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:
โ€ข Truthful
โ€ข Visceral
โ€ข Grounded and Organic
ยบ 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.

A strong acting technique gives you a way to prepare, listen, respond, and be genuinely present. โ€‰
โ€‰
To make bold, specific choices. โ€‰
โ€‰
To access emotions you didnโ€™t even realize were available to you.โ€‰
โ€‰
And to build confidence and bravery through actually knowing what youโ€™re doing.โ€‰

Designed for beginning and experienced actors whose schedules or finances make the twice-weekly intensive difficult but whose commitment to getting better is very much intact.โ€‰
โ€‰
You donโ€™t need impressive credits.โ€‰
โ€‰
You do need to be willing to work.โ€‰

It's tough, demanding training.
But it works.

That is the Saturday Program at The Robert Mello Studio.

A rigorous, Meisner-based training program for actors who are serious about becoming better at what they do.

Maybe you can't commit to our eight-month, twice-weekly Intensive.

Maybe you don't have the money. Maybe you don't have the time.

But don't use that as an excuse to stop training.

Every Saturday, from 10 AM to 2 PM, you'll work.

You'll fail.

You'll get uncomfortable.

You'll discover something.

Then you'll do it again.

And again.

Until the work begins to become yours.

The Saturday Program is designed in the same philosophy and professional environment that defines our Meisner-based training at The Robert Mello Studio.

The kind of training serious actors pursue in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and London.

Taught by working actors who love to teach and see you succeed. Our instructors aren't just picking up cash in-between gigs.

48 Saturdays. 48 opportunities to work.

Not to collect another acting class.

To build a technique you can take with you for the rest of your career.

The Saturday Program begins **October 3, 2026**.

Saturdays, 10 AMโ€“2 PM.

You can keep waiting to become the actor you want to be.

Or you can start doing the work.

Four years ago today I was in a 90 degree room with no air conditioning in the UK - desperately trying to keep up with a bunch of artists 1/3 my age - while I learned about devising for the theatre. It was the best thing ever and weโ€™ve been playing โ€œPopcornโ€ ever since. Thank you Frantic Assembly and Gavin Maxwell ๐Ÿ˜€ We still need to make something.

This oneโ€™s for the actors whose technique is solid but whose auditions still arenโ€™t landing. That gap is real, and it takes specific work to close it.

Every week you get sides chosen for where you are right now. You prepare, we work it on camera, break it down together, and you get notes from the casting directorโ€™s side of the table before going again.

Tuesdays, 7pm at Robert Mello Studio in Decatur. Six weeks.
$549 early bird through July 31, $599 after.

Register here. Payment plans available.
