Review of Professional Actors Studio

After years working in stage productions in Austra...

After years working in stage productions in Australia and London, I recently returned to Atlanta with the aspiration of joining SAG and working in the ever growing TV and film industry in the city I grew up in more than 25 years ago. After weeks of research as to which working actors studio to join, I audited a class and attended a showcase of performances from the actors under Nick's teams tutelage. To say I was blown away by the quality of the work brought by the wonderfully talented actors in this studio is a gross understatement. I knew immediately this is where I wanted to be - needless to say I auditioned with Nick soon after. For the last three months, I have had the absolute pleasure of working with Nick in his advanced weekly class and with Jason in improv. The experience has been immensely rewarding, and if I'm honest - challenging. Each week I am challenged to confront and overcome any fears, blocks and weaknesses in the safest of environments, resulting in huge leaps forward in the work I am producing. I feel I am more than ready to attack the market in Atlanta and am up to my ears in the process of building my portfolio of work to begin the hunt for representation and auditions. Thank you Nick Conti for reigniting my dream, and giving me the confidence to pursue it! I am and will continue to be forever grateful.
