Hello,
I found this good article about drama schools and their MT training... something that got my attention was that according to the artistic director " I’m agog at how some of the younger generation are simply not able to sing a song written before 1960 without giving it a full pop riff. It seems to me that Mariah and Christina have a lot to answer for".
This article is from the UK but I still believe that US MT and UK MT have parallels, a lot of you will disagree with me but MT has been globalized so as MT education worldwide. Even those US Americans considering applying to UK MT Schools should consider this too.
Also it shows a certain reality on MT becasue the author says that " I suspect only certain drama school graduates will survive: those who are ready to come into the audition room willing to hear what is being sought in any given production and who are able to adapt and deliver that particular thing in 20 minutes or so. The readiness is all."
