Meet Michelle

Michelle has a true gift for pulling great performances out of her students. Her passion for acting and coaching is so refreshing. She wants all her actors to have a holistic approach to the craft so we learn a lot about the creative and business sides of acting. I'm so happy to have found Sherrill Actors Studio and I promise you will be too!

Michelle Sherrill has been an absolutely fantastic acting coach. I started working with her a little over a year ago and she has helped me to stretch and grow as an actor. Her teaching style is very interactive and personal and I love the time she takes with each student to help them dig deeper into themselves and deliver their most organic and truthful performance. She combines teaching ability with humor, fun, energy, and knowledge and I always look forward to attending class on a weekly basis. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking an acting coach that is not only a brilliant teacher but also an actor working in the business. She understands the actor’s journey and truly cares about her students.

Michelle Sherrill is an incredible acting coach and seasoned actress who truly goes to bat for her students. We train across film, TV, and commercial work, and she makes sure we’re prepared with real-world skills and confidence. Thanks to her support, I’ve signed with an agent and she consistently puts us in the room with agents and casting directors. She shares audition opportunities, keeps us updated on industry news, and offers honest, actionable feedback. Michelle also creates standout experiences like table reads for the Dallas International Film Festival and an annual Oscars-style awards show that’s judged by actual agents to celebrate student achievements. If you’re serious about growing as an actor, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

I've been working with Michelle for a year and half and she is just wonderful. She is knowledgeable, skilled, funny, and she really advocates for her actors. She keeps a very professional environment and hold us to professional standards. I've made a lot of connections and gotten a lot of opportunities through Michelle's class, not to mention that I've become a much better actor. You get plenty of attention in class, prices are low compared to other studios around her, and if you'll put in the work, you can really grow.

I've just recently begun taking classes here, but I can tell this studio is going to be instrumental in my growth as an actor. Michelle clearly cares about each and every student, and jumps at every opportunity to put in the extra work to help them succeed in their careers. I am very impressed with the time that Michelle takes with each actor, diving in deep and getting to the roots of the scene work. I feel like that is something that other studios I've taken classes in or audited have a hard time doing. That level of detail and fine tuning is something I've been missing in the film industry as someone who got their start in theatre. I always loved being able to find new layers and new moments every time we worked a scene. I highly recommend this studio.
