Todd Kramer
grew up in Oceanside California on one of the best surfing beaches in the world. He moved to Los Angeles when he was 18 to attend Loyola Marymount University where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Theatre Arts (directing). LA is where a lot of his formative personal and professional experiences started but somehow even a city of 18 million people quickly became insufficiently interesting so, eventualy, he decided to move on. Modeling is what initially took him to Europe and kindled his interest in travel. Todd started to pursue a master’s in creative non-fiction writing and his initially went into travel writing. He travelled back to Europe and he wrote about his travels shortly after, he just ended up living in Prague. And shortly after that, he started working again in first love, the theatre.
In California, Todd had been a bartender, commercial fisherman, school teacher, dog trainer, children’s party entertainer, limousine driver, model, waiter, student and occasionally, an actor. Prague however, was easier somehow. The film industry was at its peak in those days. Many foreign production companies came and took advantage of some of the finest film production crews and facilities in the world (and all at Eastern European prices). Life in Europe represented a simpler approach to the entertainment industry and a better quality of life compared to what “Hollywood” had on offer. In Europe a person could work and live freely without the pressure and heaviness of life in America (which is an admittedly very un-American thing to say).
So, Todd stayed in Prague for a while. Long enough to learn Czech (which is a long time). He appeared on scores of times on stage, screen and in voice. Every job was engaging, every experience alluring. And it was in Prague that Todd Kramer paid his acting dues. Taking on a lot of roles in a variety of productions and honing his craft. While in Prague Todd also worked as an English teacher, cameraman, video editor, bar manager, proofreader, journalist, general manager in media, a video producer and even more often as an actor.
Now, Todd finds himself in London, long enough to become a British citizen (which is a long time) and this is where he will stay. With his wealth of experience, motivation and creativity Todd is certain to take on every opportunity with vigor. This website offers a glimpse into Todd Kramer’s years of professional work and his personal odyssees. Feel free to have a good ole’ root around.

Introduction to Improv
There’s No “I” in Improvisation
“Thanks for your course at the Actors Centre yesterday. I thought it was great and very informative and what I think made the session so good was your delivery which was full of enthusiasm whilst making a connection with all of us. I note that you have a great voice which was energised all the time…”
Silas Morrison
“I’ve just come back from Rome, what an amazing experience! I was in a scene with Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Williams and my lines were directed to her. Ridley Scott was super nice and put us actors at ease… Looking backwards to your workshop, I have to say that it definitely helped me. I was aware of everything that was happening on set, who was who and what their job was. Although I was very nervous, I felt confident on set and relaxed take after take. Your workshop was interesting and straight to the point. You are an engaging talker and your stories are never boring and stick in your head. Your tips, very valuable.”
Alex Marchi“I just wanted to thank you for putting on the ‘What to expect on the set’ workshop. I found it very insightful and it has cleared up a lot of questions I had about being on set. The handout is really helpful to glance back on and read through again and again. Also I really enjoyed meeting you and hearing your anecdotes; after all, you learn by doing it and listening to those gave me a little insight into the experience. So thank you.”

Todd is a connector of people and has grown to understand and recognize the benefits of building relationships that foster care and concern. Todd has tried (and sometimes failed) various endevours and along the way he has learned a great deal about what people need to feel happy. His passion is in disseminatating his method for this kind of connection. Combining years of study in connection and life experience with his performance training all cuminae into a training that can be used to bring unity and connection to every environment and all of that translates into his coaching work.
This transformational coaching comes in the form of a method called “The Middle Line” developed as a means to connect people and overcome all differences. Todd has been studying for over a decade towards the development of this method and it is his mission to bring a means of unifiying all people together under a common recognition of the immediate necesity to come into care and concern for each other. The answers we seek must come from a place of balance. No more extremes from right or wrong, pro or con but rather, we must connect together on the middle line.
