About
Most acting classes just teach aimlessly. I find out what my actors' goals are and teach to them. This equals success in a timely manner.
I've been an acting coach/director/mentor for 10 years. I have a published book on acting with another one to be out by summer '18.
Under my direction/coaching, my actors have acheived state championships titles as well as other awards and accolades.

Dorian has a unique ability to identify the emotional demand of a role & tap into the purest form of human connection to shape career-defining moments. He coaches students to make thoughtful, unique decisions they otherwise may not choose. Just like experiencing the world around you fade away while engrossed in a mesmerizing film, Dorian invites you into his world where imagination runs wild & “acting” truly becomes “being”.

Dorian is my go-to acting coach for my students. They absolutely love working with him. Dorian is the best acting coach Ive 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 Ive grown more as an actor these past two years with him than I have throughout the 10 years Ive been acting without his direction. Ive worked with him in group settings so Ive 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.
