“As an acting coach and teacher myself I am highly critical of referring other coaches. Michael Leoni is the exception to that rule. As a strong director, he brings a passion for the craft as well as a brilliant awareness of human behavior. He is a strong teacher with the ability to take actors to the most honest place. I’ve seen his work as a director, actor and as a teacher and I highly recommend him!”
- Lisa Pantone - Casting Director, Acting Coach

What actors have been saying about Michael Leoni:

"Michael Leoni's class hit a very interesting chord for me mentally. I learned more about myself through him than I have from any other teacher or class in my academic history. I am very grateful for having him in my career."
- Banks Boutte- Actor

"Michael Leoni is informative, inspirational, and attacks your inhibitions."
- Mike Melo- Actor

"I think the class is amazing, because it makes me approach acting--and my life--from a different angle.   I was always me, reading the lines, pretending to be someone, and judging myself. But with this class, I've been  able to realize that, and tackle that kind of selfish actor mentality. I think Michael Leoni's  class is a really great environment for actors who want to learn more about themselves and the art of acting."
-Navaris Darson - Actor
