What you'll learn in this acting class:

Two full days of personalized coaching for actors – for film, TV and theater – with Director / Producer / Acting Coach – Tom Todoroff

You will learn how to:

strengthen and find your true voice
seek your own good opinion
be a text detective
change the molecules in the room
have talent for your talent
think like a producer
be the acting “CEO” of your own corporation
dare us not to cast you
know when you’re ready to get an agent
be truly free by remaining unattached to the outcome
de-mystify the process and become an acting athlete
transform nervousness into intense excitement
act moment to moment and find the need for every line
harness the power of the outer casting office
be expressive rather than impressive
personalize a role and work from yourself
vanquish the unspoken pact

You will learn why:

the moment before can get you the job
there are no “characters” in your script
the words “random” and “whatever” are dangerous
two hundred and fifty is a magic number
your acting has little to do with why we cast you

Things to know:

All correspondence pertaining to the Intensive will be done by email. No phone calls please except in the case of a true emergency.
It is your responsibility to check your email regularly. If you have not heard back from us, please resend the email.
Please include your phone number and email address in all correspondence.

What to Expect:

All Performers receive a Syllabus upon acceptance. Please read the Syllabus fully and complete the three required reading books before the Intensive.
Performers prepare a 3-4 minute scene with a scene partner. Performers are also asked to have a 1-2 minute monologue in case Tom asks to see additional material or in case their scene partner is absent for any reason.
Choose a piece by one of the 250+ authors listed on our Syllabus. If you are committed to working on a piece by an author not on the syllabus, you must email us the script for review and approval at least four weeks in advance of the Intensive date.
Read the entire play and understand the play.
Appropriate dialect for the text. Please only work on a piece that requires a dialect if you are well-rehearsed and completely comfortable working in that dialect.
Wear appropriate clothes for the period.
If you have a scene partner, schedule rehearsals and honor the schedule!
Basic furniture (chairs and a table) will be provided by the theater.
Any additional props or furniture must be supplied by the actor. These must be taken home each night.
