Please make sure you’ve examined this entire website and all tabs on this page thoroughly before applying.
Please contact us at (212) 362-8141 or conservatory@tomtodoroff.com with any and all questions during your application and audition process. We’re here to help! Please note: those of you who have never attended a TT studio class before will be contacted for a preliminary interview prior to your audition.
Admission is done on a rolling basis, so applying early is strongly recommended; once the limited class spots are filled, applicants will be applying for the wait-list.
To Apply: Click on the “Apply Now” tab in the upper left of this page and look for the purple button. Our online application platform allows you to keep all of your application and audition materials centralized. You can save your work and return to it as necessary.
To Audition: You have the opportunity to audition remotely via Skype, or in person. In person auditions may be scheduled at our New York City Studio, or you may enroll as a performer in an upcoming intensive and your work in that intensive will be considered your audition. The online application will prompt you to choose your audition location.
In-Person Auditions at our New York City Studio occur on an ongoing basis and typically take place on Wednesdays. Upon receipt of your application, a TT Team member will contact you to arrange your audition date and time.
What to Prepare: Prepare two contrasting monologues for your audition – one contemporary piece and one piece by Shakespeare (not to exceed 90 seconds each). Please learn these monologues so you are off-book and performance ready!
Your choice of material speaks before you do. With this in mind, please avoid material that is overdone. Need further guidance on selecting material? Call or email us!
Love takes and makes time. Take the time to find material that you love and that reveals your true self!
Callback Process: Callbacks for NYC Studio auditions may occur in person the same day of the first audition, or via Skype within two weeks of the first audition. Callbacks for Skype auditions may occur within two weeks of the first audition. Callbacks for auditions performed at an intensive may occur remotely (via Skype) within two weeks of the intensive.
Please note: Callbacks are neither positive nor negative, they simply allow us the opportunity, if necessary, to get to know you better!
International Actors: Remember to request our M-1 Student Visa Requirements via email by writing to ISVP@TomTodoroff.com. International actors who are accepted into the Conservatory will be issued our International Student Visa Program Application.
