A. J. St. Clair
"The unique tools he has developed for the actor/writer/producer/film-maker continue to vault professionals to new levels of work within their various industry areas. These same tools also enable individuals to see their work-and what they bring to it from their own experiences-in a new way."
Pamela Lindsay, MA
Co-Founder College of
Adaptive Arts
"Working on my craft with Piero was the best thing that could have happened to me at the start of my career. Under Piero, I studied On-Camera Technique, Commercial Auditioning Technique, as well as his trademark Character Preference and Character Expression classes. On top of his sharp eye for locating exactly what was, or wasn't working for me, he also provided the space for me to discover it for myself. This very intimate understanding was instrumental when Piero helped me find the right scene and coached me for my audition to the Actor's Studio MFA program where I graduated from in the spring of 2010"
Beau Berglund

"In my 45 years of experience as a Film, TV and Stage actor, I have found Piero Dusa's "Preference System", On Camera and Auditioning training to be among the most illuminating and effective techniques for the education and practical grounding in the art and craft of acting."
Nick Mancuso

Jermaine Johnson
Actor
"Before I met Piero I had studied for years with some great acting coaches, including Uta Hagen. I had a very solid base but Piero helped me take my acting to the next level, and several more above that. He is intensely passionate about acting and teaching the craft to his students."
Jeff L. Williams
Attorney, Actor, Producer
"Today, I am so thankful that you allowed us to explore and create for ourselves. Recently, while working on a film set, I was able to bring options to the scene that enriched the film. The director and other actors would pull me aside and say, "How did you come up with that?" I just replied that it was how I was trained!"
Katy Fulkerson
Actor
"In 2002 I remember attending the writer's workshop hosted by you and Syd Field. Having been to a number of such events hosted by the top writing professionals in Hollywood, I wasn't expecting a lot - how wrong I was. I have come to realize anyone serious about the craft of writing for the visual media must have a complete understanding of the process of acting - In fact, your insight into crafting emotion from language has been an incalculable benefit to my work"
A. J. St. Clair
Attorney & Screenwriter
"With triweekly sessions in Film & TV and Commercial, as well ds, Dusa's Character Preference and Character Expression, we received a solid foundation upon which we are building and moving into the entertainment industry. Within this quality framework, I am pleased to say that I discovered and am developing creative aspects of myself of which I was previously unaware"
Sallie and Laura Rogers
Actor
" Working with you one on one last year as you took me through a rather intensive On-Camera Audition and Commercial technique program tailored specifically for my needs you introduced me to a wonderful actor tool, your Character Preference. This has completely changed how I approach and develop a character, it's great. I also find it useful when communicating with others in my daily life."
Mitzie Pratt
Actor
"Charlene was always impressed with the emotions you were able to bring out in the students. It was a safe environment for her and she always felt very comfortable which allowed her to open up and let go of her inhibitions and shyness. Her growth outside of the class was even more tremendous. She used to be very quiet, but after just a few months she soon became out-going and very confident. For all of this, I truly thank you."
Lidia Oros
Investigative Operative
"After seeing the trasformation that my brother Giuseppe had with you in 1991, I knew that you were the only teacher for me. From the moment I saw you in action in 2001, with your fun & playful way of teaching & then your cutting edge Dusa's Character Preference, Expression & your on-Camera training practical approach, I felt right at home."
Nino Cimino
Actor, Producer, Director
"The CommercialActing course we completed at your studio boosted our confidence to go out there and audition successfully as Bob did by booking two national commercials within the year of working with you. The environment at the commercial acting workshop was relaxed yet organized. I was especially suited to some comedic pieces you gave me to perform. You are intuitive in pairing actors with work that is good for them but also can challenge."
