Here's one thing I can tell you: Alot of people who don't go to college immediately after high school never go, despite their intentions of going back "someday". There are exceptions to the rule, of course, but those people I know that went back after a couple years had a strong sense of purpose in their lives that frankly impresses the hell out of me. I don't know you, so I don't know how strong you are in your ability to make a decision and stick by it, but think long and hard before you decide you'll just go to college "someday".
I would personally recommend you go to a school in L.A. or New York City and pursue your career on the side while you get a degree. You can get a degree in theatre or music if you really want to, or major in something else like business that would counterbalance your acting/singing skills and make you a true threat to the entertainment industry (if they're scared of you, they'll try like hell to get you on their side. Ask Robert Rodriguez).
Anyway, only you know if college is the best path for you. Just think long and hard before you "put it off for a year" because the statistics of that "year" ever coming are not in your favour.
go to college. or university, you'll get more money after you become something good =)
Yes, go to college and study your profession.
And focus on a minor in another field just in case your acting/singing career doesn't pan out.
You can do both. Go to college and keep practicing your singing. If singing/acting does not work out, you can fall back on your college education.
Also, college is great fun.
i think college, but if you really want to be a singer/actress, defer college for a year or 2 n see how it goes,
youll still have the option of going back if things dont work out
More people graduate from college than become actors /actresses. People with an education also tend to make more money or have jobs that they are happy with.
Why not pursue your dream by going to college and taking drama classes? Many acotrs and actresses started in such mundane ways.
no its a waste of time go out in the world and make some babies
You should definitely go to college. You can still pursue your dreams - in fact it might even be easier due to all the new acquaintances you'll make. Don't pigeon hole yourself into only one option.
It's a beautiful dream, but do you know how many people can sing and act??
Go to college and then after you graduate college, pursue your dreams of singing or acting. You need the safety of that degree. You can't depend on singing and acting. You need to pay your bills.
I think you should go to college then you can persue your dream and if something happens youll have something to fall back on.
i would it help pay for your family and you can get a great job!
yes
Yes
hmm tough decision. college gives lots of benefits while singing gives lots of gigs and cash. well i think if your really good and determined you should sing.
GO TO COLLEGE! I'm 36 and not finishing college is my biggest regret. I have a decent job but not a good career. And now that I am married and have kids it is VERY difficult to go back to school.
I think everyone not only should go, but need to go.
My dad put it well - college isn't just about a higher education, it's about learning to live life. You will gain skills you otherwise would not. You will learn social skills, how to be responsible for yourself, your health, your bills, and your belongings. I loved it for those reasons.
Further, today, a college education is what a high school education was 10+ years ago. Most well paying jobs will want to see that you went to college. You will be paid more in a job if you attended college, versus if you did not.
In college you can major in theater or vocal performance and train to become an actress/singer. You don't have to choose between the two. =)
Being a theater major gives you moderate exposure that you'd have a hard time finding on your own. More actors and actresses in Hollywood have attended college than those who have not.
They have performing ensembles in most colleges, and vocal programs that offer lessons and opportunities to showcase yourself to the public. Look for a school that has a good theater program, and a good music program, and it's really going to be worth your while.
You don't need to choose between a good education and persuing your dreams. Do both; intertwine the two. It's a win-win situation.
Plus, the college experience is really worthwhile. Trust me, you'll love it. You'll meet so many people who are interested in the same things you are, and you'll have a chance to perfect your craft and have a much better chance of succeeding and making your dreams come true.
=) You'll enjoy yourself and be thankful that you did, trust me.
Good luck!!
Some colleges have programs where you could major in theater or drama. Look at some of the colleges in your area and do your homework to see which ones have the best programs.
There is no reason you can not do both. There are colleges that are out there that specialize in Acting/Theater. College is now more important then ever. Even if you can not find one near to you that specialize in this you can at least start the core subjects there while still pursuing your dreams. Good luck
Well unless you're a VERY good singer/actress I think you should go to college. I think you should go to college anway because if your career as an actress/singer doesn't work out, college can bring way more opportunities. So unless you're REALLY sure you can pull this off, I would suggest college.
Definitely I would say go to college and study whatever subject comes close to your dream...there are so many options! And you want to be a educated smart singer/actress, right? It never hurts to go to college.
go to college, and sing in college. because you want your education , plus if you dont succeed in singing then you need something to fall back on. so go ahead with college and participate in groups at college in acting and singing and improve your talent that way.
I think that you should at least start at college. You can take some acting and singing classes and put you in touch with other people in the business. If you decide to finish school and get a degree, then you will always have that to fall back on if singing and acting doesn't work out or you decide to get out of it.
Go to college, so if being a singer/actress doesn't work, you have something to fall through on.
I'd incorporate one into the other if its really your passion. Plenty of people go to college in hopes of pursuing a career in acting.
You should go to college unless you have real talent and know people. Networking is critical. You can study theater in college. What do you want to do as a singer or actress? Where do you see yourself? What is your experience? You need to consider all of this and remember that singing/acting is highly competitive. Do you want to deal with the competition and stress? Are you prepared? How far are you willing to go? How strong are you? Will it make you happy? Would you be happy doing community theater? Where is your real passion? Would you be happy doing regional theater? Do you love literature and plays?
Well a good way to become a singer/actress is to go to a performing arts college. I want to be a singer so i know a lot about the subject.
watch x factor your going to college..
