Todd A. Robinson - Acting Instructor
Todd has been mimicking sounds and voices since he was a toddler, entertaining his grandmother in Southern California. It was pretty clear early on that he was going to be in the entertainment industry. Drama, Film Studies, and English were his favorite subjects. In high school, Todd appeared in several school productions, as well as working professionally at the local dinner theatre.
After serving in the US Navy Submarine Force, Todd returned to the West Coast to pursue the rock star dream. After a few eventful years in a couple of bands, the acting bug bit him again. He worked on a comedy pilot in Los Angeles in 1997, and has been chasing that dream ever since. In that time, he has starred or played principal roles in dozens of short and feature-length independent films, as well as making some memorable appearances on network television.
Todd loves helping other actors discover their best work. He began his audition workshop in 2010, and ran it successfully in Portland for five years. After taking a couple of years off, he is back in the role of teacher -- offering an energetic and supportive, yet brutally honest, style that is sure to help actors cut through the nonsense and get to doing their best work.

Todd Robinson’s class is everything I would hope for and expect from an intensive scene study course: challenging, thought-provoking, extremely interesting and edifying. The bonus is that it’s extremely fun as well. I will definitely be joining other classes he offers in the future.
