Teen Actor Training
The Professional Actor’s Studio offers great acting training for teens from 14-19. Our teen actors learn all the basics of acting, and are then encouraged to move beyond those basics and become stronger actors. They work on cold readings, improvisational exercises, and prepared scenes and monologues. They learn how to base all of their work on a foundation of honesty and creativity. In addition, the classes also cover the business side of show business, including headshots, agents, and auditions. Anyone interested is welcome to audit a class for free.
The teen acting class is held on Saturdays from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. The studio is located at 2849 Piedmont Rd., in the heart of Buckhead.
