"Tom McSweeney's workshops were a huge learning ground for me. I was 15 when I did my first class with him and it certainly left its mark - his teachings became my basic foundation for approaching any scene. Tom has the ability to encourage and make you feel at ease, whilst pushing you to your limits, with a class dynamic that is always fun and inspiring. I will continue to use the tools he gave me back then and look forward to future learning experiences with him." |

"I had the good fortune of attending my first ever workshop with you in Melbourne on Saturday; its a rite of passage all actors talk about. I found it informative having the casting process de-mystified and it is refreshing to have a professional tell it to you like it is and a relief to have someone like Tom say dont try so hard and enjoy it. I will take your advice about not trying so hard for perfection and relax and enjoy the ride more. Thanks for the pearls of wisdom." |

"I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the in-depth analysis you offered on each script. It gave me fresh ideas for approaching and tackling a script on my own. I could recite EVERYTHING I learned from you, not only from the analysis but also from your general discussion of the industry.
Thank you for being so generous and imparting as much wisdom to us as you possibly could in such a short period of time. You will definitely see me in one of your Masterclasses in the future !" |

"I found your comments on keeping honesty in comedic situations to be incredibly valuable. The cold reading session was also a great experience and has given me new confidence in performing unfamiliar scripts." |

"Tom's knowledge and absolute love of the craft as well as his happy, helpful and truthful disposition makes the class both a laugh as well as a great learning experience." |
Scott Gardner

"Tom's ability to breakdown a script, analyse every little bit of it and think about the slightest emotional or physical details urges his students to think further, see further and eventually pick the best choice for a script. Tom's experience in this industry allows his students to get the best and most realistic input possible and an outlook of the hard work involved." |

"As a result of this class, I will walk away a more confident and better actor. I will also leave behind a lot of bad habits. Tom teaches you what you need to do to market yourself correctly and professionally in the acting business. " |

"Thank you for a very insightful workshop at TAFTA. Your direction and advice has been very valuable to me and I feel I learned a great deal from you in the short amount of time." |

"My mind has been opened, and I feel I have advanced heaps in the realm of acting. I feel that I actually know what I'm supposed to be looking for now when I'm preparing for roles. If only it could be a week-long class!" |
