I learned so much in their class! They are a great team and I felt comfortable from the first second. I highly recommend taking classes from them!

I just finished Angela and David's three week "Self-Tape Bootcamp" over Zoom, and I'm very pleased to report that it was time and money well spent. In acting, auditioning is the job, and that means that the self-tape space is just as important as the headshot. Angela "Mama" DiMarco was extremely kind, warm, and funny, and was very helpful with her feedback about the sound issues I was having with my self-tape space (my room is large and has an echo, so she gave me some ideas about how to mitigate it). David was brilliant, incredibly insightful with his feedback, and had a keen eye for lighting. It was super helpful to have him review my setup, and give advice about where to position lights. He also offered great advice in terms of dressing the characters and making sure the backdrop and wardrobe/hair don't match. We want to stand out in our auditions, not blend in with the background (great tip!). Another great wardrobe tip for callbacks (I always struggle with this) is to just wear the exact same thing that you wore for the audition. I love advice like this because it's one less thing for me to waste time stressing about. I want to focus on what really matters in the audition: staying grounded, calm, and connected to the character and the story. The critique I got from Angela and David on not just my physical setup, but my performance for commercial and theatrical auditions was so helpful. Their "CROWE" method to break down a scene is something I'll be using for the rest of my acting career. I'll definitely be taking classes from them again in the future. Hopefully in-person next time. I'm so grateful for them as artists and humans. We need more people like them in this industry. Lastly, I was very touched by the final takeaway at the end of the last class. It was simple, yet so true. Something we tend to lose sight of in this cutthroat industry, and something I'll keep coming back to when I feel burned out or jaded by the audition process: Have fun.

I had such a wonderful experience at Mighty Tripod Acting Studio! Thank you so much to David and Angela for an amazing class. I learned so much and truly enjoyed every moment of it. I absolutely loved both of your energy and the way you shared your knowledge and experience with us. You created such a welcoming, inspiring, and engaging environment that made learning feel exciting and enjoyable.

David and Angela are the best! Very helpful with developing my craft and making connections in the area. I wouldn’t even know where to start in the Seattle area for the industry without them but with their help I have booked a short film, commercial, and gotten signed to an agent! Could not recommend more highly. They have options for every skill level and more specialized classes in between. If you’re thinking about taking classes with them DO IT!

I’ve been taking classes at Mighty Tripod Acting Studio, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. Angela and David are incredible teachers — knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping actors grow. It’s been over 20 years since I was last in the industry, and so much has changed. Angela and David break everything down in a way that makes the new audition world feel clear and manageable. Their guidance has helped me rebuild my confidence and understand how modern auditions work, both self‑tapes and in‑person. I’m learning a lot, I feel encouraged every week, and I’m excited to continue taking more classes with them. Mighty Tripod is a fantastic place for anyone returning to acting or starting fresh.

I cannot say enough good things about Mighty Tripod Acting Studio and Angela and David! They offer so many different supports and education opportunities for the actor, novice to old pro. I have had the pleasure to take a couple of classes and workshops with them and always come away with new skills and a refreshed outlook because of their optimistic yet grounded approach. They have created a safe place for actors to learn, grow and play. Take a class, in person or zoom, or get a new headshot. They have your back. Thank you Angela and David! J.D. Lloyd Actor

David rules. Go here.

Wow! This is truly the best acting studio in Seattle. I took Camera 1 with David and Angela, and the entire experience went far beyond anything I expected. Their depth of knowledge is incredible, and the way they share it is both supportive and empowering. You can genuinely feel how much they believe in their students—and that kind of encouragement is rare and so meaningful.

David and Angela have well structured course. Its very informative and allows you to practice which they give tips and suggestions on how to improve. I would recommend taking a course with Mighty Tripod.

Angela and David are great! Their classes are welcoming and fun. They themselves are full of life and bring a wonderful atmosphere and energy. Highly recommend for any age or skill level. They meet you where you are and are excellent at teaching while providing an amazing space for you to learn and grow. Whether you’re trying to master your craft, or just want to have some fun, you won’t regret taking your journey with Mighty Tripod Acting Studio.

Absolutely my favorite place to turn for education, training & support in my acting career, no matter if you're a beginner or a seasoned actor, you can definitely still find something to learn at MTAS...

David and Angela at mighty tripod are awesome. Working actors with years of experience teaching new talent, and they truly take pride and care about their student professional and personal successes. I’ve worked with numerous acting coaches and they’ve help me improve my comfort in front of the camera and provide a safe space to really hone in on the craft. They provide great group classes for all levels, lots of professional workshops with other major players in the industry, and also great one-on-one coaching. I recommend David and Angela to anyone interested in actively learning more about the craft or if they’re even questioning about how and where to start. They’re great and I look forward working with them in the future!

I just spent the weekend working on a Seattle 48 film project AT HARBOR ISLAND STUDIOS! Next week I get to go watch that short film at the MOVIE THEATER...somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming. THANK YOU Mighty Tripod! I never would have had this incredible experience if I hadn't found you and took an Acting for the camera class to stave off the "winter blues". You have created such an amazing community for all of us to be a part of, as if both of you being excellent educators and performers, wasn't enough! I can honestly say that my life is better because of Mighty Tripod. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 🥰

David and Angela are wonderful! Authentic, experienced, insightful coaching - truly an incredible resource for our local creative community!

Mighty tripod is the best environment to do a self tape in. I felt calm and looked after from the moment I got there. David is a fantastic reader and coach and not only was the equipment high quality, David helped me to give my best performance. I got the results back very quickly & It got me the role! Angela & David are a great team to have in your corner

Mighty Tripods acting studio is fantastic! David Hogan and Angela DiMarco are the best at improving you and your craft wherever you are in your acting journey. I highly recommend checking them out and getting connected with the community they’ve built. The classes are awesome and always very fun!

David & Angela are a wonderful team helpful to any upcoming or established actor/actress in Seattle! A must for training, networking (and even headshots!)

Angela and David are so amazing!! They know the industry so well and are so knowledgeable, I've signed up for my next class!! I highly recommend the Mighty Tripod!!!

I've been working with David for a year now, and I've been impressed with every single one of our sessions! He is the go-to-guy if you're looking for headshots or taping services. If you're an aspiring actor, come to Mighty Tripod Studios. You'll be glad you did.

Best camera acting studio in the Seattle area. Your acting abilities will level up, assuming you put in effort in the class.

Taking Camera 1 at Mighty Tripod was such a fun and transformative experience! From day one, David and Angela created an incredibly welcoming and supportive environment that made stepping out of my comfort zone feel natural. They provide genuine, constructive feedback and have a way of making every actor feel valued and encouraged in their growth. Not only did I gain technical on-camera skills, but I also learned how to bring authenticity and confidence into my performances. The class challenged me in the best way possible, pushing me to take risks, trust my instincts, and embrace the camera.

Mighty Tripod is THE place to go to learn to navigate the business of acting and auditioning for film and TV! Angela and David are the most welcoming and supportive teachers/mentors - there is much to learn from their amazing gifts and talents as working actors, producers/directors, photographers and coaches! Not only are the classes fun and engaging, but you feel part of an instant inspiring and awesome community! I’ve taken two classes so far and am eagerly awaiting my third! I’ll also be booking David for headshots! As a professional actor on stage for over 20 years in New York and London, I had never really ventured into film and TV and was quite nervous- but realized very quickly I was in incredibly capable and nurturing hands. I have learned so much under their stellar and encouraging guidance. I ❤️ Mighty Tripod!

If you are serious or even just curious about acting and the film/tv industry, then you have to go to Angela and David - they are the absolute best!

I highly recommend Mighty Tripod Acting Studio! I started taking classes & workshops here a couple of years ago, at a time when I was struggling with my confidence and direction as an actor. David & Angela helped to not only focus my energy and revitalize my career perspective, but have also provided me with so many skills I have been able to implement. They are absolutely the best on camera tutors in town. You will learn so much, from two people who are very successfully & actively working in the industry, so they are always adapting their classes to fit the current market. There are classes available for every level of performer, and their regular Actor's Gym is a great place to work on any material of your own choosing as well. Perfect for upcoming auditions and roles!
