Professional Actor's Studio

🚨NEW CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS!🚨

We are thrilled to be offering three new classes and workshops for Atlanta actors to take their training to the next level:

1. IMPROV with Tim Stoltenberg

Improv training is an absolute must in the industry these days (especially for commercials), and there is no one better to teach you the ropes than Tim Stoltenberg! Not only is Tim the acting Artistic Director of Dad's Garage here in Atlanta, but he also brings credentials as a former touring member of Second City Chicago. This class will give you the tools you need to think on your feet in any situation, audition or otherwise - and we guarantee it will be a whole lot of fun!

2. WRITERS' BOOT CAMP with Jeff Cole

Jeff brings a decade and a half of experience in the screenwriting industry to this class, which is designed to teach you to write a feature-length script that you can produce on a manageable budget. This class meets over 6 sessions, and not only will you walk away with plenty of your own work that you can develop, writers will also have the opportunity to have scenes from their screenplays read by actors in our Advanced class.

3. ACTORS' TACTICAL TRAINING with Scott Oakley

Actors in this special class—offered now for the first time in the Studio’s history—will experience a jam-packed two days of training in valuable firearm and hand-to-hand combat techniques.

Instructor Scott Oakley has designed the course not for the aspiring stuntperson, but, rather, for actors who wish to expand their casting possibilities. Many roles in action films and TV shows require knowledge of and comfort with the handling of fi****ms and the ability to project fighting expertise; and without those competencies, you are ineligible for those parts!

Call us at (404)943-1873 or visit our website at www.proactorsstudio.com to register. Spaces in all of these classes are going fast, so don't hesitate to sign up!

Founded by Nick Conti, the studio offers on-going classes for actors of all ages and experience levels!

When working with emotions. Remember to let them play out. Try not to plan them out too much, label them, or shut them down. What ever shows up, let it play out and see how it feels. Don’t stop the emotional locomotive. Trust and see what happens. For more information on emotional recall work talk to myself, or any of the instructors at the Professional Actor’s Studio. Keep up the good work! 🤙🏼🎭
