TSAW Testimonials
"I have hired Tasha in front of the screen as an actor, behind the screen as a director, and offscreen as an acting coach. Tasha’s commitment to the work and to our Black community of artists as a whole is next to spiritual. Only come to her if you’re willing to take your craft to the next level."
~Lee Daniels
"Tasha's teaching transformed and grew me in a way I didn’t know I needed. I did not just become an actress under her tutelage but I became a more authentic me. She will not settle for anything less than completely real, while also teaching you to protect your instrument. It’s empowering to work with someone who will not quit on you no matter how difficult...who truly cares about you as a person and is as invested in your success as you are."
~Andra Day

"I was referred to Tasha by the amazing Denzel Washington. She’s such a powerful coach. She brings things out of us we didn’t know we were hiding to give to the character. Her teaching is a therapy session as well as an acting class. Working with Tasha Smith on my breakthrough film Mudbound got me an Oscar nomination for my performance."
~Mary J. Blige
