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!

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!

David and Angela pushed me to bring out the best in me!! The challenge for me was to bring emotion in my character. Overall I am a happy person- I just need to tell my face!!! Thanks you two!!

Not only is David professional, but as a working actor he has a unique perspective and ability to help you get the performance you want. Mighty tripod should be a must to any actor in the area!

What you will get: a class that will set you for success to follow through on all the steps you should do to be an actor in today’s market.
What is in it for you: building confidence, putting practical skills in motion, networking, industry knowledge, resources to follow up on and with, how to go after your dream. Don’t wait. Create.

I really appreciate the pride and the energy that David and Angela has done for me to help me become a successful actor. I am always able to reach out to them when I need it and they really take the time to get to know you personally. Because of them, I have been able to get some really good headshots, get casting calls through them, get represented by an agency, and overall push my potential as an actor. Felt extremely Mighty knowing that I can be successful in the PNW’s acting market and I can’t thank you guys enough

David Hogan's excellent coaching and professional headshot service helped me achieve my goal of signing up with a talent agent.

David was very prompt and professional on all of our email communications and was very clear on how I needed to prepare for the coaching and photoshoot session. During the coaching and taping session, he provided me great feedback and gave me new ideas on how to approach my monologues I didn't consider before. That helped me with my creative process on my monologues and helped me look great on camera. He also made me feel relaxed and made the whole taping process fun. After the coaching/headshot session was done, David emailed me the edited photos and video recordings shortly after. The photos and video recordings were great and I sent them to my targeted talent agent. A week later, the talent agent contacted me and offered me a contract! Woohoo!

I highly recommend Mighty Tripod and David's professional coaching and headshot services to anyone who is interested in pursuing acting as a career and finding a talent agent.

I've had the distinct pleasure of enrolling in the Acting 101 and Camera 1 courses at Mighty Tripod Acting Studio, and I must say, the experience has been nothing short of transformative. From the onset, the professionalism, expertise, and genuine passion that both the instructors bring to the table have been evident. They've created an environment that fosters growth, encouraging each student to tap into their potential and refine their craft in a supportive setting.

The lessons have been comprehensive, well-structured, and delivered with an authenticity that's truly commendable. Beyond the technical skills, they’ve imbued a deeper appreciation for the art of acting, enriching my understanding of the craft.

I'm eagerly anticipating diving into Camera 2 with them, and have my sights set on exploring a few more of their offerings in the future. If you're seeking top-tier acting instruction that is both impactful and enlightening, Mighty Tripod Acting Studio is the place to be.

***UPDATE***
(11/6/23)

My wife and I have had the distinct pleasure of embarking on a transformative journey through Acting 101, Camera 1, and now Camera 2 at Mighty Tripod Acting Studio. To say we are impressed would be an understatement; we are genuinely at a loss for words to fully capture the caliber of education and personal growth we have experienced here.

From the foundational skills honed in Acting 101 to the intricate nuances of on-camera technique cultivated through Camera 1 and Camera 2, the depth and quality of instruction have been nothing short of exceptional. The studio has not only equipped us with the tools of the trade but has also instilled a profound confidence that resonates in every audition and performance.

The environment fostered by the faculty is one of professionalism, warmth, and genuine investment in the success of their students. David and Angela are not just instructors; they are mentors who have an uncanny ability to bring out the best in every actor, irrespective of their experience level.

If you are considering a foray into acting, whether it be for personal enrichment or professional pursuit, I wholeheartedly recommend Mighty Tripod Acting Studio. Here, you will not just learn; you will thrive. Thank you to the entire team for an unforgettable and truly stellar experience.

I highly recommend Mighty Tripod Acting Studio to anyone interested in developing as an actor.

My journey with MTAS began with a single individual coaching session and headshots. Since then, it has expanded to include ongoing classroom experiences and inclusion into a community of guidance and support.

David and Angela are driven professionals who I feel are both kind and firm; the entertainment field is a serious business after all. The manner in which they honestly deliver their knowledge, wisdoms, and advice really resonates with me.

I strongly encourage you to explore what Mighty Tripod Acting Studio has to offer. You will not be disappointed.

David and Angela at Mighty Tripod are the real deal. They are the most magnificent teachers, coaches, and enthusiastic, passionate teachers of this art. My daughter has grown in tremendous ways through individual coaching sessions, and group classes. David and Angela draw out the best in her, challenge her, and inspire her in new and creative directions. She has come ALIVE and discovered the actress that has been in her since birth. We are with Mighty Tripod for the long haul. And the price is gracious.
Thank you Mighty Tripod!!!

To start off this review I will tell any and all people interested in acting: this is the place for you. Angela and David are fantastic teachers and I am confident in saying you will walk away from your classes here a better actor and a better person.

In addition to the great classes offered here, Angela and David have fostered a wonderful community of creatives here. If you are in search for your people then look no further than Mighty Tripod Acting Studio.

Highly recommend these courses and seminars for anyone even remotely interested in acting or for those with experience in need of expanding their tools as an actor.

Phenomenal classes, at the time of writing this I have taken 2 courses with the MTAS. Both Angela and David are incredibly knowledgeable about the craft, encouraging, and selflessly motivated to see their students exceed. Their camera 1 class was all around exceptional, keeping class sizes contained led to more individual coaching and practice. The environment cultivated was exciting, reassuring, and only further drove my love for the art and to continue honing my craft. I could not recommend two greater teachers and people to learn from.

I did a lot of research while looking for the right acting studio for a beginner. I was very hesitant with most studios I was browsing through online. However, when I stumbled upon Mighty Tripod there was not an ounce of hesitation in my bones and I knew this was the studio for me. They responded very quickly to any questions I had and was very commutative.

I was very nervous and anxious for my first day of class due to me being very new to everything. However, as I walked into the studio, Angela and David made it comfortable
and was very welcoming.

If you are a total newbie and serious about getting your first step into the industry, Mighty Tripod is the perfect place to go to. Angela and David are both amazing teachers that only hope for you to succeed.

Amazing! Every class I've taken with Angela and David, both in-person and on-line, has been incredible. They are extremely knowledgeable, passionate and genuinely interested in helping each and every student. During this current pandemic, they pivoted their studio and started hosting a self-tape academy course online. It was phenomenal and I wouldn't have been able to get any of my recent callbacks without it. Highly recommend both Angela and David :).

These people have changed my life. If you're looking for the best acting coaches in Seattle, this is it. The growth I have experienced in Angela and David's classes is exponential. I cannot say enough good things. If you're curious, take a class, any class. I PROMISE it will be worth it!!

From group acting classes, to private coaching, to getting headshots taken, we have been so happy with everything we’ve done with Mighty Tripod. Highly recommend!

I was dreaming of acting professionally for years and never knew how to make it happen. After my first class with David and Angela it felt possible. Mighty Tripod is the perfect place for actors no matter where you are on your acting journey. David and Angela generously share themselves and their wealth of knowledge with everyone in class - they empower you wherever you are at. If you need guidance, a place to start, some career pointers or advice, or just to get back into class - I cannot recommend Mighty Tripod Acting Studio enough. They have dusted off my wings and reminded me I can fly!

Easily one of the best acting experiences I have had! Angela and David are smart, professional, and amazingly kind. They share all they can within each and every class. I feel changed as an artist and person having worked with them.

David and Angela are amazing! I learned so much working with both of them. They totally got me and where I am currently and pushed me to reach farther than I thought I could. Can't wait to work with them again!

This is a legit place. I personally had a wonderful experience and boy I learned a lot about Acting!!!

If you're like me and enjoy the freedom of a stage and you have issues with what you judge the limitations of a filmset; if you have no interest in whatever that thing called "camera" is doing; if you'd rather throw your laptop through the room than editing your self-taped audition... THIS is where you need to be to get over your self-inflicted issues! I got over all of it!

I LOVE MIGHTY TRIPOD! Angela and David are super great teachers and absolutely wonderful people to work with. I've been taking classes there for more than five years and I am always learning new things and working in different ways. I highly recommend taking any class at MTAS, you will not regret it and you will meet so many wonderful actors in Seattle. Also-- David does great headshots.

I was a little unsure about taking this class because although I already knew how to do a self tape audition standing in front of my 3 paneled screens and stacking books up to hold my iphone, I was pleasantly surprised to learn how inexpensive a set up would be and how professional my videos looked. I even learned how to edit them. Angela and David are the real deal. Professional, funny, and mostly authentic!
I now feel confident about my ability to present a professional self tape audition.

Just finished Self Tape Acting Academy and it was wonderful! Great one on one coaching with two top notch professionals-inspiring, challenging, with great attention to detail. The group Zoom meetings were fun check ins with actors from Seattle and beyond keeping me motivated to create good work. David and Angela were both kind, kept us to task (Use your CROWE people!), and innovative in the spring 2020 world of shuttered theaters and closed film sets. Proud to call myself one of the "Mighty" ones!

Angela and David are steady, working actors (and producers/directors) here in the PNW, so they pass on to their students current & relevant best practices in the industry. You know that everything you are learning from them is what works in our PNW community. They are honest in their feedback to your work (but never mean) and will try multiple ways to bring out the very best in you. They truly want you to succeed.

Highly recommend!!

Seriously the only acting school that I love going to every chance I get. Both Angela and David are phenomenal and patient and truly are the best at getting me out of my shell. Highly recommend.

My first class with the Mighty Tripod Acting Studio was the online Self Tape Academy and it was a fantastic experience. If you are looking to improve your self-tapes or acting in general, give them a call. Angela and David are supportive, encouraging and an overall joy to be around!

As an actor wanting to learn and grow this school is a fantastic choice. The teachers, David and Angela are such lovely people, and wonderful teachers. I've learned so much in their camera 1 class, I cant wait to continue in their Camera 2 class. And the price is amazing as I've paid the same for a single 1 day workshop whereas at Mighty Tripod you get 5 weeks of leaning. If you are new to acting, or just wanting to grow and learn, then dont look any further, you've found the right choice.
