ARTISTIC ADVISING
FOR PORTFOLIOS & AUDITIONS
Artistic Advising
Best Fit Education provides structured, personalized portfolio and audition advising for creative students applying to college. Whether you're preparing an audition, assembling a visual portfolio, or creating a short film, our hands-on guidance helps you navigate the development, selection and refinement of the creative materials needed for your college applications.
We are experts in both visual and performing arts fields—including instrumental and vocal music, composition, film, acting, theater design and production, dance, animation, illustration, graphic design, and fine art.
From selecting portfolio pieces to preparing for interviews and auditions, we help you showcase your individual creative voice and skillset with intention and clarity.
Artistic advising is available as part of our comprehensive college counseling programs or as a focused, ten-session standalone package.
