I had the best experience working with The Class Act Studios. I learned very valuable lessons with acting, performance, and life in general. He is the best of the best.

Its rooted in basic principles of everyday life and observation.

Dorian is my "go-to" acting coach for my students. They absolutely love working with him. Dorian is the best acting coach I've ever worked with. He can get that amazing performance from actors of all ages. My students have racked up the awards since working with Dorian. He gets results but most importantly, he "gets" acting, and people. My students trust him, and he pushes them to be their best.

I took several classes each time I walked away learning more about who I am as a person. I was challenged to push myself beyond my own limited beliefs. I walked out of each class with a new sense of confidence to not only be a better actor, but a better person moving forward. A real Class Act. Thank you for inspired all of your students to be better versions of ourselves.

Dorian has been my director for 2, going on 3, shows now and I can honestly say I've grown more as an actor these past two years with him than I have throughout the 10 years I've been acting without his direction. I've worked with him in group settings so I've seen how he uses different teaching styles on all his students to ensure he is using the more effective way for each of us to pick up the direction. Dorian truly cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He brings the perfect balance of tough love/honesty and compassion. I believe it would be a privilege for any student to work under the direction of The Class Act Studios.

Working with Dorian has been incredibly enjoyable as well as progressive for my acting career. My skills have been vastly improved since joining, and I have Dorian to thank for it.
