I am a sophomore who loves musical theatre more than anything in the world and would love to pursue it professionally. However, I have not gotten roles since I did children's theatre in middle school. Since starting high school I have been cast solely as ensemble, although I did get a callback this year. I attend a large high school with a lot of favoritism that tends to cast upperclassmen, but a few very talented sohpomores have gotten cast. I am a soprano/mezzo-soprano who is developing a little bit of a belt, and my voice teacher believes that I would have a shot at getting into a BFA program (she agrees my school has favoritism), but I am unsure. Many of the people on CC seem to have gotten a lot of roles - some professional - and still only get admitted to a few colleges. Would it be stupid of me to pursue this as a career if I only had 2-3 roles (as well as several ensembles), or maybe even less than that on my resume by senior year? I love performing more than anything in the world and would be 100% willing to devote myself completely to long, hard rehearsals and the uncertainty of the profession, but am unsure if I would make the cut. I know that no one could give me an absolute answer but if anyone with more knowledge of the process could give me some advice or honest feedback as to what my chances are, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
