Dearing Acting Studio has been named Valley's Best Acting Studio for the last 4 years running.  We offer professional classes along with an inviting atomosphere and flexible schedule.  Our students and alumni can be seen on TV, stage, films and commercials almost every day of the year.

As an educator to the next generation of actors, I like to teach both the skills of the trade as well as the nature of the business itself. Many programs will create very talented performers, but leave them without any idea of where to go once they've graduated.  In addition to being a full-time actor/teacher currently, I have numerous regional and national tour credits on my resume in a career that has just passed 20 years long.

My student’s success is my success. I teach performers how to develop their artistic and natural side by providing specific and constructive feedback. I bring all the elements of my training and stage experience into my coaching sessions. I believe every performer possesses a unique personality and individual characteristics that empowers them to greatness on their stage. I am a trusted adviser and have taught, guided and mentored all over the world.

I help students build confidence in themselves and to find what makes them unique and special. I will inspire my students to believe in themselves as I teach them how to use their imaginations through acting. It is my hope that all children find the magic that theatre can bring to their life and to help them believe that anything is possible if they set their mind to it. My students will gain a sense of self and find what they are passionate about.  I have a degree in Theatre and I have been an actor since I was 10 years old. I am 29 and have been teaching theatre since I was just 14 year

I began my acting career way before I ever set foot in an acting class. Growing up with an abusive stepfather, I learned early on how to create different characters and personas to distract my stepfather when things got physical. Perhaps it was fate or destiny that lured me into show business. I graduated with a Bachelor Of Arts in Comprehensive Theatre and Communications from Ashland University. In addition to acting and directing, I have also toured extensively. My first tour was in a show called Mr. Wizard's Supermarket Sceince, that traveled exclusively to elemantary and middle schools.&nb

Hello, fellow thespians! My name is Nick Buchanan and I live in Phoenix. I started acting at the age of 13 in my hometown of Akron, Ohio, in community theatre. Then, at 20, I moved to NYC. I was there for 20 years, and did a great deal of Off-Broadway plays, television, and film work, plus commercial print modeling for Bloomingdale's and Macy's. I performed my own cabaret show, and also wrote an original screenplay. Acting and writing are my two passions, because they allow me to branch out of reality and dive into the wonderful, colorful world of THE IMAGINATION! I had the best teacher of the

Amira Therese knows how tough it can be to "break in" to the industry. It can be menacing and overwhelming- and not a lot of people want to share their secrets for success. Other coaches and instructors often will quickly limit you, by telling you how slim your chances of making it are.  Amira doesn't believe that! She has broken down so many barriers in her way, just by believing hard enough, connecting with industry professionals around the globe in a positive and lucrative manner, and by living the mantra "A Rising Tide Raises All Ships!" When it comes down to it, all we really need is

All scenes are performed twice each class for two weeks with a full in-depth critique after each performance. The critiques last over 20 minutes.
