Consultation Sessions
The College Audition Process comes with lots of twists and turns — your MCA Consultant is here to help every step of the way!
Consultation sessions can be scheduled at ANY time. Students like to schedule these sessions for assistance with: college list edits, mapping a personal prep timeline, application questions, headshot selection, resume updates, prescreen filming/selection/submissions, audition scheduling, Unifieds questions, pro/con sessions for final decisions, general advice, and more!
Before a Consultation Session:
Have your Google Drive Folder pulled up and open to your Master Spreadsheet. Please make any updates if needed! This is the best shared resource for you and your Consultant to chart progress, stay organized, and keep your personalized process on track!
Please bring a list of any questions!
Number Of Consultation Sessions:
Minimum of 3 hours (included in your MCA Membership), scheduled throughout the process as needed.
The amount of Consultation time needed can vary greatly from student to student!
We recommend bi-/monthly Consultation Brush Ups (25 min) from March of Junior year through May of Senior year.
Scheduling Consultations:
We strongly encourage scheduling Consultation sessions well in advance! Consultation times are limited, especially during peak season as we navigate Prescreen deadlines, Early Auditions, + Regular Auditions/Unifieds. These important deadlines apply to ALL MCA students, and your Consultant may not be able to accommodate last minute requests for sessions. Please book early + reschedule for a later date if needed (sessions must be rescheduled 24 hours prior to the start of your session).
Consultation Sessions vs Emails:
Not every question requires a Consultation session! For quick and/or time sensitive questions, you are welcome to email your Consultant!
If you have multiple questions and/or your question requires a bit of a chat, please schedule a Consultation session.
