Arvold Warner Studio 2949 North Druid Hills Road, Atlanta, GA 30329

"Arvold Warner Studio is a shining gem in a noisy world full of choices that are vying for our attention. It’s more than a pretty studio to look at and admire from a distance. It’s a priceless gift to the entertainment industry. Taking the Total Prep virtual class was hands-down one of the best investments I’ve made in my acting career. It provided practical steps, extensive training, and useful resources in a welcoming and safe environment to prep for scenes and develop characters . . . which ultimately lends to greater confidence in our choices as performers. Their instructors not only bring years of experience and expertise to the table but also peppers it with kindness and encouragement. AWS’s passion for storytelling with excellence and a desire for actors to succeed is evident in all they do from the organized content, the incredible communication, the immeasurable resources, and the creative options to further one's acting journey. I highly recommend this studio to anyone no matter if they’re a novice or have a resume that extends beyond the margins. The future seems a bit brighter today because of AWS and I look forward to diving into more of the opportunities they provide!"

"I took the Total Prep intensive. I couldn't be happier. It was an immensely informative and valuable refresher, with a fresh, rich, and engaging new perspective on character breakdown and analysis. Great for beginners and more-experienced actors!"

"Total Prep is an outstanding experience designed to bring process and rigor to your craft. Handled by professionals in the business who can add personal insights to up the value. Fabulous!"

"Excellence in acting/arts education is difficult to find (especially post-drama school). I've taken classes at many of the studios around Atlanta, and I have to say AWS is the most comprehensive, challenging and community-centered studio I've come across. Every teaching artist is an expert in their field, the various classes are curated in a way that they target actors at all skill levels, and though classes always present a challenge, the environment is supportive enough to encourage risk taking and stretching yourself as much as you want. (ridiculously effusive run-on sentence over, but I promise I'm not exaggerating). Definitely worth it, definitely recommend. (Also, Erica is a fantastic director and teacher. If you have the opportunity to get into one of her classes, TAKE IT.)"

"Truly one of the best, most authentic, and VALUABLE acting classes or workshops I've taken in not only Atlanta but in NYC and L.A. as well. Erica and Richard truly care about the PEOPLE who come to learn and play in circumstances as well as the craft of acting and business of entertainment. I am so thrilled I'm able to share the space and time here and I look forward to continuing my education and practice here at AWS. I have finally found my acting "place" here in Atlanta. Hooray!"
