Dawnnie Mercado has been a professional actor and acting coach for over 25 years. Originally from Los Angeles, she spent 13 unforgettable years in New York City, including the years spent earning her Master of Fine Arts in Acting from the prestigious Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.
She vividly remembers the day they told the MFA students it was time to choose their professional names. She chose Mercado-in honor of the best grandfather in the world.
Her TV career has included roles opposite Tyne Daly, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Rick Schroder, to name a few. Favorite TV credit? Strong Medicine-an out-of-body experience where she had her life "saved" by Dr. Rick Schroder. Onstage, her favorite role remains Lucy in Dracula.
Now based in Tehachapi, California, Dawnnie's home overflows with toys, her husband, her beloved daughter (born later in life and her everything), and a successfully blended dog pack of a German Shepherd, Chihuahua, and Boxer Terrier/Pitbull.
She loves all things Shakespeare and is the proud owner of Dawnnie Mercado, LLC and TADA Acting Studio. Guided by her personal mantra to always give back to the artists of tomorrow, she continues to shine in both education and entertainment through her growing presence on YouTube.
