3. Can I audit a class?
A. The studio policy is not to allow auditing to protect the sanctity of the actors work in the classroom. They need to be available, be able to trust and be emotionally vulnerable. We eliminate anyone watching on to protect their maximum ability to learn without having to worry about outside eyes. Back to Questions
4. If I go to your school how long will it take before I’m a working actor?
A. That is a relative question and the answer is unique to the individual asking it. There is no set time for anyone. However the more committed you are to your training and your career goals, the higher likelihood it will happen for you faster. Back to Questions
5. Aren’t all acting classes the same?
A. While many share similarities, a lot depends on the structure of the schools’ curriculum and the ability of its instructors. Imagine comparing colleges and universities that offer the same major. Indeed the overall idea and concepts may be described as the same, however you would always look deeper to compare curriculum, professors and the careers of the alumni before setting any of the school’s apart.

6. Why do I have to audition for some of your programs but not for others?
A. The programs vary as far as the level of intensity, the depth of curriculum and commitment of the students involved. Auditions become necessary for certain programs to create a learning environment conducive to the training. Back to Questions

9. Is acting ‘hard’ to do?
A. Anything worth doing well is worth working hard for. You should experience a sense of personal challenge when you work as and towards being an actor. If you are not asking yourself to transcend your own limitations, then your success will likely be limited and short-lived. Back to Questions
10. Are you the best school in Atlanta?
A. A hint towards your answer may be, the one who is boasting loudly that they are the best, may need to boast to get your attention. The one comfortable with their abilities that they can sit back in confidence may very well be the best but doesn’t need to tout it.
We are sure that everyone is inspired differently and by different styles and teachers. The question may be, “Are we the best school for you?” Back to Questions
