My Name is Leon

"I've been a DMA Elite actor for 5 years now, and I'm incredibly grateful I discovered DMA. These experiences have profoundly shaped my life, providing me with unparalleled opportunities and support. DMA's impact for me has been nothing short of transformative, and I'm honored to be part of this community and incredible journey. Here's to many more years ahead!“

- Cole Martin

“The opportunites Cole has had are only possible because of the amazing work you do at DMA. Honestly, thank you! Cole absolutely loved the experience on his recent movie and got some amazing feedback — the director, producer, writer, the whole crew were full of praise! The director even said wherever he trains is doing a fantastic job… and that’s all DMA! A proud parent moment and a big thanks to you! "

“DMA’s been a huge part of my life since I was 10, and it’s shaped who I am as an actor. I’ve grown so much here not just in skill but in confidence. The support and mentoring I’ve had have helped me grow from a kid who loved acting into someone who truly understands the craft and the kind of authentic stories I want to tell.”

Maddie Evans

House of The Dragon

“Ive never felt I’ve fully been accepted or embraced anywhere else but DMA. DMA is my home, where I get to grow and make mistakes with people I love and admire. It’s been a journey over the past 8 years and I’m so so grateful! I can't wait for the journey to continue.”

- Maddie Evans

“It is hard to find the right words to describe the impact Dominique has had on Maddie since she first met her at 11 years old and became her coach, mentor and role model. For Maddie - Dominique is her inspiration. In all that Maddie has achieved since she started in this industry Dominique has been instrumental in guiding her, supporting her and championing her and for that we will be forever grateful. To put it in 3 words Dominique is ‘simply the best’.

Isabella Sermon

Maisie

Jurassic World

“Through both her individual coaching and mentoring sessions with Dominique and the monthly Masterclasses, Izzy’s skills and her confidence in her acting abilities have grown immensely over this time. Dominique is always so professional and encouraging, guiding Izzy to be the best that she can be and to push herself further. She is always available, even at the last minute, to assist with a self tape or some last minute prep, even to the extent of making herself very late attending a wedding to make sure that Izzy was fully prepared before she started filming overseas. Dominique’s knowledge of the industry, her skill set and professional experience are amazing, as is the altruistic way in which she is so willing to share her knowledge and experiences with her young actors. Thank you Dominique.”
