The Neutral Masks are now out and have been tested at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts here in New York, NY. Good news is they are effective. One thing I have discovered about sculpting neutral masks is, it is an on going process. These Neutral Masks will be male and female Series #4 and I am continuing to sculpt the two neutral masks and will come out with neutral masks male and female Series #5 sometime in the near future. People who buy Series #4 and give me feedback on the masks will earn a free upgrade to Series #5 if they wish.

The Metaphysical Mask a unique actor training mask
developed by Carlo Mazzone-Clementi.

The Nutcracker Ballet Mask
made for the Joffery Ballet School Production
