It is time to announce a new five-week workshop series! I have some time between projects on Thursday nights from May 16 - June 13. This workshop will run much like they have recently, with a focus on the audition process and guest professionals offering invaluable information to the actors.

Total cost is $185, with a $75 non-refundable deposit due to reserve a spot. Payments can be made via the PayPal button in the upper right of the blog page, or email me at toddrobinsonpdx@gmail.com to arrange other payment options. The workshop will be limited to the first 10-12 actors that pay a deposit, so reserve your spot now!

"If you want real world practical advice from a 'work-your-fingers-to-the-bone-actor', he is your man. No one works harder or wants it more than Todd Robinson" - writer/director Todd E. Freeman

"Todd helped me shape my monologues for my PATA audition and it made all the difference in the world :) Thanks to that session, I've gotten quite a few callbacks! Todd gives the one on one attention that you need in a session like that - take him up on it!" - actress Kristi Bogart
