"Learning Meisner has been great!  I came in totally blind not having heard nor researched the method prior to booking the class. I can really see how this is going to benefit my performances, but it's also helping me look back at prior work and understanding the why behind some of what worked (and what hasn’t).— Rachael M.

This class has been such an unexpected and meaningful experience for me. I’m stepping into a lifelong dream—speaking on stage to thousands about how to follow your Inner Guidance System.

I recently learned that acting classes can help elevate public speaking—and it just clicked. It makes perfect sense. And honestly? Deep down, I’ve always wanted to be an actress.

So here I am—better late than never.

I so appreciated Bill’s help in finding gigs for me, as well as Bill’s expertise in the various acting techniques.  The classes have been very transformative for me and have really propelled my creativity. 

Thank you for sharing your passion so boldly. It truly inspires. —Carol H.

Bill Leavengood’s masterful approach to Meisner successfully balances individualized attention with group and partnered exercises in a way that is not only accessible but meaningful to actors of all levels. Our class had students who had never acted before, professional actors, and actors with multiple performing arts degrees; everyone left Leavengood’s “shotgun Meisner” course having showcased significant growth from start to finish. Whether you’re venturing into new territory or a seasoned actor seeking new tools for the toolbox, everyone can benefit from learning, acting, and doing with Bill Leavengood.— Bailee M.

I am so grateful that I enrolled in the Uta Hagen acting workshop with Bill. Bill conducts class with warmth and fun. 

The expectations for what the actor must prepare at home to bring to class is clear. Bill provides expert feedback on that work via email prior to class. 

He deftly delivers evaluation of the exercises in a manner that propels the actors to become better actors!  

Bill has the expertise, creativity, and kindness that has made the time I spent learning from him immeasurably valuable to me. I look forward to the next opportunity to take Bill’s workshop! —Erin L.
