The Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston-Austin Locals are offering our members a FREE live online Tom Todoroff masterclass workshop on Thursday, April 11, 6-9 p.m. CT. In this class, instruction is done by way of demonstration. So attendees may volunteer to perform a 1-2 minute monologue and receive personalized coaching in front of the group. Tom will coach several actors on their prepared pieces to demonstrate how to use Guideposts, Viewpoints, Vocal Variation and The Four Agreements to craft the most dynamic, compelling performance possible.

Attendees are also welcome to observe only. Time Allowing, Tom will answer questions from the group at the end.  

In this class, you'll learn about a clear, practical set of tools for text analysis and rehearsal that will allow you to feel relaxed, grounded and confident for every performance. This is also an opportunity to gain valuable insights into the film, tv and theater industry. RSVP today to save your place!
