Nothing short of a wonderful experience, since choosing Heather and Connie to support my son’s modeling & acting career with the necessary training and practice sessions they provide. Who knew at just 3 years old he would pack so much information. From no experience 6 months ago to seemingly being a professional. Big thank you from our family to D & A Talent.

We sent in Raelyn’s pictures not knowing what we were getting ourselves into and she got into D&A! She had no experience whatsoever in modeling/acting but with the help of Ms. Connie and Ms. Heather, Raelyn has… gained so much experience! She got to learn what it’s like to memorize a commercial, monologue and a scene. She got to work with an amazing photographer, Steve. She has really come out of her shell and has learned to express herself in her work. She was blessed to be apart of the industry network recently and all her hard work and the coaching she’s had was

My daughter Payson has been working with D&A for months now and has really grown both as a model and actor. Their coaching is top notch. They are constantly setting their talent up for success. Payson… recently participated in the Industry event and had the opportunity to present a monologue, commercials, scene study and photos in front of some of the top managers and agents in the country. This would not have happened without the partnership with D&A. Not only does D&A help you they set you up for success by getting you the right scripts and the rights shots for headshots. They

These people will get money out of poor people and don’t help them at all . There is a woman I recommended , this lady in question struggling to make life . She paid and there was nothing like coaching. Absolutely nothing. She paid that money for free and I mean just like scammers. I regretted why I recommended her there .

I brought my son Carter to an open audition in 2020, he got a callback and at that time we decided to not move forward. I was skeptical and wanting to make sure my son was 110% ready to dive into this. After following D&A on Instagram and Facebook for a year, we decided to go back for another audition. When we walked in, I was surprised that they had remembered Carter! I explained to them how I wasn’t ready last year because I wanted to make sure they were legit and Carter was serious about becoming an actor. Connie and Heather were both SO understanding! They never made me feel bad for taking

My daughter, Theresa, started coaching with D&A Talent in June. When she auditioned to be a part of their team, they were upfront and honest that they offered coaching services, for a fee, to develop and market her as a talent in the industry, and give her opportunities to audition with national agents on a monthly basis. Connie, Heather, and… Scott are a very cohesive team and care about this family they create. Theresa already has callbacks from two national agents, and she is going to LA to be part of the Industry Network team in January 2020, but what caught our eye the most in what

Zoey started at D&A in January 2019. She had been modeling and even had an agency, but she needed something. I’ve never been in the industry and aside from attending the casting calls and she’s been on and jobs she’s had, I had never been around the industry. Connie and Heather have really upped her game! Since starting at D&A, she has blossomed as… a model, booked several amazing jobs, and her poise and confidence have skyrocketed. She loves going to class, seeing her friends, Heather and Connie, and of course, Khloe! And as a parent I have learned so much about

I personally did not like my experience. Should be straight forward with the clients and not have us go through all whole process to only know at the end that there is a minimum of $500 payment to be part of your company. I understand that everything is an investment, but the way I was treated when I called back was not very welcoming. All she… wanted to know was about the money and not about how I felt that I could not be apart since I am currently unemployed and cannot afford classes. I was told that the call back was supposed to give me feedbacks on how I did, but that was not even mentioned

Best place ever!!!!! to be honest I was really scare when I start all this adventure for my son, but as soon we walked in to this place I felt something different, is not about the money, is not about just work, NOT at all! they truly care about you and treat you like a family, even after you finish with them, they still follow you and care about what you doing. I could not have a better place for my son to be coach, specially by Scott, Heather and Connie! well and Kloe (doggie) ;P. Love my D&A family! 😍😍😍

I have been part of the D&A family since I was 14 and it has taught me so many things and helped me grow as a person. D&A gave me confidence, leadership skills, public speaking skill and taught me how to work with a team. I would highly recommend D&A not only to pursue your dreams but to learn so much useful skills! Thank you D&A for everything you taught me! 😊

I really loved acting and I didn't really know where to start training and how to start my acting career. When I found out about D&A talent I immediately picked up the phone and called them to get myself signed up for classes. Their acting classes are so much fun, the coaches are really awesome and super helpful. Even Though D&A talent is not an agency they still have agents that fly in from L.A just to come to D&A talent. D&A talent puts you in front of agents and helps you learn more about acting they are so awesome!! I really recommend taking classes here!

My daughter Sydnie has been with D&A for 9 months. When she first joined she was a very shy girl who barely said anything. She just came back from the IN Network where she won 9 awards including teen star of the year. The amount of confidence she gained at D&A was huge. Connie, Heather, Scott and Rachelle are the best and truly care and want the success for every talent! The knowledge and technique she gained from the classes allowed her to showcase her personality and talent at the IN Network. We love our D&A family! Mollie

My daughter has been a part of D&A for two years. We are pleased with the services D&A has provided. D&A is NOT an agency. What D&A does do is provide opportunities to meet with agencies and managers from both the twin cities and Los Angeles. D&A also provides many different types of classes and workshops. These are unique, very few places in MN provide safe and worthwhile learning options. Connie and Heather have helped open doors for my child. She now has an LA agent and manager and an impressive resume. D&A is definitely worth the investment.

My daughter Leah signed on with D&A Talent in March of 2017 since then she has loved all the experience she is gaining. The staff is extremely professional and knowledgeable, from the moment you step into D & A Talent in Edina MN you know that this is the real deal. Leah has had the opportunity to audition for Agents and Casting Directors. She always wanted to pursue a career in the entertainment industry we just did not know where to begin. We are so grateful and appreciative that we found D & A Talent and would recommend them to parents and potential clients.

We have been with D&A Talent for two months. My daughter has gained confidence and leadership skills. She loves going to class every week. We have enjoyed working with all the staff, especially Heather, her coach. There have been many opportunities for auditions with local and national agencies. We would strongly recommend D&A Talent.
