Dearing Acting Studio Podcast: Don’t Fill the Silence: Why Every Word Matters
Welcome back to the Dearing Acting Studio Podcast.
Today’s episode dives into one of the most overlooked skills in both acting and life: being accountable for every word you say.
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:
How to “fill the box” with better options before you speak. How to filter your thoughts through what’s actually true. Why saying less often gives you more control. And how your words shape the reality you’re living in
If you’ve ever said something and immediately regretted it… this episode is for you.
Master your life through the craft of acting.

Dearing Acting Studio Podcast Returns: Growth, Mindset, and Who You Listen To
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.
