Thomas Garner

I just had my first acting coaching session with Thomas and can’t say enough great things about him and his technique. He teaches you the road map to easily navigate your way through any scene whether it’s a cold read or a booked job. I’m looking forward to taking my work to him before all my shoots. Thanks Thomas!

Tom as an acting coach is AMAZING! If you are a veteran to the game or just starting, Tom is really someone you should give a try before you drop SICK amounts of coin on some acting academy that may or may not help you out. His rates are very affordable and the knowledge you will gain is priceless. He really helps us as actors quickly find what the writer is trying to project to their audience. I’m all about making the character my own, so to speak, but FIRST we all have to go through and impress the right people in the interview/​audition process. This is where Tom will give you the insight you need and that many of the other actors do not have. So do yourself a favor and try Tom out. You won’t be sorry you did!
Thomas Garner IS A BIG DEAL!
PS.tell’em Tyler Tuione sent you! ;)

Thomas G. is a great coach. I’ve worked with him for years. Any time a big audition came up, I booked a coaching with him to fine tune it with me. He’s got a very specific technique that really helps bring out the nuances in scripts. He has a great, quick eye for changes in dialogue and he knows his medium well. He not only helps you with the acting part, he also knows the type of show/​film you’re going in for and teaches you how to discern that moving forward. He also makes getting an appointment very easy and makes himself available whenever possible.
Missing star for price. Having said that, nothing good comes cheap so keep that in mind. Coaching can be expensive.

Oh how I love this man. I always see Tom before auditions. Ease of scheduling is very important because, as we all know, big auditions often come up last minute. I have never had a problem getting him to fit me into his busy schedule, even same day. I don’t know how he does it because I often run into his other clients as I’m coming or going, but he always makes me feel like I’m the only student he has all day– that’s the kind of attention you can expect. He genuiley cares about getting you booking and taking your work from «good enough» to great (aka, booking). I feel so confident when I leave an audition he’s coached me on. I leave feeling that I left everything in the room and really gave my best performance, thanks to his guidance and technique, which is unbelievably simple but effective. His rates are very reasonable and the one on one attention you get just can’t be matched by any acting class I’ve ever taken. When I needed to audition for an out-​of-​town project he did a fantastic job of putting me on tape and even edited it for me so all I had to do was press «send» to get it to the casting director. Easy peazy. He even does Skype sessions. I feel like I’m sharing my little secret with the world. Don’t audition without him!

Thomas Garner is by far the best in the Biz, not only is he a phenomenal actor himself, he is very patient with his students, he will also tell you straight up what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong, after going to twenty different acting coaches and thousands of dollars later, I now spend my money wisely and book jobs w/​Thomas Garner’s techniques. If you want to be a working actor go to Tom now!!!

Tom has been in the biz for decades – as a manager, actor, illustrator and teacher. He’s knowledgeable about the industry and great at all that he does. These days, he’s focused on teaching, and that’s just a gift for those of us who are his students. The technique he has created simply works and is both intuitive and easily adaptable to different material and genres of performance. Worth mentioning as well are his rates – the value in what his coaching provides far surpasses what he charges to work with you. There is a reason why his students continuously book and return to him. He genuinely is a good person and a brilliant coach. I hesitate to share him with too many people, yet I know more actors ought to work with him, because he is superb. Keep up the awesomeness, Tom!
