Past Student Experience

The education and acting training I’ve received at Dearing has not only applied in my life as an actor, but in my personal life and business life. From 2018 to 2019, my income has doubled and I truly believe it is from the knowledge I received from Matt and his team at the Dearing Acting Studio.

I can’t say enough about how wonderful this place is. The teachers expect a lot from you, but that’s how you grow! Taking acting classes hasn’t just made me a better actor but it has manifested itself into the rest of my life and has helped me become a better person. It’s crazy, I know! But that’s really what it’s done as long as you are willing to put in the work, be willing to fail, pick yourself back up and keep going. And the teachers are there with you every step of the way, holding your hand, helping you grow. I love these guys!
