a SCAM if you waste time, if you don't focus on your craft, don't take class seriously, party instead of doing hw, if you don't practice outside of class etc. not because amda scammed you, but because you scammed yourself. hope this answers your question
Hi! I have a question about the black leotards/dance dress code. Is it okay if I have an all black leotard with a color trim such as purple or white? Just along the neck and sleeves. Will they be okay with that? Thanks so much for your video!
Hey girl! sorry for making you wait so long for the video but I finally uploaded it here's the link :) please let me know if it was helpful to you! ruclips.net/video/JhRoGn7H1aY/видео.html
thank you, girl. i’m accepted to Musical theatre program and I’m wondering if there’s an option to take more dance classes with dance theatre students?
Sadly there aren’t. We have different schedules and classes theirs are more dance based our more acting and singing based we still do take dance classes just not as complex as they would. There is a hip hop extracurricular class that you can take if you would like but that’s about it.
Are there core classes? Were the auditions for acceptance hard? Are the shows high quality? Can theatre majors audition for musicals and can mt majors audition for plays? Did you go to the summer camp before applying? If so, how was it?
Sorry for the late response! But what do you mean by core classes ? The acceptance rate here is 21.8%. The showcases we have here are really good! I love watching them. The only chance you really have to perform on the stage in the NY campus is only in 4th semester when you do a musical showcase and a drama showcase. That’s unless you do school shows like cafe series which is a show in which people do anything they want in. No, I did not go to the summer camp.
If I’m only allowed to go to one college, do you think AMDAs a good idea? It looks amazing and I always wanted to go there but do they have any classes outside of musical theatre? Like history, math, English? I just wanted to know xxx
What have you packed so far? Just bring necessities. Remember that the summer program is just for a few months I believe not sure. So only bring things you’re sure you will need. If you have any other questions I’m here 💗💗
I chose AMDA because I was going to be studying in NYC, I had toured the school and I liked the environment the vibes seemed really great. Also, it was the only school I was interested in so I didn’t apply anywhere else lol. So when I got accepted I already knew I was gonna go here. Because even if I didn’t I had no back up school. DONT DO THAT THOUGH apply to other places ❤️
Thanks for the video, you helped me so much. I just got back to Maryland from a New York field trip for my theatre class and as soon as I saw "The Prom", "KIng Kong", and "Kiss Me Kate", I found out that I wanted to go to Broadway. On my trip to NY, we went to 2 workshops: Prom and King Kong. I love dancing but I will probably end up trying to major in musical theatre or acting. I just have one question. What did you do during the audition process and how was it? Thanks again, i prefer to message on Instagram @malmal2nw
For the audition I sang 32 bars of a song and then you do a 2 minute monologue from a published play. The audition is honestly so chill, the student workers are there guiding you! its a lot of fun! and its good to start early hope this helped
HEY ALL FUTURE VIEWERS OF THIS VIDEO! I HAVE UPLOADED A NEW AMDA VIDEO ANSWERING A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS! SO AFTER YOU WATCH THIS VIDEO GO WATCH THAT ONE BECAUSE THERES EVEN MORE INFORMATION THERE! ruclips.net/video/JhRoGn7H1aY/видео.html
Doesn't AMDA require their Musical Theatre students to learn to take piano lessons and classes in music theory? IMO, that's just competent musicianship. Ear training--a common music class--along with certain vocal exercises (e.g. flexibility exercises, such as stacattoed HAs on various intervals) are typically required when teaching sight-singing; so, I'd be interested to know how Sight Singing is taught without this training as a foundation? Those exercises are also GREAT when singing technically difficult songs, such as Sondheim. ;) Also, I had heard that one must re-audition in order to be accepted into the second year. Is this true, or perhaps it's been phased out? Either way I'm fairly certain that one had to be invited back to attend the second year. I'm also totes with you girl re: those white walls!
I don't know if that was requirement before but I was not required to take any piano lesson classes. we did have a music theory class but it was on reading music and memorizing different scales stuff like that. we didn''t have any ear training classes. You also don't have to re-audition for amda if you want to go to LA after having graduated from NYC you just go straight into it. hope that answered all of your questions! :)
@@KimDiaz Hmmm....I wonder why they've changed their policy requiring a student to either re-audition or be invited to the second year of study. If I could give you some advise: Learn to play the piano! In traditional music programs, regardless of what instruments one plays (even for singers), being relatively proficient at the piano is essential. :)

This video is the BEST AMDA informational video I have been able to find!! Thank you!
I’m so happy you found it useful! Thank you for watching💗

LeahJorden I just saw this! I definitely think it was worth it. It’s super intense but is just so fun.

Thank you for this video! I still do have a question. How did your audition process go?
Gurl, thank you so much, this video was very informative~~ I'm starting Summer semester in a few weeks and kinda freaking out!! I'm coming all the way from Taiwan so I wanna be as prepared as possible...
OMG THATS SO EXCITING!!! CANT WAIT TO HAVE YOU HERE! You’re gonna be fine don’t worry ❤️
how do you afford it hahha
Hi ! Loved the video. So I have some questions. I wanna go to AMDA like in a 3 years time, but I have tons of problems.

Do I need to know how to dance SUPER well? Like I obviously dance, but I don’t know tap or classic ballet (I am kind of afraid of ballet actually)
Thanks anyway ❤️
Also, what can a scholarship be based on? I had been a dancer on a pro team for six years. Do u think they’ll give me a scholarship?
Do you know if you do a summer camp in the summer could you get a scholarship for the 4 months by doing it and how much is it for the 4 semesters because I was thinking on going next year
Are you allowed to pick who you want to room with or do they assign. & should u purchase tap shoes, ballet shoes, etc. before you start school.
Hi was wondering if you could tell me do we have to stay on the campus the first year? I'm 16 and would love to know for the future
How much did you pay for the dorm 😭 I’m interested in going for the dorm summer semester of 2020
do you know how you can pay for it if you’re an international
student?? i really wanted to
go buy it’s like 100k it’s insane
After your audition how long did it take to here back from them to know if you get in or not?
I'm wondering about the differences between the LA and the NY dorms. Judging from the website, it looks like you're paying the same amount for the dorms in both campuses, but the LA ones have like their own kitchen and stuff ?? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Idk if u have any info on the LA campus haha. Just wondering bc I'm currently fixing my application now.
What is the daily schedule like at AMDA?
I went to AMDA in 2004. I had the worst mice problem in the strat. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Hii! Do they give piano classes too?
Hi Thank you so much for this video
Quick quesiton how can you pay for AMDA? I want to go there in 2 and 1/2 years but I dont know if I will be able to pay for it. Do you have any tips to pay for school?
I would say start applying for scholarships early, apply for all the one that you can. What I did was that I took out a loan! But you have so much time before coming here so I would apply for tons of scholarships
Some doubles have a half sized fridge
May I know how much total expenses (incldng Tuition, room etc) my mom still hesitating the expenses hehe
This has been the most helpful video for AMDA students! I'm an international student coming in June 2019 and I'm really excited but also really nervous! I am more interested in the cooking topic so how do you suggest is the best way to do meal prep?
Meal prepping will depend on what your scheadule is like when you get here. But it can be done and i recommend it 100% percent because it keeps you from wasting money (nyc is really expensive) you are coming for the summer semester which is when the school has the least amount of people in it because most people take the summer, so lucky for you the kitchen will be mostly empty
@@KimDiaz aww yeeh😂, thank you so much! I can't wait to meet you too!
how are you affording it as an international student
How is it so far?😁 I'm also an international student attending in spring?
thank you so much for this video ♥️🙏🏾🙌🏾 I love it it’s really helpful definitely you should do a part 2 please
How much do you pay ? Did they give you some Scholarship ?
Everyone gets a different amount on how much their tuition is, I did get a scholarship.
this might be a weird question but what do you think about the people and the general vibe there? would you say everyone is really friendly or hyper competitive? is it more lively and fun or is everyone there to work and get ahead?
There are all kinds of people everywhere you go, I made sure that I always did my best to surround myself with good people. I never really noticed competitiveness because you aren't really competing with your classmates in class you are all learning together, I don't know if im making sense haha hope this was helpful!
Can you sing your classical piece and post it on your channel? Also, what songs are you working on?
We sing musical theater songs. Right now I’m working on songs from the 60s and before. Currently doing if I were a bell from guys and dolls :))

@@ZaharaGamez I heard there could be more grants and scholarships available. Would it be cheaper to do the summer program? That is my largest concern
After your two years at the New York campus are you going to transfer to the LA campus? If not what do you plan on doing after your two years?
I don’t plan on transferring to LA . I want to stay in NYC get an apartment and with the help of god book a job. And start my career!!
Hi, when you say “rent” a studio, do you mean that you have to pay for them?
No it’s free by rent I meant like rent the room out for the time you want it
is this about nyc or LA?
quick question would you recommend AMDA and what is your opinion on all the hate it gets such as SCAMDA
something i have stood for while i was at AMDA and still do even after graduating is this AMDA IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT. AMDA will become a SCAM if you waste time, if you don't focus on your craft, don't take class seriously, party instead of doing hw, if you don't practice outside of class etc. not because amda scammed you, but because you scammed yourself. hope this answers your question
Hi! I have a question about the black leotards/dance dress code. Is it okay if I have an all black leotard with a color trim such as purple or white? Just along the neck and sleeves. Will they be okay with that? Thanks so much for your video!
Zoe Roberts hey love, I’m making a whole video answering all of these questions! It will be posted this week so keep a look out 💛
Hey girl! sorry for making you wait so long for the video but I finally uploaded it here's the link :) please let me know if it was helpful to you! ruclips.net/video/JhRoGn7H1aY/видео.html
Can this also help with the Dancing Theatre section?
I’m not sure of what you’re asking about
thank you, girl. i’m accepted to Musical theatre program and I’m wondering if there’s an option to take more dance classes with dance theatre students?
Sadly there aren’t. We have different schedules and classes theirs are more dance based our more acting and singing based we still do take dance classes just not as complex as they would. There is a hip hop extracurricular class that you can take if you would like but that’s about it.
Thank you! I would love to take that class! how often are dance classes?
Integrated students take tap, jazz, ballet and theater dance. So that would be 4 different days of dance classes. The hip hop elective is ones a week.
What happened to your hand?
Are there core classes?
Were the auditions for acceptance hard?
Are the shows high quality?
Can theatre majors audition for musicals and can mt majors audition for plays?
Did you go to the summer camp before applying? If so, how was it?
Sorry for the late response! But what do you mean by core classes ? The acceptance rate here is 21.8%. The showcases we have here are really good! I love watching them.

If I’m only allowed to go to one college, do you think AMDAs a good idea? It looks amazing and I always wanted to go there but do they have any classes outside of musical theatre? Like history, math, English? I just wanted to know xxx
Yes you would have to take your general Ed which is English Math etc.
We don’t take general Ed classes here in the NY campus. I don’t know if that’s different for LA though.
I’m going to the high school conservatory next month! I’m worried about over packing and not having everything I need any tips!
What have you packed so far? Just bring necessities. Remember that the summer program is just for a few months I believe not sure. So only bring things you’re sure you will need. If you have any other questions I’m here 💗💗
Kimberly Diaz is there anyway to contact you like through insta dm
Yes, ofc. My IG Is @itskimdiaz
tuition ?
Do you work while going to AMDA
i worked as an usher for the school showcases. they have many other jobs as well :)
You probably won’t respond, but why did you choose amda? I am currently considering Amda over other schools so i would love your input.
I chose AMDA because I was going to be studying in NYC, I had toured the school and I liked the environment the vibes seemed really great. Also, it was the only school I was interested in so I didn’t apply anywhere else lol. So when I got accepted I already knew I was gonna go here. Because even if I didn’t I had no back up school. DONT DO THAT THOUGH apply to other places ❤️
@@KimDiaz Thank you so much!
What are you studying for?
I’m a musical theater major.
Thanks for the video, you helped me so much. I just got back to Maryland from a New York field trip for my theatre class and as soon as I saw "The Prom", "KIng Kong", and "Kiss Me Kate", I found out that I wanted to go to Broadway.

Young Mal did you apply? I’m from Maryland too
Do you find the tuition easy to pay ?
Definitely not 😂😂
Oh god 😂😂😂 I start this summer
