"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
