What We Can Offer You
-
College Selection
With hundreds of musical theatre and acting college programs available, we listen carefully to what is most important to you and use our expertise to cultivate a comprehensive list of personalized recommendations.
-
Monologue Preparation
After a series of individualized questions in our initial consultation we will put together a package of monologues for your review. This will encompass all of the material needed for your pre-screens and auditions. Our coaches will work closely with you to make your performance pre-screen and audition-ready.
-
Song Preparation
After a series of individualized questions in our initial consultation we will put together a package of songs for your review. Our repertoire coaches will help you choose songs to match your personality and style to meet the needs for pre-screens and auditions, plus additional songs for your “book.” We will help find the right cuts and work closely with you to make your performance pre-screen and audition-ready.
-
Dance Preparation
Our choreographers are experts in what colleges are looking for and work with you to create customized pieces for your pre-screens. In addition, they will be able to assist you in learning pre-choreographed material provided by the schools. They choreograph for every level - so whether you’re a mover or a dancer, we have you covered.
-
Vocal Coaching
If you already have a vocal coach, we work closely with them in selecting and preparing your material. If not, ACTAbove has relationships with vocal coaches in the PA, NJ, and NY area and will recommend a coach that will fit your needs.

College Essays
Don’t let the volume of essays required throughout the application process overwhelm you. We will help guide you in writing your common app essay as well as any and all supplemental essays. We will support you in the process - as much or as little as you need.
-
Consulting
We work closely with you throughout the entire college audition process from the initial consultation until you make your final decision. Your needs are unique, so we provide as much help as you need. You can text, email, or call us at any point with any questions. We actively stay up to date on the ever-changing landscape of the college audition process so we can keep you informed.

Spreadsheet & Logistics
One of the services that makes us special is our college tracker. It can be challenging to keep track of all the applications, pre-screens, auditions, and deadlines. Plus, trying to fit in all your auditions into a short timeframe can be very difficult and expensive. Your customized Tracking Spreadsheet contains everything you need to help stay on top of the process. We even recommend audition dates and times to put you in the best position to succeed.
