About Darren

Being a full time performer myself, I love guiding others in their desire to achieve a dream. I teach an actual toolbox for actors, techniques that guarantee growth and accomplishment. I help you prepare to compete in this very competitive field. Get ready to grow. No set curriculum because I treat every student as an individual and work at their particular level. I will and can help you.

I enjoy teaching because being a film director I've learned exactly what people need to be on set or stage and to be successful there. I've performed in 100 million dollar films on and off Broadway and in network television series. I've studied with incredible acting coaches, developed my own curriculum and love passing on this art. Recently locating to Kansas City, Missouri, I am starting a new film company here and productions are readying to begin.

I started teaching in 1989 when I opened my first studio The Actor Shop. Because of Universal Studios in Orlando, the town desperately needed actors readied for set. Though specializing in film and television techniques I also work with stage actors being one myself. You're never too young or old to act. Some film stars didn't even begin acting until their late forties.

I began training in New York in the eighties. I then worked on and off Broadway, in television and film, later attending film school in Los Angeles, becoming a director and producer. I am still a full time actor, singer and filmmaker.

About the lesson

I look at all experience and training each person has (none required at all) and go forward from there. I work with absolute newcomers to people on set working.

I work with actors aged 8 and up. I work with newbies to people with masters degrees in theater. I've worked with stars on set, coached people on auditions, in groups, privately and now remotely over the internet.

When looking for an acting coach, always look for someone educated, talented and who HAS real life experience. Always check their resumes and credits. One way is IMDB.com.

I relocated to Kansas City a couple years ago and am excited to bring some of the industry here and to teach some of its talent.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What do you want out of this? Where do you want to take it? How serious are you? Are you willing to work?

I have studied with a dozen acting teachers over the years. Darren Dowler is not only the most knowledgeable acting coach I’ve ever had, but he has a talent for teaching. And he’s not just a coach. He’s a full-time performer, director and filmmaker out in the field doing it, booking the roles, and acting. He has so much real world experience to draw from it’s obvious why he’s one of the most sought after coaches in the business. You’ll learn more than one lesson from him then a whole summer with another coach. I just saw him in the movie Palau in which he plays the Reverend Billy Graham. He was amazing.

And- he’s great with kids!

I initially started with Darren in Orlando in 1990. Being a talent manager I wanted to understand acting better to better help my clients needs. After a few lessons I had learned so much that I required my entire client stable of about 25 people to take his class. He had to add an additional night to handle my people. In a couple weeks I saw incredible growth. In a few months I had the best acting stable in Orlando. My people were working.

Darren is one of the most talented actors and teachers I’ve ever come across. But he’s not the coach for someone who takes it lightly. He’ll work your butt off.

Darren is an incredible acting Coach. I couldn’t recommend him higher. He goes so above and beyond with his time, his care and investment in you as an actor, his amazing guidance and how to truly delve deep into a character and a scene. Before I started taking with him, I was ok as an actor. Once I started working with him, I started getting callbacks and booking jobs and really started to grow and reach my full potential as an actor and I began to feel very confident about my abilities. If you take lessons with him, you will be so happy you did!!
