The Robert Mello Studio

The Robert Mello Studio Professional level acting classes for the serious minded beginner to working professional. Acting classes in Atlanta and Los Angeles.

The Robert Mello Studio is dedicated to Meisner-based actor training and classes, and serves both the Atlanta and Los Angeles acting communities. Classes offer you a technique for crafting film, television and stage performances that are:
• Truthful
• Visceral
• Grounded and Organic
º The BEST technique for film and television

THIS ISN'T YOUR PARENT'S MEISNER TECHNIQUE. Sanford Meisner created a

brilliant technique - for his time. This is updated, faster and works off of who actors are today, not the 1950's and 1960's. Robert's teaching style is compassionate, straight-forward and filled with joy and humor. Teaching is Robert's greatest passion.

You’ve worked too hard on your craft to let your auditions be the thing holding you back!

You’ve trained. You’ve studied technique. You know how to build a character, break down a script, and do the work.

So why aren’t the auditions turning into callbacks?

𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭. And if you don’t train it specifically, you’re leaving opportunities on the table.

Every audition is a chance to change the trajectory of your career. Yet most actors spend years working on acting while spending almost no time learning how to audition.

That ends here.

Each week you’ll receive sides selected specifically for you—based on where you are now and where you’re headed. You’ll prepare the work, perform it on camera, and receive direct feedback from a casting director’s perspective. Then you’ll adjust and do it again.

We’ll tackle:
-Scene analysis
-Self-tape technique
-Creating the environment
-Making strong choices
-Handling nerves
..and the technical details that can quietly kill an otherwise great read.

The goal isn’t just to have a good class.

The goal is to build the skills, confidence, and consistency to approach every audition knowing you’re ready—and to stop losing roles because of avoidable mistakes.

Begins Tuesday, June 9th @ 7PM

Our newest audition coach!

04/30/2026

Applications close tomorrow at noon for the only complete, Meisner-based program in Atlanta.

This program is for the serious-minded actor. You will:

• Strip away the surface and uncover the deeper actor—the one who makes bold, organic, imaginative choices.
• Build a set of tools and skills that will serve you for the rest of your career.
• Be pushed further than you’ve been pushed before—and come out with real confidence.

The training is rigorous. The expectations are high. And it includes extensive on-camera work.

Graduates leave with a repeatable technique that holds up on a self-tape at midnight, on a stage in front of 400 people, or in a callback room full of executives.

Our actors consistently book across major TV and film projects shooting in Atlanta. They’re working in L.A. and New York. They’ve appeared on Broadway and off-Broadway. The results speak for themselves.

Classes begin May 11.
Applications close May 1 at noon.
Interview and sample class required.

We love supporting our students and we love it when you do too!  
 
The Writers Circle is a great group of actors and writers and creator founded by alums Gabby Fenimore and Cat Espinoza. It is a weekly gathering for writers and creators to share and workshop original work. All forms are welcome — songs, scripts, poetry, prose. The focus is craft: refining what you’ve made through structured feedback from fellow writers who take the work seriously.  
 
Above all, it’s a community built around a shared commitment to the written word. 
 
Come on out and support THIS Saturday. Tickets sold at the door.

🩷🍾🎉We are thrilled that Kate Bone has joined RMS/ATL-C as a new movement instructor for the advanced intensive! (Don’t despair, Collin Pennel is still with us, just taking a break.) 
 
Kate’s work is truly unique. She is a certified yoga and meditation instructor and the creator of The Artist Body, a movement modality she built from years of study across Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement, the Alexander Technique, Bartenieff Fundamentals, Somatic Dance Therapy, Linklater Voice, and Continuum Movement. We absolutely love that she didn’t just borrow a system - but has built her own and her unique voice is a great fit for the studio.  
 
Her training runs deep: a BA from UCLA’s School of Theatre Film and Television, advanced work at The Groundlings, and graduation from the 2-Year Meisner Conservatory at Baron Brown Studio. In 2020 she founded wonderwell creative to help artists make original work and live with intention. 
 
She’s also a working actress. You’ve probably seen her in “Purple Hearts” on Netflix or the festival favorite “The Nowhere Inn” (Sundance, Tribeca, SXSW). High-profile TV work too, opposite some serious company:  
David Boreanz, Jessica Alba, Gabrielle Union, Adam Divine, and more.

𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬!  
 
One year. These actors showed up, worked hard and grew in bravery, creativity and both as actors and artists. Most importantly, they didn’t quit. Definitely worth a shout out and some celebration! 
 
It was a beautiful last class, filled with traditions, tears, a hug or two and wonderful acting. We couldn’t be any more prouder of you all!  
 
Btw, we are currently accepting applications for an upcoming DAYTIME INTENSIVE. Link in profile!
