Toms team provided an excellent learning experience and I look forward to taking more classes with him and them. The technique review was concise and to the point. The voice work was from one one of the worlds most expert and provided techniques fundamental to actor training. Toms insights and perspective indicated ample support and a high standard for the students to reach for. His sense of humor, teaching and presentation skills were icing on the cake.

Learning in a VERY controlled environment, an almost cult-like atmosphere. You will notice distance growing between you and your family/home base and it is encouraged under a veil of necessity, especially if you have an accent or speech impairment, he will use this against you to convince you not to speak to your family. You will definitely be made to feel you are in the wrong if you ever disagree with Tom. I was in the first year, so maybe he has learnt some valuable lessons along the way. You will be charged random fees for being late, missing a class or if they decide they want to charge for studio time. Save your money and get real education that doesnt come with a side of trauma.

Best acting (and life) training imaginable. I learned more in one day with Tom than I ever learned in a University semester. Core principles to guide the actor which overflow into life in general. Im a stronger actor AND human thanks to this class.

If you are serious about acting and you are willing to do the work, then this is where you need to be! Youll get the tools, the guidance, the love and support of a great community. The rest is up to you! Such an empowering gift for storytellers (actors, singers, dancers, comedians, writers, etc.) working in any medium!!!I first met Tom in Montreal in Dec 2007 and was blown away to finally meet a coach who actually offered tools for the training that actually made sense! I watched everyones work become truthful INSTANTLY as they worked on their material and took in his coaching. What an experience!Today, Tom has surrounded himself with the best of the best. The faculty members are not only passionate and dedicated, but they are always so generous to share the love of their craft.If you are truly serious about being the best story teller you can be then Tom is your guy!! And the TT Studio is where you need to be!!

To study at the Tom Todoroff Studio is to take a leap of faith in your career, to stay out of your own way and really dig in into your true potential. Tom has an impressive gift and the technique allows a performer to follow a very specific path in order to create unforgettable performances.Tessie Herrasti

Have absolutely enjoyed the first free class with Tom and all the great staff and students from the Todoroff Studio. Seeing Tom in action, directing the scenes and sharing his insights and experience was a privilege and an opportunity to grasp and learn so much, even though I was not actually working on a scene. Indeed, you sometimes learn more just by watching. Looking forward to signing up for classes with them, thanking them for the availability and wishing them all the best.

There is no better place to get a well rounded training in the performing arts than here. Whether you are just beginning or are a professional, you will definitely get more than you ever expected. Not only for your craft but also for your whole life. Tom has the highest work ethics and the people who are on his team are all top-notch.He has a keen eye for what is needed to improve a scene or performance.With his method, his psychological insights, his amazing experience and humor he will challenge you and lovingly kick your butt to get the best out of you, so you can reach your highest potential and become a working actor.

This was such a treasure to find, and I am so excited how international the community is. Being on the west coast was a challenge of self discipline, because its a very early morning for a Saturday. But if you want to get better, you HAVE to do the WORK. Show up, do the work, and be better than you were yesterday. So much to learn and grow from! Tom is fantastic!

I audited Toms workshop before in Toronto and having this opportunity to attend this fantastic workshops added more very informative acting coaching which Tom can only provide with his vast knowledge and expertise in analysing the structure of the scene and how actors should learn and take bold choices.

That was very lovely. At first I thought, wow, this guy is intense (not sure how to feel about it); but then as I watched and listened and saw the transformation of the students, at the high level that occurred, with so many styles of work worked with, with pin-pointed instruction, I am so impressed and grateful to have been there! The students where talented and kind, and his instruction was helpful and accurate. Thank you! Emily, who opened class also was very lovely. What a cheerful and comforting personality!

For someone like myself who went to acting school a while ago but who was looking for that regular fellowship with my community to keep my craft sharp and alive, this is it. I took the first free Saturday session and Ill be back for sure. The work that Tom is doing here is the real deal. Hes a student of truth. Hes an actors best asset and someone who knows the artform inside and out. See you soon TT Studio.

Review №24

A working actor since childhood, I studied with some great teachers in Los Angeles before relocating to Austin where most of my auditions are on tape or now live zoom. Tom held a one-day workshop in Austin several years back, and he literally changed the molecules in the room. Thereafter as the Local President of SAG-AFTRA and Chair of the Austin Actors Conservatory, I invited him to do similar classes for our actors. This summer I was invited (and actually with the pandemic now have had time) to attend Toms Saturday sessions via zoom, being introduced to his acting techniques that mirror those of some my teachers, Stella Adler, Lee Strasberg, Susan Anspach, Joseph Bernard. I cant tell you how much Ive learned in such a short period of time and now applying these techniques to my craft, which oddly enough are taking me back to my roots on the stage. Hopefully, when things open up again, well all be able to meet in person again.

Review №26

I got a kick out of the two Southern women bickering dialogue. But it had me wondering if these ladies were in separate hotel rooms because the curtains behind them looked identical. I loved Dianas first musical number. Very impressive because doing a broadway/opera song isnt that easy to do during a Actors workshop. Emanuels monologue was devilled ham at its best. Good to watch some of Toms students perform. I certainly wasnt judgemental with what I saw. It should give me that much greater focus when it comes to attending my regular instructors online sessions. A pity we didnt get to say Hi to each other online. Oh well. I can respect ones busy schedule. Thank you for inviting me to watch. It made up for last Augusts disastrous attempt to be part of the class. Look forward to the post workshop appointment this Monday. Oh by the way. The exercises before class made up for a sleepless night I had last night. They helped to wake me up so I can witness some talent.

Tom is an amazingly gifted teacher and coach. I am a professional musician and yet, I am gaining such deep insight into my art and about my life in his classes that I believe only he can offer. Tom is a living example of a person who has carefully forged his craft and followed his heart into the profession he loves. It is clear that his wisdom, passion and kindness authentically helps us to find our true path and joyous self.Recommended for all humans!

One of the worst conservatories in New York. Talk to any of the many dropouts to make sure that you have the full picture! Tom and Emily are only helpful and nice up until youre locked into the contract they have you sign.Look elsewhere if you actually want to pursue a career in acting.

Review №30

If you are an experienced actor or an actor just beginning, the Tom Todoroff Studio classes are more than worth the money invested(which is about $4 per hour). Tom uses a system primarily based on the Michael Shurtleff book for Auditioning. The core of the training are the Guideposts. If you just read the book you may get it. If you read the book and take a couple classes you may get it. Actually, you never get it! But you learn about commitment and craft. And you learn that there is a blueprint/plan to follow. Which is more than you get from most acting classes.

Having been successful as a model in NYC, Chicago, Paris, London, Milan and while also doing commercials in those cities, I worked with extraordinary people.... Tom TODOROFF is someone every person on earth should study with.....not just actors. He will teach you how to do life on a higher level. He will ignite your heart, gut, mind, body and imagination and introduce you to yourself. He is a Master, creatively, and you will begin to crave and create spontaneity and laughter, and the unfamiliar or unknown. He makes you fearless.

Fantastic Intensive. Tom is such a multifaceted individual, positive, intelligent, and backs it up with experience and stories to put the cherry on the cake.

Review №44

I have a degree in theatre but learned more from Toms two-day intensive than I did during my four years of school. He will show you exactly what you need to succeed as an actor. Toms ability to help an actor transform a performance from unremarkable to outstanding may look like magic, but he is no magician. He will give you the tools you need and if you are willing to put them to use and do the work you will succeed. Do not pass up the opportunity to learn from Tom.

The lessons learned during this intensive boosted my expertise as a public speaker and trainer of business leaders and underscore the tenets of great oratory. Toms teaching techniques are electrifying, unforgettable and filled with fascinating anecdotes from his storied career. I recommend this program to actors and public speakers alike. Overall, the two days were quality time spent in great company.

I am an entrepreneur, not an actor, and I got tremendous value out of the 2-day intensive training. I was hoping to learn things that would help me in story telling and public speaking. I was blown away by how amazing the content was and will be attending many more of these events.

A truly transformative weekend! I am a film director and came in to observe the class based on an actor friends recommendation. Not only did I learn - in reel time - how a performance can come alive through discovering the strongest choices through rehearsing, but I also received powerful reminders to fight against the gravity that can keep me in bed many mornings and the complacency that can keep me from realizing my own success. The class was therapy, training, and motivation all in one! Highly recommend and will do it again!

An experience with Tom Todoroff is an experience of becoming. You hear it, you feel it, and you see it. Not only is he a great coach of the craft and business, hes also a great coach of life. Which I believe is one of the most important aspects of becoming. After all, what is acting? :)

Review №52

Ive been back to Acting for the past 14 years and have this to say about The Todoroff Team and what theyve got going. They are doing an excellent job with their Saturday Workshop class: - with the thorough, clear & concise fundamentals review (the 15 Guideposts we must ALL remember ALWAYS) by Exec.Dir. Emily Moulton to start off the 5 hour class (truly stellar job Emily), to inviting some top industry voice & dialect coaches to learn how to properly warm up our instruments; then Tom T weighs in with individuals who have chosen a scene to perform - and offers some insightful, caring, useful and compelling perspectives on how to make it better. BRAVONote: The ONLY reason for the 4.5 is that its impossible, (albeit understandable with 150+ participants) to get enough airtime with Tom! ... guess I gotta go to NY.NY. :-). Bottom Line: Im LOVING going to the gym with Tom & Emily & Gang, and am getting a ton out of it.BRAVO . With love, DrummondDrummondMacdougall.com

This workshop with Tom has been the greatest experience I have ever have in my entire career. I saw, “with this very eyes of mine” the transformation of an ok performance to an outstanding one in minutes, just with a few inputs of Tom. There were so many ”WAO” moments that I am still at home processing this great gift I gave to myself by attending this event. I don’t know how I am going to do it, playing the lottery everyday, selling my apartment, working hard for two years to save enough money to register for his conservatory, but I am going. I life changing experience, at all levels. Thank you Tom

The personal growth Ive experienced with Tom and the rest of the faculty in the TT Conservatory is unparalleled.

Thank you - in particular - to Tom, Miriam, Patrick and Jeremiah - for your compassion, your honesty, your humor... for insisting I always go deeper and find the truth... and for never allowing me to settle for anything less than my personal best.

Review №71

My experience at Tom Todoroff’s Master Class in 2018 is what led me to sign up to attend his NYC Summer Intensive last June. It was a life-changing and empowering experience! And that is not because I fell and broke my leg and had to have surgery in New York to insert a rod and three screws to stabilize my femur so it could heal, which I have been doing for the six months since my accident!One would think that could put me off of acting all together—-I was pursuing acting and literally “broke a leg”! But I was so impressed and excited and inspired by what I learned, both in Tom’s Master Class and in the NYC Intensive that, this week, one of the first I have been upright and mobile, on a cane instead of crutches, I HAD to attend this class, I also intend to return to the NYC Summer Intensive this coming summer!I was fortunate to be one of the two students this past Saturday who was chosen to deliver a monologue in front of the class. I received some very intense coaching in the process and went from speaking words I had memorized and trying to express the emotions I felt were called for to play the character for which they were written, to feeling the words as if I were speaking them myself for the first time. Instead of playing the scene, the scene was playing me. It felt real, authentic, personal.I can’t wait to spend another week in New York and continue to pursue this amazing craft of acting. Thank you, Tom and Emily, for all you have brought to my life!

Tom Todoroffs workshop is a transformative experience. He is a gifted, passionate teacher who gets to the heart of an acting piece and helps the student reveal the heart of their character, the relationship, the love, the humor, the conflict, and so much more. He just turned on a light for me. Im so excited about what Ive learned. His life lessons and stories from his many years in the business gave me new insight, plus tools that enhance my confidence and knowledge to make acting choices in auditions and in performance.

Review №76

Working with Tom is a transformative experience and I highly recommend it to anyone pursuing a career in tv/film/theatre. Tom is a consummate professional with years of top level experience which allows him to diagnose & direct actors to remarkable improvement in a short amount of time. I have audited a few times and just completed a weekend intensive as a performer feeling more inspired, driven and focused than ever before. Toms ability to redirect a subpar performance into a bookable one is remarkable and a thing of beauty to watch. He also teaches from a very clear/organized framework, which when learned and followed allows us to self diagnose and make top level choices ourselves rather than being fully dependant on his direction. Ill definitely be back to the next intensive and look forward to absorbing more of his wisdom and knowledge. Any dollar invested into training with Tom is well worth it and I have no doubt will get a massive return in investment for any student who does the work and commits. Love takes time and love makes time. Thanks Tom.
