“I can’t speak highly enough about Joanna Rannelli’s teaching methods. Every moment I spent in Joanna’s private coaching has been an eye-opening and amazing experience.

“As an actor with no formal training, Joanna has been able to successfully coach me through auditions and a booked (paid!) role. Her knowledge, experience and easy coaching style has enabled me to become a stronger performer. I continue to go back to learn more”

“I had the pleasure of working with Joanna Rannelli during the 2019 Vancouver Fringe Festival for “The Most Massive Woman Wins.” Joanna is the most supportive and empowering co-star and producer I could have asked for. She is a role model to me, and as someone who was freshly out of theatre school, I definitely needed that role model during my first out-of-university production. Joanna helped me throughout my character building and story arc, gave me so much insight and truth behind the world of the play, and guided me through the process of being a part of a show at the Fringe. She made me feel completely comfortable and confident in my own skin, and helped me bring out the truth in my performances. As an actor, Joanna is incredibly funny, vulnerable, and genuine. She radiates and lights up every room she walks into. She is such a joy to watch, learn from, and share the stage with. If you have the pleasure of working with Joanna, you are incredibly lucky.”
