Testimonials

Keri is truly a hidden gem in Pensacola! She is an enthusiastic and charismatic acting coach that knows the business. As my 12 year old Gage says, "Keri aides in teaching me new tips and how to present

myself for auditions, refine my skills in everything from improvisation, slowing down and articulating my words, to character development and pantomiming." I love as a parent how Keri can get the objectives

met while still making Gage laugh and loosen up his serious side. Gage has learned so much from her and has benefited tremendously from her teachings! We are fortunate to have found an acting coach in

this area that not only is extremely professional (and worth every penny) yet is fun and likable on a parent and youth level.

For over four years, Kerianne Dawson of The Actor’s Den has been a wonderful teacher and role model for our daughter, Madison. Kerianne not only has extensive experience as an actor, but she is also a fun and gifted teacher. Her guidance and ability have allowed Madison to define her strengths and weaknesses and then to focus on developing excellent acting skills. With growing acting success, Madison’s self-confidence has also increased. As parents with no experience in the entertainment field, Kerianne has been a lifeline in sharing information and offering advice that allows us to assist Madison in developing her skills and defining her goals. We highly recommend the experience of learning valuable life skills at

The Actor’s Den.

I had the incredible fortune of discovering Actor's Den and enrolling my son in KeriAnne’s classes, and it has been an absolute blessing. From the moment we stumbled upon this acting class, his life has been enriched with joy and personal growth. I cannot express enough gratitude for KeriAnne’s exceptional teaching abilities and the positive impact she has had on my son.

My son, who has always grappled with social anxiety, has found solace and inspiration within the supportive atmosphere cultivated by KeriAnne. Every week, he eagerly anticipates his acting class and returns home with a radiant smile on his face. It is evident that KeriAnne possesses an innate talent for what she does, creating an environment that is not only safe but also incredibly comfortable for her students.

One of the most remarkable aspects of KeriAnne’s teaching approach is her ability to empower her students to overcome their fears. Despite my son's initial reservations about performing in front of a group of people, KeriAnne’s guidance and expertise have helped him break free from his self-imposed limitations. My son being able to confidently take the stage to act out scenes is a testament to KeriAnne’s exceptional skills as an instructor.

The impact of Kerrianne's classes extends far beyond the realm of acting. She has nurtured my son's passion and allowed it to flourish, providing him with a creative outlet to express himself fully. Through her dedication and expertise, KeriAnne has transformed my son's life, instilling in him a newfound confidence and a deep sense of self-belief.

I cannot recommend Actor's Den enough. If you're seeking a nurturing, supportive, and transformative environment for your teen to explore their passion for acting, look no further.

Thank you, KeriAnne for the profound impact you have had on my son's life. We are forever grateful for the joy, growth, and self-discovery that Actor's Den has brought into our lives.
