Shane Savage is an Australian-born actor, coach, director, and writer now based in Vancouver, with 18 years of acting experience and 14 years of professional coaching. He trained full-time at Howard Fine Acting Studio Australia, later joined its faculty, and went on to teach at Australia's National Theatre Drama School, where he designed curricula and mentored graduating ensembles.

After relocating to Canada in 2018, he worked as an associate at JBA before founding Sonder Acting Studio in Gastown, Vancouver.
