The Westin Jackson and The Dean West Acting Studio team up! About a week or so ago The Dean West Acting Studio joined up with The Westin Jackson in Mississippi.  We thought it would be a great fit since they were named after us.

Judging scene as we see it.

Judging a scene as we see it. We tend to judge scene work as we see life, not as the script gives us.  We always want to trust our instincts when reading a scene, but I think it is always helpful to take a step back and see what a different point of view could look like. You have heard before that "life is not how it is, but life is how we see it".  Like I have said in previous blogs, if we … [Read more...] about Judging scene as we see it.

Morning Rituals Welcome to Part 2 of Win The morning   you can click on here to read Part 1. We all have things we like to do in the mornings.  Humans are creatures of habit.  We create habitual behavior.  We get up on the same side of the bed every morning.  We start the coffee pot, we use the restroom, read the paper, brush our teeth, etc., etc., etc.  You get it, we develop habits in life; … [Read more...] about Win The Morning Part 2 – Morning Rituals

Morning Mashup – Live your life for you, no one else.

Live your life for you. Mistakes are ok! Life can become so much about other people's opinions, experiences, and we don't even realize it. We shape our entire world on other people's experiences and opinions of life. We are shaped growing up by learned or reactionary behavior that eventually just becomes every day life... To not give a flying Fidget spinner, about what people think of you is … [Read more...] about Morning Mashup – Live your life for you, no one else.

Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife, best frien Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife, best friend, and ride or die—though hopefully it never comes to that 🤷🏻‍♂️.

15 years ago today, we said “I do.” Michelle’s came out more like a question, but in her defense, our priest had a speech impediment.

Life isn’t always what you expect. It can get hard. But when you’ve got someone you love and trust by your side, nothing life throws at you really matters.

Every bit of pain or pleasure is better with you next to me. I love you, Mich. And I look forward to every tomorrow with you and our little psycho ❤️❤️❤️

No. You don’t have to have acting class to succ No.  You don’t have to have acting class to succeed….. BUT…. Acting class isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s where you sharpen your craft, learn a shared vocabulary, and build skills to speak the same language as your peers. Even if you think you don’t need it, having a strong foundation ensures you’re ready to bring your best to any role. 🎭✨ Let’s keep growing together!

AI is getting scary good. But here’s the thing — we already couldn’t tell what was real. Now it’s about to get even messier.
Be cautious. Don’t send money just because a voice or face looks familiar. Don’t trust every headline. Don’t click every link.
The world’s about to get wacky — keep your eyes open and your instincts sharper. 🧠⚡️
