Dearing Acting Studio Podcast

Welcome back to the Dearing Acting Studio Podcast.

In improv, one careless line can completely derail a scene. The same is true in real life. We often talk to fill silence, react to thoughts that aren’t even true, and say things we wish we could take back—but can’t.

In this episode, Matthew Dearing and Joey Sweeney break down a simple but powerful framework used in acting class:

If you’ve ever said something and immediately regretted it… this episode is for you.

After a five-year pause, the Dearing Acting Studio Podcast is back.

In this return episode, Matthew Dearing and Joey Sweeney sit down for an honest conversation about why the podcast stopped, what changed during the break, and how growth often comes from the seasons we did not expect.

This episode is about more than catching up. It is a real-world conversation about personal growth, faith, leadership, mindset, and the people we allow to speak into our lives. Matt and Joey reflect on the importance of choosing your influences wisely, knowing who to listen to, and being careful about where you go for advice, encouragement, and direction.

Whether you are an actor, artist, entrepreneur, student, parent, or simply someone trying to grow, this conversation is a reminder that who you surround yourself with matters. The voices you trust shape your choices, your confidence, your relationships, and ultimately the person you are becoming.

Welcome back to the podcast. We are grateful to be on the mic again.

Welcome back to another episode of Mornings with Matt season 2.

Today our focus is how to be led by spirit instead of emotion. Diving too deep into emotions can lead us down an unsteady path if we aren't careful. When we make decisions based on what we're feeling instead of hyper-analyzing, you'll find that often times you aren't "proud" of the way you reacted.

Todays segments are:

1) Understand feelings and emotions by getting to the root

2) Using Emotional Truth as an actor

3) Get off the emotional rollercoaster
