Professional Actors Studio Review

So much I have learned in the few months I've been here. I really enjoy being in class with Jason for Improv and with Angela for On Camera acting. Definitely take classes at this studio to become a full-fledged actor!

I ve been at the studio about 3 months and have been training with Scott O. I have grown already so much in this amount of time Affordable & well worth it. Plenty of feedback substantial teaching and opportunity here. It s something i look forward to every Sunday. Highly recommend!

The staff is very concerned and helpful with their student. They do all they can to help students perform at their best. They challenge their student to compete for the opportunity to perform in front of agents, casting directors and producers.

I started as a student in Nicks advanced class over 3 yrs ago after a break from acting and the biz. I immediately found my passion for the craft and my love of performing again! Nick is so skilled at preparing actors to make the strongest choices, in an honest and grounded way. He prepares you for auditioning and booking work period! He also makes it FUN...Nick has passed the baton to me and I've had the pleasure of teaching classes at Nicks studio for almost 2 yrs myself. All in all its been an amazing opportunity and experience for me personally to study with Nick and teach!!
Come audit a class a see for yourself:)

Been here for almost a year now and have gotten to work with almost all the teachers. Every one of them brings something different to the table and they are all great people to work with. Would definitely recommend

I sat in for an audit in March. I had audited a few classes in the Atlanta area but decided on this class based on the really good reviews. I was not disappointed! I audited the advanced class and was stunned by some of the talent! Amazing to say the least. Nick was outstanding and was very personable and warm hearted. I loved the energy of the class and cannot wait to go back! Loved every minute of it! I hope to aspire to be as good as some of his students! He even stayed after to help a classmate with an audition preperation. Out of all the audits I did, Nick is by far the best in town! Check him out you won t regret it!

I just began training at The Pro Actors Studio. It has been a great introduction to the profession. Everyone is so welcoming and are working actors. The instructors are on point.

I love going to class! It is always a wonderful and inspiring experience.

Nick really knows how to bring the truth out of an actor. He keeps it real. Some teachers will stroke your ego and tell you everything is expectable. He knows the business and knows that directors and producers don t just expect ok. Nick will bring out the best in you

Best classes in Atlanta for the professional actor or any actor who wants to really hone in on their craft. Nick and his people really focus on supporting each actor to keep reaching and learning.

I just started and I have already learned so much. The teachers really know there stuff and everyone is so supportive.

I've been attending this studio for 5 months now and I just have to say how impressed I am with how much it has challenged me to push myself as an actress. Nick knows what he's talking about! Trust yourself and trust the process! Also I appreciate how EVERY class he makes sure that everyone has a mask, does temperature checks and makes sure that everyone is spaced out due to covid!

Exceptional experience. The instructors are very well trained and genuinely fun to learn from. I would highly recommend taking classes here if you live in the Atlanta area. I d give 6 stars if I could. Jeff Cole is the man, I d recommend taking him.

This is a great community!!!! Comfortable learning environment

Joining Scott Oakley begginers class was the best decision
I've made pertaining to my acting career. It's honest hard work that not only
Improves my acting abilities but expands my knowledge of self! I highly recommend try for a month at least since one class audit is helpful but does not cannot fully encompass the benefits of the program both professionally and personally. Michael T

The experience and knowledge gained in this place are priceless. I feel like I learned a lot in a quite a short amount of time I ve been here, and I absolutely love it.

You have nothing to loose and everything to gain at Professional Actor s Studio. Nick is a total professional with a natural gift to pull never before explored emotions from an actor. The best I ve experienced thus far.

As most creatives know, getting into the art of acting is a rough road like most artistic fields. One of the biggest things that caught my attention in my FREE audit of Nick Conti's class in 2015 was how much I felt at home in his studio. They made me feel like family in a room full of strangers before the class even started. Once the class got rolling I realized how family like it could be. From the honest critics to the open relationships the actors had with their classmates and coach, and even the way the critics were given and received. Not too harsh where it came off mean but very direct. There was nothing held back but the explanation and approach gave you the sense it was from a warm place. AND the actors whether just starting or continuing their craft took everything they were given and put forth 110% on each performance. Not to mention I've literally taken class with every teacher aside from the teens class and though they all teach in different styles, I thoroughly enjoyed every one of them (obviously) and have been taking class with them ever since. From beginner to intermediate and ongoing with "Uncle Nick" son! lol

I have sat in class many times and watchd the incredible growth of the actors in the studio from beginners to Advanced .I've also seen the wonderful actors showcases and improv shows. What a wonderful job my husband has done in the Atlanta market for the past 20 years!!

Finished my 16 hours Tactical Firearms / weapon training today with Scott Oakley at the studio , It was so dope went in completely clueless & came out feeling like a Champ , another great accomplishment on my acting resume. The class itself was mainly about how to handle firearms & OUR SAFETY , yet it was so much fun I loved every second of it , really dope experience!!! I m excited:)

I can't believe how experienced all the teachers are! I think they're all over 25 yrs of experience. Cudos

I have learned so much from being at this studio for almost a year now. Nick taught me all the information to get me started : all the different techniques and technical parts to acting/auditioning/performing. Then, Scott pushed me even harder in intermediate classes. I have greatly improved and still continue to do so every day. I am so glad I decided to come to this studio.

Never before have i been to a place so excepting of the unique and emotional features that make a person who they are, Or what others may look at as different or weird on the " outside world" ; That is until I had my first day of class with Nick Conti . Here you're taught in advance that this in a judgement free zone which allows you to come into this space of excepting oneself and inevitably pushing you to become a better Actor . These are life lessons learned here at Nick Conti's Professional Actor's Studio . So Thankful for the teachings from Nick Conti & Angela Davis.

This is my first time taking professional acting classes and I am so glad I took recommendations to join Nick and his team of very talented teachers. Very hands on learning all the necessary tools needed to improve in your craft. Classes are small enough for good interaction and practice time. Love this place and definitely intend on continuing taking my acting classes here.

I like this studio because it is specifically for working actors and helps you get the tools you need to succeed in the business. They consistently challenge me and the professors are blunt and tell you what you need to hear. Definitely visit this studio and check it out for yourself! Nick is super nice also.

I ve been in this studio for almost a year. I ve learned so much between all the teachers here. This studio is very professional and provides many opportunities. If you can join and give it a try you won t regret it.

If you are serious about acting, this is the place you want to be. The studio's teachers have so much professional acting experience. Nick Conti brings in major names to the studio so that you can showcase your talent and network. All the teachers are great! Angela's classes are awesome. She keeps it real and makes sure that you understand the essentials of acting. I definitely know that I am growing with this studio.

Highly experienced staff. An excellent learning environment, to push my acting limits, and grow more each class.

Jeff Cole is an amazing instructor. The level of service he provides is tailored to each actor s specific need. We all look forward to Monday evenings because the class is enjoyable. Although we have a great time, Jeff is about business. He makes sure we, as pupils get our money s worth!

I ve grown incredibly as an actor in my short time being at this school! Love this place!

I started taking classes in April of 2013. And in less than a year, I found an amazing agent and booked an industrial! I know that my good fortune has so much to do with studying with Nick Conti's Pro Actor's Studio. The classes are packed full of lessons and techniques as well as industry information. The teachers are working actors and thus provide a wealth of knowledge for the students. If you're looking for a great place to hone your craft, this is the place for you!

Great place, I ve been here for a month and I love it here.

I love my improv class with Matt Cornwell. He creates a safe space for me to take risks and express honestly and gives feedback in a way that inspires me to improve. Attentive, generous and clearly loves what he does. A highlight of my week.

I have attended class for 3 months now. I must say it is a great investment! My teacher is an actor with so much knowledge and if you listen to what he says and apply yourself you will see results. So if you're looking for somewhere to educate & practice this is the perfect place!

Jeff's great. Really helping develop my craft. Audited a class then took the leap!

This studio has become home to me. I love studying here. All of the teachers I have worked with are phenomenal and keep it real. If you are serious about your acting career this is a place where you can grow and develop.

This review is well deserving and long overdue to my teacher Nick Conti and The Professional Actors Studio team. I had been a member of the studio since Nick started out back at his home and decided to recently return, because I missed his teaching for one knew it would be the best place to continue stretching myself as an actress. I learned so much about the craft and about myself when I started. Nick Conti's ethics of teaching, challenges you and brings out the best to do and give your best as an actor. He prepares you in every way possible for stage, television, improv etc, with huge opportunities to meet and perform in front of top agents here and around the world. I want to hone in on my craft with continuing in my classes with The Professional Actors Studio.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced actor, you will learn so much at this studio. Nick Conti is an amazing teacher. Break a leg!

Great acting school the best acting school in 22 years

Nick has done an amazing job at creating a studio where the teachers are passionate about helping students learn about acting and themselves. Whether you're an experienced actor looking to sharpen your skills, or a working stiff who's always wanted to give acting a shot, there's no better place in Atlanta than Nick's studio.

I have done several sessions with Nick Conti and he does a great job providing performance feedback and gives industry insider tips how to nail an audition. Fully recommend.

As a working actor from Los Angeles I searched several local acting schools in Atlanta and Nick Conti's Professional Acting Studio is by far the closest thing to hollywood training in the Southeast. I highly recommend training here to elevate your acting skills to next level to remain a working tv / film actor. Thanks Nick i'm loving scene study classes with you

This acting studio will challenge you, in a positive aspect, and you will learn what your strengths and weaknesses are in acting (even with your personal self). I have to admit when I took my first acting class here I was nervous, scared, and excited all at once; however, I walked away with an immense feeling of gratitude and perseverance due to the fact that the Professional Actor's Studio and its' instructors provide an environment for you to learn and make mistakes. Nick gives you professional feedback and the necessary tools to learn and grow as an actor. The learning experience is great here and not to mention a challenge and a whole lot of fun.

Love this place!! Jeff is the best teacher ever!!! Learning so much!! Ty Nick Conti!!!

I have been coming to Nick's beginning class on Thursday and it has been very informative. He is a passionate teacher that wants to see you grow as a actor. I would tell anybody that want to act to check him out.

I attended Nicki Conti's Pro Actors Studio over 10+ years ago (14 to be exact) and I still remember the training I received. However, life caught up with me and I had to take a hiatus from the whole acting scene. Well, I decided (after timing, different acting classes abroad) that it was time for me to get in the game and I choose Nick Conti's school (and yes I do my research and it starts from the time the receiver on the phone greets me). Nick really makes you feel like you matter and gives you that individual attention even from a phone call. I want a teacher/school that values my goals and will make me feel comfortable in what I want to accomplish. I look forward to learning and growing with these professional actors and teachers.

I have attended Nick Conti s studio for 2 years and it has been great! I take Matt Skollar s class and he s a great coach! I have also taken classes from Scott and Angela! They are all great coaches who are great at both pushing you and encouraging you! I highly recommend going and taking a class! Nick is awesome and knows the industry, he makes the studio a second home and makes a comfortable environment for opening up and working on your craft!

Not only have I loved my instructor and his method but the skills he has pulled out of me and how much I feel I have grown since I've been with the studio is phenomenal. I HIGHLY recommend you make a smart move and study here!!!

If you want to learn and master the craft of acting while continuously being challenged, then this is an acting studio you want to be a part of.

All of the teachers are actors themselves and have years of experience and knowledge about the craft and industry. I've had the opportunity to be apart Franco's beginning class, Nick's intermediate and Matt's Improv class. Every class has been a joyous challenge and I look forward to class every week. I've learned so much about technique and pushing myself beyond my comfort level.

I enrolled my 16-year old granddaughter, Katelyn, in the Teens class and she loves it! She speaks highly of her instructor, Valerie LeBlanc, who encourages each student and connects well with her class. Katelyn looks forward to class each week where she's not only honing her acting skills, but she's also gaining self-confidence in public speaking. The communication skills she's learning through acting classes at Professional Actor's Studio will serve her well both personally and professionally.

This studio is the place to be. Artistry and professionalism are abundant here and it shows in the work of each and every actor in the studio.

Nick Conti's professional Actor's Studio is the best place I've found to exercise those acting muscles. The instructors are all friendly yet firm and totally professional. I see amazing work there every week.Personally I've been able to touch things within myself that I never thought I would ever release. Beginner or seasoned actor this is a great place to grow.

I moved to Atlanta from Los Angeles two years ago. I have experienced evey type of acting class/studio. Nick Conti's Professional Actors Studio is one of the best! Nick and his team care deeply about the actor and the craft. I am so thankful to be a part of such awesome studio.

I am a producer/ director in the film industry here in Atlanta and I have worked with several great actors from this studio and all around Atlanta. Nick Conti is the best at what he does and actually cares about his actors. I personally recommend this studio to all my friends and co-workers who truly want to study acting and become the best at there craft.

This studio is wonderful. It has a professional, yet personal atmosphere that is unique from other studios I ve been to. There is a lot of opportunity for growth both industrially and artistically, along with a genuine dedication to the craft. Nick is humble and honest, with years of experience and passion for what he does. I m really happy this place exists!

I have attended the school for three years. In an attempt to gain additional tools to be a better actor I have added Jeff Coles' class to my curriculum. He is an exquisite instructor in classic method acting and has done much for my ability. I recommend the school wholeheartedly. If you wish classic method instruction sign up with Jeff.

Nick Conti s Pro Actors has been my favorite place to study acting since I started acting. Nick and all the instructors are very professional, kind, and they re all fun to be around. Just a great group of people to be around that really want to see you succeed. I highly recommend coming in and auditing a class!

When I joined Nicks my confidence and bookings have increased drastically! The environment feels safe and welcoming. Angela and Franco are great instructors.

Working with Nick Conti is an amazing experience. I recently started and I'm happy to say that I've enjoyed the classes thus far. Nick takes his time with teaching ensuring that each student gets the personal attention they deserves. Nick makes the most of each class and is always challenges his students. I look forward to continuing my classes with the Nick Conti studio!

I've been growing and learning as an actor for almost 2 years at this studio and recommend it to anyone, whether a beginner or a seasoned actor. All the teachers bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to their classes.

Great studio with great teachers. My teacher Scott Oakley has been fantastic & very supportive.

The professional actors studio was my first and only choice due to there incredible reputation, that they actually live up to. I ve been with the studio for a year and I ve experienced nothing but professionalism and courtesy from the staff.

My husband and I both attend classes here, and have seen our careers flourish with the application of the techniques and materials we have learned. I love that we not only learn on-camera acting techniques, but also the business side of the industry - how to get an agent, the dos and don'ts of auditioning, how to build your resume and where to find auditions and workshops.

All of the teachers here are serious about their careers, and passionate about seeing yours blossom as well. At PAS, you will get honest, helpful feedback that you can use to take your acting career to the next level.

A great and professional environment. Classes are in depth and, most importantly, fun! Look forward to them every week.

Most exciting and knowledgeable acting studio that I ve ever been to. Keep up the great work!

You never lose what's in you naturally. Making mistakes and analyzing to much sometimes happens. Having Scott as my instructor has been the best motivation for me to reinvigorate what was never lost. Complacency isn't an option at this acting studio, growth and drive to see yourself and put yourself where you deserve to be. Thank You Nick.
Thank You Scott.

I take the Tuesday Night class with Angela and absolutely love it! I have learned a lot since beginning classes this past summer at The Professional Actor's Studio and look forward to everything i will learn going forward. Would definetly reccomend to anyone who would like to grow as an actor or actress!

I am a SAG-AFTRA Union actor and I highly recommend this Acting studio. Nick is sincerely one of the nicest, down to earth people you will ever meet with decades of experience. He takes great pride and satisfaction in coaching, assisting and watching people progress as they pursue their acting career. He also has several other instructors teaching that are highly trained. The prices of the classes are very reasonable. You will have access to industry standard headshots at a very fair price and even help with your resume. He also provides actors who have earned it, the opportunity to perform in front of top Talent Agents and Casting Directors at Showcase which is held every 4 months. This is definitely a Professional acting school with a wonderful environment and positive attitudes for study. It has been a true blessing and will continue to be a true blessing in my career.

I attended Mr. Nick Conti's Intermediate Adult Class, and I loved it he is one of those acting coaches that is completely honest with you. That night that I observed his students he said that acting is free of emotions meaning tell the truth in you're performance. Everyone in the room has to believe what you're saying and doing, if you're just acting to perform or to impress somebody to get an award. This is not the business for you, all acting is the truth winthin you, personal repertoire a backstory, feeling to character and understanding the character are qualities you need in order to be a good artist. So I would highly recommend Nick Conti's Professional Actor's Studio if you're serious about getting into the Film and Television Industry, there are Beginners classes, Intermediate classes, Advanced classes, Improve classes, and youth classes for children and teens they even have a writers bootcamp. The price that he charges for his classes are very reasonable, and you're really getting you're money's worth he is one of the top acting schools in the whole city of Atlanta

I audited Angela Davis s class and it was amazing. Very informational and friendly. Spoke with Nick the owner to register and his personality is out of this world. Highly recommend.

I have been coming here for a year. Nick and the instructors are awesome. And the Actor Showcases are amazing

This class was a great opportunity to expand my craft much further!

One of the best studios I have seen and Nick is Amazing. I call these guys when ever I need to cast a commercial or last minute part knowing they always have talent ready to go!

Today was my audit class and Scott was awesome!!! I really truly love the energy and flow of the class. Scott was a good communicator as well as humorous. I loved how detailed and thorough he was. He was engaging and he listened to understand, so he could give clear and precise direction/instruction. The other classmates were warm and inviting as well. It was just an amazing class overall and I will definitely be back!

Loved the audit and joined the class! Nick is so knowledgeable as well as the other instructors. This is a great learning environment.

To say I love this place would be an understatement. From the day I did my first audit I felt welcome...I felt like this place is where I belong and I couldn t wait to dive in head first. I have received so much knowledge since I have started the beginners class. The instructors that I have worked with have nothing short of amazing and I am thrilled that I get to learn from them. The class is inexpensive and fits perfectly into my budget. The best investment I ve made for myself and I couldn t be happier.

I was attending the Beginner's Acting class at the start of the year. I learned a lot and it wasn't boring. No one was negative. It was an encouraging and fun environment. I hope to go back soon.

I recently moved from Miami and started with Professional Actor's Studio right away, and I am so glad I did. The environment and community is wonderful. I am so grateful to have found them!

One of the best acting classes that I've ever been a part of. Angela is one of the best acting coaches I've ever worked with. I love the fact that they give you a free audit class just to check ot out.

Jeff Cole is one of the best acting teachers with whom I ve ever had the pleasure of studying. I highly recommend taking acting classes here.

This was a great school for professional and amateur actors and people with upcoming talent . This school has embraced a great deal of gifts that I seen out of beginners that walk through the door. So if your looking for results you have found results from nick conti school.
This has been a awesome school.

I am an independent filmmaker who just moved to the Atlanta area after 4 years of working with actors of all different ages and backgrounds in Los Angeles. I had the wonderful chance to visit Nick Conti's Professional Actors Studio as an industry guest and was astounded by the level of professionalism and passion with which its students carry themselves. They could match and beat any working professional in Hollywood any day! Brent Brooks is extremely devoted to his teaching and his craft. The material he covers is relevant, fresh and all-around inspirational. Definitely looking forward to seeing more of them!

Coming to class is the best part of my week. The teachers prepare you for the acting world, and genuinely care about your improvement.

I recently took the tactical training course with Scott and it was well worth it! I can't wait to take improv with Jason Stackhouse. This is the best place in the southeast USA, hands down!

I just started the class and Jay has been a great instructor and encourages the class weekly to be their best!

So glad I decided to study at Nick Conti's Professional Actor's Studio. I audited classes at several other studios in the Atlanta area, but decided on the Professional Actor's Studio because of the outstanding staff, their experience and enthusiasm. I also like the fact that you have to audition to get in and then placed in the appropriate class for your skill level. The Beginners class at Nick's is as talented as some of the Advanced classes I audited at other studios.

I have beeen taking classes here since 2015. The teachers are very professional and well trained. Since day one of taking classes here, I ve been continuously learning the art of acting as well as the business. The teachers encouraged all students to keep building and to keep perfecting your craft. It s a great place really challenge yourself. I love this place.

Awesome teachers! Great experience! This school is a real deal!

I've been taking classes for over 3 years now. And I absolutely love it. Started in beginners with Franco, then to intermediate with Scott, and now with Nick in the advanced class. You won't find a better group of teachers anywhere.

I appreciate this school very much

I love studying here! Jeff Cole is a great instructor and mentor. I recently started acting and this place provides all the fundamentals to help you get started and their instruction provides the culmination years of valuable experience and information, and that shines through in each class. It's a very comfortable and constructive environment. I highly recommend auditing a class if you're interested!

I was nervous about starting acting classes but the instructors are so patient.

I attended here for several years many years ago and recently caught up with Nick and learned that things have continued to get better and better, more and more teachers, more and more resources, more and more students.

Nick has continued to be the gold standard for acting studios in and around Atlanta and frankly for the entire region; everything is available here from improv to beginner to intermediate to advanced, convenient location and a long-standing excellent reputation with affordable prices and high-quality teaching as the studio that produces results and keeps actors booked with the skills they acquire here.

One of the best things from the perspective of a working actor is that Nick is plugged in and connected to the entire scene, so every time there is a showcase actual casting directors and agents that matter are in attendance.

I won one of the showcases as best male actor and was immediately offered bookings from one of the top tier agencies in town.

This is the place to be.

I tried the online classes. It was amazing. Scott Oakley is the man. Such much knowledge to share. A great teacher.

If you want to start taking your acting career seriously, this is the place to go. Even in the beginners level the training is on such a professional level that will get you ready to become a working actor. All the teachers I ve known here are truly passionate and committed to their work. So happy to be part of this studio!
