Female Neutral Training maskThe Neutral Masks are now out and have been tested at the American Academy Male Neutral Theatre Training maskof 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.
