About With Daniel
Hello, welcome to Daniel DeWeldon's Acting Studios. I have been teaching theatrical studies and acting career consultation for 15 years both privately and scene study workshops in Los Angeles and New York. I am a professional working actor and writer (SAG-AFTRA, AEA unions) in film, tv, and stage with 20 years experience. Please see my bio below and website: (concealed information) and Wikipedia: (concealed information)
After completing a six-year masters program in Theatrical Arts under Uta Hagen, Howard Fine, and Michael Arabian, I presented myself to the Actors Studio and garnered the title of Lifetime Member under Al Pacino, Lou Antonio, Barbara Bain, Martin Landau, Mark Rydell, Ellen Burstyn, and Harvey Keitel.
I have won over 40 top Critics' Choice and featured on NPR for outstanding acting performance. Notable published reviews have likened my performances to Marlon Brando, James Dean, and Daniel Craig.
In addition, I have completed an apprenticeship with renowned Sam Christensen, where the focus was on the power of branding for the actor. The curriculum is based on the works of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell's "The Power of Myth".
I am a past 20-year member of The Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Los Angeles mentoring program for children.
Presently I am represented by Amsel, Eisenstadt, Frazier & Hinojosa, Inc. - AEFH Pinnacle Talent and Barry Krost at BKM Management as a professional actor and writer. (concealed information)
I find being able to help students reach their goals and aspirations within the craft of acting is a wonderful feeling. A student that gains perspective and builds a foundation of skills and tools to have at their disposal is paramount. Recounting my own successes and achievements through my professional experience excites me to be able to pass on that knowledge.
You are as a good an actor as you are a person in life. It takes courage and vulnerability to open your heart (I recommend starting in a safe, creative environment). Discover your mythos: are you a superhero, are you a villain, are you a victim? Once you determine your mythos, market your entire artistic being around it starting with your headshots and demo reel. Then use your mythos to seek those roles, as they will keep you working. For example, ask how your friends and family perceive you. How do strangers view you when you walk into a room? Be specific – are you a snobby or humble superhero, are you a smart or thug villain, are you a strong or a weak victim?
Upon competion of interview, either student choose private coaching or scene study workshop. I also offer skype classes.
I am a lifetime member of The Actors Studio. I have completed a 6-year masters program in theatrical studies from HB Studios with Uta Hagan, Howard Fine and Michael Arabian. In addition, I have 20 years working experience as a professional actor in film, tv, and theater. I completed course study with Sam Christensen on the works of Carl Jung and Joesph's Campbell's, "The Power of Myth" that was used to develop George Lucas's "Star Wars".
About the lesson
- All levels
- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
An interview by phone, skype or in person.
I have worked with beginning actors up to working professional actors. I have coached one on one for major feature films, tv, and theatrical auditions.
My first words of advice to a student is to make their priority to be sure the teacher and the student have a compatable chemistry, and that the teacher has their best interest at heart to give the student a safe place to explore themselves and the craft of acting.
An event that I am most fond of is the auditioning process in mainstream Hollywood. Seeing that auditioning is a craft in of itself, a feat to be mastered on its own. Preparation makes for an opportunity to be met with great repetition and eventually spontaneous creativity.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What are the teacher's credentials?
What are the theatrical study goals of the student?
What are the career goals of the student?
What are the student's experiences and expectations from their teacher?

"De Weldon shows us how horrific it is to be human, the terror of being alive and immeasurable wound and scar of life, and its concomitant tolerance, constitution, will and perseverance, creation, monstrous, delicate and divine... Genesis"
-Ryan Cutrona, Actor (Mad Men, Changeling, In The Line of Fire)"Daniel de Weldon... creates and accomplishes the miraculous, de Weldon is a member of the legendary Actors Studio and shows."
— Top Critic Steven Stanley
"Initially and damn effectively, Daniel de Weldon is a blunt force instrument, to borrow the phrase with which M labeled Daniel Craig's newly minted 007 Bond. de Weldon's transformation was magnificent in his tentative attempts of intimacy and tenderness."
— Top Critic James Scarborough
of The Huffington Post"Daniel de Weldon finds an arresting stillness, gorgeously performed. Deeply inhabited on a moment to moment basis, turbulently affecting and robust performance."
— Top Critic Charlotte Stoudt, Los Angeles Times
"As affecting as any of William’s female leads
Mr. de Weldon’s performance as Lot is particularly moving."
— Patricia Foster Rye
"Father Braulio of the Inquisition, effectively and menacingly portrayed by Daniel de Weldon. It was a tour de force performance with bouts of religious ecstasy and erotic fantasy."
— Ellyse Cooke
"Daniel de Weldon's well portrayed, demanding performance that draws approving laughs from the empathetic audience."
— M. Rutherford
The other two actors here, are finely skilled, but they are merely acting. We begin to wonder whether de Weldon is merely acting, not reassured by his nearly spectral bows at the play’s end.
— Top Critic Dany Margolies
"de Weldon sat staring into space playing out Shanley's Apache dance with scrupulous honesty and attention to the details, unfolding in the ebbs and flows of real time... live-wire performance... was the art and craft of being... it matters because it's so rare when they get it so right."
— Chief Critic Steven Leigh Morris, LA Weekly & LA Stage Alliance
"High-octane talent... Daniel de Weldon brought gritty authenticity... had me admiring the performances. To its considerable credit was deeply inhabited on a moment-to-moment basis by de Weldon."
—Chief Critic Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times
"...stagecraft de Weldon plies flawlessly... Theatergoers who care about fine acting should likewise attend the production for the unearthly performance of Daniel de Weldon."
— Top Critic Dany Margolies, Drama Critics Circle Los Angeles
Daniel DeWeldon's performance in my first feature is brilliant, dangerous, hilarious, and so unpredictable that when he is on screen, you don't dare leave the room for fear of missing out on something truly touching or misanthropically devious. He could put you on the edge of your seat just by reading the ingredients of a cereal box. He understands the material in front of him, circumvents any obstacles in the text and... boom... things explode off the page. I truly believe this actor can infuse the same rare ingredient that Christopher Walken provided for dozens of classic films. Director/Writer - A.Y. Miles
As a selfish director, I'm reluctant to share this review. When you find a brilliant talent like Daniel DeWeldon you want him all to your self. From the moment I first met Daniel for his audition all the way through the shoot he was prepared, professional, and fully committed to bringing his character to life. As a director, I look for talent, sincerity, layered performance, and depth. While it's rare to find this in actors it's even rarer to find someone like Daniel who has these qualities, as well as being professional, disciplined, and eager to collaborate. We explored several different approaches to his performance, and he managed to offer shades and dimensions that I hadn't thought of. He brings a great, connective energy to the set. I've seen a lot of actors who are only concerned with their own performance, sometimes even taking away from others. Daniel has the maturity and generosity as an actor to elevate the actors he works with and gives so much to the relationships on screen. As a result, the entire cast benefits from his work. He is a singular talent and I look forward to many more projects with him.
Director Adam Skelter - Writer/Director/Story Artist
(Adam has worked as a screenwriter, director, and story artist for both major and independent production studios in film, television, and games, including Tandem Motion Pictures, Dreamworks, Warner Brothers, Nickelodeon, Sony Superbot, Cartoon Network, Paramount, Marvel, Green Gas Mask Productions, Lost Tribe Entertainment, among others. A CalArts graduate, Adam has lived abroad, studying writing and visual art in Florence, Italy, Paris, France, and Guanajuato, Mexico. He also taught story structure, dramatic theory, as well as painting and story art at California Institute of the Arts.)I have directed Daniel DeWeldon in multiple critically acclaimed productions since 1999, both in theater and film. He is best described as brilliantly unpredictable in every role I have directed him in. His understanding of character is exceptional as he embodies how to not play the end in the beginning within the story. Daniel unfolds character in ways that every director could hope for from their actors. He has a great ability to hide the character's deepest motivations until it becomes an exciting climatic surprise when the audience least expects it, further drawing you into the theme of the story. Daniel is a true entertainer. His talented performances for me are reminiscent of Montgomery Clift and Marlon Brando.
