Learn How To Master Stage Presence and Own the Room

You’ve seen him in Ozark, The Vampire Diaries, and Stranger Things—but today, Brian LaFontaine isn’t here to play a role. He’s here to reveal what happens when the lights go down, the script fades, and you’re left with the one character you can’t escape: yourself.

In this candid and soul-stirring episode of GRASP Confidence, Brian sits down with host Tara LaFon Gooch to go far beyond the glitz of Hollywood and the world of performance. Together, they explore what it really means to stop performing—for others, for approval, for perfection—and to begin showing up in full alignment with your truest self.

Brian is a celebrated actor and voiceover artist with a career spanning decades, but his real mission lives behind the scenes: to help others see that confidence isn’t about charisma or stage time, it’s about integrity with self. It’s about rewriting your inner narrative, owning your story, and standing grounded in who you are, even when no one’s watching.

This episode is a masterclass in radical authenticity, quiet courage, and the power of presence. If you’ve ever struggled with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or the pressure to be who the world expects you to be—this conversation will speak directly to your soul.

Together, we unpack:

🎭 How to rewrite your story when the script no longer fits 🎤 The surprising truth about stage presence and confidence—on and off camera 🧠 What it takes to quiet the inner critic and own every room 💬 Why storytelling and vulnerability are your greatest leadership tools

Whether you’re a speaker, leader, or creator—this conversation will remind you that the role of a lifetime is the one only you can play.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, unseen, or like you’re living someone else’s story, this episode is your invitation to reclaim your voice and step fully into your purpose.
