" I knew from the moment I met Dan that we would work together so well. His deep knowledge, paired with his genuine care and empathy for his students, makes him an outstanding acting coach. Over the past few years, the progress I’ve made with him has not only elevated my screen work but also strengthened my musical theatre performances. His positive reinforcement and go-getter attitude makes every lesson fun and enjoyable. When anyone asks me, I will always recommend Dan to actors looking at honing in on their skills. He’s the best."
Tim Paige (MTC, Bell Shakespeare, Pop-Up Globe)
"Dan has created a space with the perfect mix of humour and rigour. He knows what to say to actors to make their work come alive and leaves you feeling a session empowered and hungry to improve."

"Daniel Cosgrove has all the trademarks of a phenomenal teacher and mentor – he is extremely knowledgeable and wise in matters of acting and industry, and his passion for the craft is infectious. Beyond that, he is also an unrelentingly generous and empathetic person who is constantly striving to help his students thrive. Thanks to Dan I am a more playful, motivated, self-secure and unguarded actor, and I now have a fulfilling and lasting career that I love."
Abbey Hutcheon, WAAPA Graduate
"DCO studios is easily one of the best acting studios for working actors, new grads or anyone serious about improving their craft. Dan personalises his style of teaching according to each clients goals and style of learning and fosters a safe creative environment which champions the successes of each actor building up confident and capable actors. It’s more than acting techniques and filming tapes, it’s the craft, the creative, the business, the whole thing. Cannot recommend Dan and DCO studios enough. "
Mara Kremmidiotis, Flunk
"When I first came to the DCO studio I was feeling super overwhelmed with having just finished drama school and not knowing how to enter the industry. One-on-one coaching with Dan helped me to find more confidence in my acting ability and improve my screen acting skills. With his guidance I was able to land a lead role in my first feature film!"
Jake Ameduri (Sister Act, American Psycho, Elder Graduate)
"Daniel Cosgrove excels as an acting teacher. He excels in allowing his students to grow by motivating and maturing them as an actor. Thanks to him, I have allowed to see acting on a new nuanced level that not only gives more of a sense of professionalism but an aspect of play and enjoyment."
