Class Recap – In Person Mock Sessions with Andrea Toyias

We had another amazing mock session at Rebound Sound Studio with Andrea Toyias leading the charge! We’re truly having the greatest time working with new and old actors, of all different levels and backgrounds, and are so inspired by everyone’s hard work in the booth!

Thank you to Sean, Peter, and the whole Rebound Sound team for hosting our mock session last weekend!
