Where can I study acting?

Where can i go to for college to study acting, dancing, and singing?

• I want to go to college in four years when i graduate high school. I want to either sing, dance, or act. I really don't care as long as I'm entertaining. Can u suggest any schools I could possibly go to? And when I say dance I don't mean ballet. I mean modern dancing. And I don't want to be behind the scenes, I want to be in front of the camera. I'm trying to plan for the future so help!!!!

• Answer:

  Do a search for colleges with performing arts departments--many large colleges, including state schools, will have them (and not all that many colleges have ballet--if you want to be a ballet dancer you generally go to ballet school or get admitted to one of the ballet companies that usually hold ballet classes). However, you may also need to augment your college classes with classes you pay for--like singing/voice, acting and ballet lessons (because some auditions require ballet steps and they won't teach them to you there on the spot, you'll have to already know how to do them). What you learn in college performing arts probably won't be enough; and even after you graduate from college you will constantly need to take lessons.
