"...the heart of Skylight Opera's Boheme was Colline, sung by young American bass-baritone Thomas Forde....it was clear that love for his friends is as central to Colline's character as acerbic wit...Judiciously building a career that has already garnered praise for the strength of his acting, the heart of Mr. Forde’s artistry is the pure tonal allure of his voice."

"They're known for their great bods and for breathless blogs written by devoted admirers... barihunks like Matthew Worth and Tom Forde are bringing high art to the masses in a universally appealing form."
"Nathan Gunn and other opera stars such as Matthew Worth and Tom Forde are even the subject of a blog, Barihunks, devoted to the sexiest baritone hunks from opera."
"Among the lusty young men, always with an eye out for the ladies, are Corporal Morales (played by Andrew Bawden) and Lieutenant Zuniga (played by Thomas Forde), both of whom are memorable for their voices and their acting." -Eleanor Tudor

"Judiciously building a career that has already garnered praise for the strength of his acting, the heart of Mr. Fordes artistry is the pure tonal allure of his voice. Possessing a veritable spectrum of colors that present a great wealth of dramatic possibilities that continues to broaden as his career progresses, Mr. Fordes voice is youthfully vibrant but also plush, suggesting opportunities in a wide-ranging repertoire. Hearing Mr. Fordes voice in Italian repertory, it is easy to imagine his voice in time bringing great eloquence to Verdis O tu, Palermo (I Vespri Siciliani) and Ella giammai mamò (Don Carlo)."
