Tom is unparalleled in his ability to work with actors of all levels and transform them into powerful, dynamic and moving performers. Tom's students range from highly accomplished professionals on Broadway, Film and TV to passionate hobbyists who are just beginning to explore the world of acting, public speaking and storytelling.

Testimonials:
"This workshop isn't just about acting - it's about life and how our responsibility to ourselves and to our craft are eternally intertwined. "To Thine Own Self Be True". If we can face our life with truth, humor and passion, our acting will follow."

"Anyone interested in fast-forwarding their career must attend this online acting class. It will guide them to understanding themselves and the business."
Jagruti P.

"I was shy at first - English is not my first language. But Tom is such an amazing teacher - so clear and direct! I learned so much and I'll be back next week!"
Mariana L.
Rio, Brazil
"I can say unequivocally the Saturday Workshop has been a lifesaver during this pandemic shut down. My whole week focuses on this class. I feel I have learned more about acting in these last five months than in my entire lifetime before and I am anxious to put the Guideposts and everything else in the Todoroff Technique into practice on stage, in film, and auditions for both."

Saturday Workshop Schedule:
Class meets once a week from 11:00am - 4:00pm Eastern Standard Time.
Make sure to check your time zone!
- We highly recommend signing on anytime between 10:00am and 10:45am EST to give yourself plenty of time to get connected and get settled before we dive into the work at 11:00am. (This is also the best time for the TT admin team to assist with any technical issues you may encounter)
- We will keep the online sign up link live up until 9:00am EST every Saturday morning. After that, the sign up window will end and the link will be taken down -- so make sure you sign up anytime before 9:00am the morning of the Saturday Workshop you plan to attend!
Join us for all or part of this session, as your time allows.
- We completely understand if you need to leave early or sign in and out throughout the day.
- Whenever possible though - stay for the entire workshop, because the learning is cumulative.
- Your personal and artistic growth correlates directly to the time and effort you devote to regular training (no surprise here)!
Class structure:
11:00 am - 11:30 am - Technique Review!
- TT Studio Director, Emily Moulton, will lead a weekly review of the Todoroff Acting Technique (highly recommended for newcomers and for returning students who need a refresher!)
- Students are welcome to log on at 11:30am if they're already familiar with the technique and therefore don't require this review session.
11:30 am - 12:30 pm - Guest Artist Voice & Speech Class or Q&A
- A Guest Artist from our faculty of accomplished actors, directors and voice & speech experts will lead the group in a Voice & Speech Class - or participate in a Q&A session with Tom on all aspects of the art and the business of acting.
12:30 pm - 4:00 pm - Coaching Time!
- Tom Todoroff will coach performers on material they've prepared and signed up to work on in class! All performers are expected to have completed these basic performer requirements completed before signing up to work in class so that they can benefit fully from the coaching session!
- If you prefer to observe, that's fine! Some say they learn just as much, if not more, from observing than from performing. In fact, we prefer you observe a few classes when you're new, before jumping in the performer pool. This allows you time to integrate our very specific technique at your own pace!
- We also frequently invite extraordinary Guest Artists to visit and teach a bit in the Saturday Workshop! Some of these artists are on faculty at our Conservatory in NYC - others are simply longtime friends and colleagues who've worked with Tom in theater or on film and TV productions in the past!
Sign up by or before 9:00 am EST the date of the class you wish to attend

IMPORTANT NOTE: Instruction in the workshop is done by way of demonstration.
Newcomers are expected to learn the technique, by observing at least two Saturday Workshop sessions, completing the reading books and studying the elements of the Todoroff Technique closely, prior signing up to perform in class.
By first learning the technique, and incorporating it into your rehearsal, you will reap the greatest benefits from your one-on-one coaching session with Tom! You will also develop a greater understanding of the technique and how to apply it to your auditions, rehearsals and performances in the future!
- Tom will coach several performers during each workshop - showing them (and all students in attendance) how to use this technique to make the most dynamic performance choices - every time.
- Tom will call on several performers in no particular order every Saturday - selecting from the list of people who've submitted a Performer Request Form.
- If you submitted a request to perform and you weren't called on the very next Saturday, your name will stay on the list until you are called on!
- Due to a high demand of Performers submitting a Request Form to work with Tom during the workshop - it's unlikely you will be called on the Saturday immediately after you submit the request. (FYI - to receive direct, one-on-one coaching from Tom on a weekly basis, please consider auditioning for the Conservatory program)
- Please know that whether or not you perform in any given Workshop - you will walk away with MANY notes and actionable advice for auditioning, rehearsing and performing that you can begin to apply NOW!
How to Perform in the Saturday Workshop:
- Sign up for the Saturday Workshop (either a specific date or the whole month)
- Complete the basic performer requirements
- Submit a Performer Request form (the link to this form will be in the Thank You message you receive upon signing up!)
Craft + Commitment = Confidence & Career:
While we love meeting new people who want to join us on a drop in basis, the real progress occurs through consistent, consecutive, cumulative sessions. As anyone with a background in dance, athletics, or music will tell you - practice, practice, practice in order to see progress. Training to be a confident, highly-skilled performer is no different. We all need a mentor and an artistic community of supportive collaborators to keep us on track - now more than ever! For this reason, we recommend enrolling in Saturday workshop on an ongoing basis.
