Quotes from this masterclass:

“I just wanted to say a quick thank-you for the masterclass. You made the entire experience so challenging, yet also enjoyable and personally expansive. The information was invaluable and I am already putting it to work in my life/career goals.”

 

“It’s a fine thing to make an instant impression upon people but another thing entirely when it continues to inspire and motivate those you’ve touched. This is indeed what you have done for ED5 and what I now think we can call the “Todd Schroeder effect”. All the students that attended are now really thinking about their craft and how important it is to take control of it. You have a gift of making even the slightest glimmer of hope within ourselves flourish into a desire to succeed and own what we are doing, hence creating the often elusive ‘confidence’ we as performers and artists need. THANK YOU.”

 

“I just wanted to extend my deepest gratitude to you as I believe from the few master classes I've had this has been the most educational and exciting one I've ever done. I actually went last week for an audition and was one of three of the 50 people who auditioned who got a call back on the day. I used the pieces you worked on me with in the prior week.”

 

“I found it amazing how MUCH there is to learn about this industry, but even more amazing was the amount that you covered in a single weekend.”

 

“I know I said it before but thank you again for the workshop. It's people like you who make this business the best one to work in. Your approach and insight was refreshing and UNBELIEVABLY helpful. I can't wait to get out there and start auditioning!”
