He was hired by Tommie Lindsey (former head coach of James Logan High School) and coached his students for 3 years both during the summer and throughout the year. Shane’s combined experiences in Forensics, Theater, and Film/TV give him a unique coaching eye beneficial for any motivated interper.
Shane Zeigler: “Forensics teaches you how to focus and deliver the goods on demand in a high pressure environment–a necessary skill to carry with you walking into all any audition. Helpful in any job interview for all those non actors too!”
