Im 23, i decided i want a career in musical theater, what should i do now??
First of all, pray. There are people you'll be competing against who were born and bred to do this, and have been going crazy doing it all their lives.
That being said, if you're going to go for it, don't hold anything back. Immerse yourself in it, take dance classes, voice lessons, do unpaid shows for experience and most importantly GET PROFESSIONAL HEAD SHOTS IN NYC. They are your single best selling tool, and the one that casting directors will use to gauge your seriousness.
Unless you have a whole lot of money, be prepared to wait on tables, because other jobs do not give you the flexibility to attend auditions at your will.
Good luck!!|||well it's never too late. but the more you sit and don't do anything the more your chances evaporate. so get a serious degree in theatre, start a few years of training and it you don't get hired you can always teach with a degree. but you have a lot of catching up to do, most start in their early teens.|||Sign up for acting classes, find a voice teacher and sign up for dance classes (jazz, tap and ballet).
Go ahead and start auditioning for community theatre productions. You don't need experience or even training, if you can already move well and have a good voice. Getting into the ensemble would be an excellent introduction.
Start doing research - go get a bunch on soundtracks form the library and listen to them. Go to as much theatre as you can. Be aware of the different era's and styles of musical theatre and the major composers.
