Atlantic Acting School

How do I start? I can’t even begin to express how appreciative I am of this institution. I decided to attend an open house and I was amazed and therefore decided to take the technique lab classes from July-​August. They are so, so passionate about teaching the craft that it gets exhausting sometimes, in a good way, because they are very detailed about what they’re teaching you. The moments lab with Alison Beaty was amazing. Some of the exercises that are done might make you wonder what do they have to do with acting… but believe me, just go along because you’ll be very surprise how much they improve you impulses, performance and comprehension. Jennifer Rau, she’s amazing! She’s really passionate about teaching and making sure that all of us GET IT. She took my acting to another level and I am so pleased and feeling ready for anything. It is worth it.

Perhaps I had the wrong expectations. I sent my 10-​year-​old to Atlantic’s «Summer Young Creators Workshop» for ages 9 – 11. I had expected her to receive age-​appropriate acting training. After all, it is called the Atlantic «Acting School». But that didn’t happen. Instead, the kids were given scripts on the first day and then spent their two weeks rehearsing for their end-​of-​session performance. The emphasis was on learning their lines and knowing where to stand. They weren’t taught any skills that would be transferrable to another production. This was camp, not school. My 10-​year-​old and I were very disappointed.
That said, the counselors and other staff were pleasant and professional and the children all seemed to have a good time. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Atlantic’s Summer Young Creators Workshop to anyone looking for a 2-​week camp for their child.

I love this school! I’ve attended the Summer Intensive program, the Full-​Time Conservatory and the new Los Angeles Graduate Conservatory. I have nothing but great things to say about my training in all 3 programs and every class that I took presented new material in a fresh and progressive way. My training and contacts have served me well professionally as an actress and now as a teacher. The program requires discipline, rigor and commitment and cultivates strong professional artists who know how to make a living off of their craft.

My son loves the place. Teachers are super cool atmosphear like no other acting school. This is first year and i think and i hope few more years will follow.

I was admitted here last Spring 2012 for their Spring Comprehensive Program and I gotta say that it’s one of the best training (if not the best) I’ve had. Practical Aesthetic technique really works for me and the instructors in Atlantic possessed awesome pedagogical skills! It was so worth doing it and I still keep in touch with the other students as well as the instructors via Facebook and the closed group profile created for alumni.
