Presenting a premier acting program based in Burlington, NC For students young and old; further develop your skills whether you're a professional working actor or just beginning your career.​
​

Preparation + Passion = Possibilities

Actors Studio teaches the craft of acting through interactive exercises, discussions, observation, scene work, etc. Students will learn to develop their creativity, ability to emotionally express themselves, understanding and construction of “characters”, technique of script/scene analysis and enhance their improvisation skills among other things.

​The instruction at the studio is derived from years of study at one of the most elite and highly acclaimed schools in the South, paired along with the knowledge and experience gained through years of working on film, TV and commercial sets. Additionally, the classes offered at Actors Studio incorporate the use of cameras to help students become accustomed to the specific application of acting on-camera to replicate an “on set” environment.

It's not just Hollywood any more...

With the emergence of cities like Atlanta as premier film destinations,
the Southeast has become a true industry hub with more opportunities than ever before.
In the past it was almost a requirement for film professionals to live on the West Coast,
but now a new generation of actors and filmmakers have had great success making states
like Georgia and North Carolina their base of operations. 

It also doesn't have to be a full-time commitment...
There is work for actors and actresses of all backgrounds and schedules,
whether it be a career actor or someone looking to earn supplemental income.
