About Daren D.

I am a professional actor, dancer, voiceover artist, editor, personal trainer, disc jockey (17+ years), and promotional marketer. Graduating from Pennsylvania State University in 2013, I studied labor employment studies with a law focus and minored in film/theatre. I have a very diverse skill set and take every opportunity to teach my students with patience, enthusiasm, and an attention to detail. Recently, my TV credits have included co-starring roles on The Daily Show (Comedy Central), The Blacklist (NBC), and Blue Bloods (CBS). Since 2016, I have been the voice of a national Velveeta and Rotel ad campaign, and my voiceover experience extends to the world of video games and anime. I also starred in a sci-fi series pilot for DirecTV, currently in post-production. Using my editing skills, I create content for a new travel vlog and video gaming channel (Remie D Gaming on You Tube), creating professional travel videos, original video game-related comedic memes, and a personal look at my fun social experiences. As an actor and voiceover artist, I frequently update my marketing materials including demo reels, websites, and social media. Doing so requires a fundamental knowledge of various editing programs such as Adobe Premiere Elements and Adobe Photoshop Elements. I present actual examples of what is possible using these programs and how to immediately apply the principles I teach to your projects at home or business. For whatever you need, I look forward to helping you bring out your best personal results!
