Testimonials

Andrea and Brendan Heddle

Parents of Aidan Heddle
Otterbein MT '27


“We want to thank you so much for helping to shape Aidan’s journey when it mattered most – Aidan is inexplicably happy with his Otterbein commitment. Otterbein was truly like finding a diamond in a sea of gems. Without all of you, we would know next to nothing about that program and it turned out to be not only Aidan’s most gratifying audition, but the absolute best fit for him. We couldn’t be more thrilled. As we say all the time, “we wished we found MTCA sooner,” the time we did spend with all of you was so rich and so memorable. Thank you for making it all worth it and for all the laughs and loving support along the path.
When our friends talk about their kids prepping for MT or acting programs, MTCA comes flying out of our mouths faster than they can finish their sentence!”

“Where do I start? Going into the pandemic I knew I wanted to be an actor and at the time I had actually given up on musical theater because I thought I wasn’t very good at it. And that’s when I started taking dance classes and song lessons! Those classes and workshops that I was able to take at MTCA changed the way I saw myself in regards to musical theater. My song coach John-Michael not only pushed me to sing every song I auditioned with from a place of truth, he also taught me how to connect over a zoom screen which was really needed this year!

Anyways, fast forward to the callback weekend at Juilliard and that was the weekend I fell in love with Juilliard. On the 2nd to last day at Juilliard I found out I got accepted as a BFA musical theater major at Carnegie Mellon. Made my decision a lot harder. Then about a week after the callback weekend at Juilliard, I get a call from New York and I answer it “welcome to group 55”. I think in that moment I forgot what was real. MTCA and my coaches and mentors there have really seen me go from Texas State to Carnegie Mellon and then finally land at my perfect school, The Juilliard School. All of them so different and special in their own ways, but MTCA helped me the whole way through and I am forever grateful.”

“It can be challenging for students auditioning for college Musical Theatre Programs to balance their preparation while maintaining their own authenticity. MTCA coaches are able to help in all areas of audition preparation including choice of appropriate material, proper vocal technique and mock dance calls allowing each student to present their best unique self in every audition. MTCA students are always well-prepared, confident, and ready to share their best selves in the audition room; it is always a joy to see them.”
