"I got into a program that this time last year I wouldn't have even dreamed about going to!"
I had no clue what I was getting myself into at the beginning of this process and I truly and honestly could not have made it where I am without everyone in the BVC Aspire group.
I grew so much in this program as a person and as a performer and I am more than grateful for the time put in.

"I got into my top choice program, with a scholarship!
The Aspire coaches were so supportive with everything from finding repertoire to proofreading essays to choosing prescreen outfits, and they made this stressful time feel so much more approachable and enjoyable.
I really felt proud of all the materials I submitted and was able to present my best self in the audition room. Which wouldn’t have been possible without Aspire!"

"Before Aspire, we were not sure what direction to take, and felt overwhelmed! Now, I feel calm, relieved and grateful for our Aspire experience.
The support, honesty, and creativity go above and beyond.
The team is outstanding with all their knowledge and expertise, but I loved getting to know them and all their personalities. They make you feel comfortable and validated."
Michelle Hunwick
BVC Aspire Parent in Michigan
"Nothing could have prepared me for how crazy the journey is when you are auditioning for college musical theatre programs. I owe everything to the Aspire team. They simplified a very complex process, and I felt very well-prepared for prescreens and my in-person auditions.
I got into my top choice program—my dream school—and I could not have done it without their support, wisdom, and guidance. Thank you, BVC Aspire!!"
Mackenzie Crawford
University of Michigan Musical Theatre class of 2028
"Before BVC Aspire, I was confused and uncertain of the complexity of the college application process and how best to support my child on this journey. During his time with Aspire, my child was surrounded by uplifting and supportive people who made sure he presented the best of himself.
In the program, not one minute of time was wasted. Every meeting, every lesson, every panel began and ended on time, and were all packed with constructive and positive information."
Tamara Moore
BVC Aspire Parent in North Carolina
As a non-performer, I didn't know how to counsel my child about the process of applying for a BFA in MT. Having the Aspire team coach my student through the pre-screen process was invaluable to me. Aspire provided all of the guidance my student needed to complete the process on her own with their help.
The Aspire timeline worked terrifically well to get my student ready to submit applications and pre-screens early in the season, allowing her to have as stress-free a Senior Year fall as possible!
