A Recent Testimonial

 

May 2024

"As many of you know, when I travel, I like to find local acting teachers and studios to take drop-in coaching sessions from so I can always work on my craft, even when I’m traveling.
Thank you Tanner Lagasca at @actorstrainingground for an awesome 1-on-1 acting coaching session today while I was traveling in the Raleigh, NC area. I appreciated your coaching, insights, perspective and approach to our beautiful craft.
If you’re in the Raleigh area, check out what Tanner has to offer.
He knows his stuff, is well trained, and has a wonderful mixture of youthful exuberance and mature wisdom when working with actors.
I hope that the next time I’m in NC, I’ll be able to learn from you again."
Stay safe and stay creative my fellow travelers,
