"Alan loves the craft of on-camera acting and it shows in the way he works with students. His passion - coupled with his professionalism, talent and expertise - makes him the ideal teacher for beginners and veterans alike.

He's also a kind mentor who cares greatly about his students' development and well-being. I remember his classes fondly, and I learned a great deal from them. When I stepped in front of a camera after that, I did so with confidence thanks to Alan's guidance."

'"I remember seeing in one of the newspapers an advertisement for Alan Dysert's acting classes. Acting has always been a love and hobby of mine, so I quickly signed up. I was very pleased when I walked into the classroom. Alan is a wonderful guy and teacher. Between the fellow actors and Alan it was a great, safe environment to tap into the craft of acting. I experienced a teacher who encouraged me in my efforts. He is someone who provides feedback, without putting his students down. That is very important to students who want to grow and learn. "

"Not even realizing it, my co-workers noticed a positive change in my confidence that took place while studying with Alan. About a year later, I decided to head out to Los Angeles and give "it" a shot. Within months of being a background actor, AKA an Extra, I was able to join SAG. Shortly after that, I landed a stand-in job on Gilmore Girls. I've been working on this show for the last 7 seasons. During the course of that time, I have been given three "5 & Under" roles on the show. Alan and his class built up the passion and paved the path for me to pursuit a life in Hollywood. Regardless of how far I do or do not go in this industry, I'll always be grateful for him and his class. "

I fell in love with the business through his eyes. I always remembered everything Alan told me. Without his classes, I wouldn't be where I am today.

I just wanted to thank you for a great workshop last weekend. You have an ease and friendliness about you that is very reassuring and quite frankly inspiring to anyone who's trying to perform. I could not have asked for a better teacher.
Thanks again--Mary Tebo

Answering an ad on the back of the Nashville Scene for an Acting For Camera I class taught by Alan Dysert has been one of my best life decisions. Within 6 months of taking Alan's class I landed my first paid acting job, and later in the year following, landed a total of nine on-camera jobs both professional, and independent, with national and international exposure. Not only did these skills lead to great acting opportunities, they lead to great behind the scenes successes such as writing, producing, directing, editing, film scoring, and director of photography jobs. By taking Alan's classes I developed the confidence and skills to pursue and overtake some of my lifelong dreams, and would not hesitate to recommend any of Alan's programs for the advancement of your dreams to work in the TV and film industry."

"I want you to know I appreciate the efforts you give to helping actors in the business especially in the Nashville area. When I was new to town and just getting started, I could always call you for advice and some direction on issues. I think you have just redefined "above and beyond".
- Ron Nichols

"I just completed my bachelor's degree and your classes are so much better than any class I have ever taken."
- Michelle Evans

You make the environment a great and relaxed learning atmosphere. Minutes before the first class, I was so scared! Just minutes after we started, I forgot my fear.
I think people are blessed to have you (including myself) as our instructor.

"I thought I would let you know, if you're interested, that Jessica got one of the lead roles in a play at The Center for the Arts. I talked with her about what you taught in the class that I took with you- that she should try out for theatre "even if you know you won't get it, just for the practice of the auditioning experience" Well, She tried out for Guys & Dolls Jr. . We thought maybe, she would get a part as an extra and a couple of days later the list was up and she got the part of Sarah Brown!!
She is very excited and is doing well in the rehearsals and is loving every minute of it! I just wanted to say thanks for your honesty and your help. Thank you!"
- Carolyn Theiss

Maria loved your class. She talked all the way home about how much fun it was and how much there is to learn. She couldn't wait for tomorrow. I asked her why. She said, "don't I have class again tomorrow?" She hoped she had class every day for the next 6 weeks.

Sincerely,
Christi Elekes

Alan I owe a lot to your advice and training for The Best Actor 2005 - 06 in "Anne of Green Gables". It was a surprise as I had some really good actors who were also nominated. I got a kick out of being nominated- never thought in a million years my performance would be selected.

Best Wishes, thanks for the good training
