2025 at TDA: Momentum in Motion
2025 has been a year of nonstop momentum at TDA. From global bookings across commercial, film, television, and print, to a strong presence at industry panels, festivals, and meetings; our talent and team certainly stayed in the mix.

TDA Talent Committed to Growth
TDA actors continued refining their craft in highlighted workshops. At Get Scene Studios in Atlanta, Kris Redding guided cold reads, with Sabine Krausch providing insight. The Beyond the Audition workshop gave actors hands-on guidance from industry veterans on set dynamics and artistic techniques. Participants included Elena Rockwell, Paloma Couto, Roxana Frontini, Daniel Anderson, Elena Zavet, and Shawn Goolsby. Some of our TDA’ers also participated in Erin Elizabeth Burns (Ozark, Peacemaker, Cell…) led the workshop “How to Analyze a Script Without Analyzing It at All!”, where she introduced fresh, out-of-the-box techniques that helped actors stand out while strengthening their core craft. She also shared practical guidance on utilizing home studios, allowing talent to create professional-quality self-tapes at home and eliminating the need for paid tapings. These sessions reflect TDA talent’s dedication to continuous growth.
Who Went Where
2025 featured bookings in commercial, film, television, print, and global campaigns. Our talent worked internationally, including Sofia Colon and Anthony Akinrinmola in Puerto Rico, Gley Viera on a Caribbean cruise, and Emma Cuba in Aruba.
