Beginner Acting I: The Basics
It was a transformative experience for me. In the past 8 weeks, our class went from strangers to close pals. We played “zip zap zop” games, memorized each other's names, acted out skits, learned the 5 W's - what, why, where, when, and who - and performed play excerpts and monologues. I explored a different side of myself - a more verbal, aggressive, louder, more expressive side. The acting tools we learned are not only useful in acting but in real life, such as conversational tools, you know what I mean, casting, the unimportant, urgency, impulse, gun drop, and more. The class made me feel so emotionally secure that I cried while acting Prima Facie. I am thankful for every member's 100% commitment. It was an unforgettable experience. -

The Seasoned Actor Workshop
The Seasoned Actor was my first ever experience with on-camera work and the first acting class I've taken in years. I could not be more pleased with everything I have learned! I am so grateful that I took this class. Georgia taught me so much about how to audition for the camera but I am also taking away many jewels of wisdom about interpreting text, making strong choices, and how to make a scene tick. Thank you, Georgia. I will definitely be back in your class! -
The Seasoned Actor Workshop
Georgia is great! No matter what level you're at, she pinpoints exactly what you need to get to the next one. She compliments you on the skills you've developed and immediately moves on to the ones that need more of your attention. I've taken many on camera and stage classes and still found Georgia's class to be insightful and transforming despite there being some students there who had never before been in-front of a camera! Her techniques are simple and immediately applicable and you can learn so much for watching how she helps everyones performance become dynamic and compelling. She guided me towards understanding what things need my attention for this next audition season so I can work smarter, not harder and with confidence in the abilities I have achieved already. Of the two auditions I worked on with Georgia (one a Broadway play and one a series regular) BOTH moved on to the next level! What else can you ask for in a coach?! If you are ready to finally book, TAKE THIS CLASS! -
The Seasoned Actor Workshop
"The Seasoned Actor was a great acting class that met me where I was as a vocalist wanting more training as an actor. Georgia takes the time to carefully and specifically diagnose you and give you the tools to succeed on stage and on screen. She also makes sure to give material that will challenge you personally and help you find your natural voice as an actor. She truly understands that there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution to acting. Definitely would recommend this class to all actors of various levels and backgrounds!" -
The Seasoned Actor Workshop
I cannot recommend The Seasoned Actor highly enough. Georgia is an amazing teacher and coach. She helps her actors dig into the text and circumstances so that they can make specific, truthful, and original choices. I personally grew so much in her class and witnessed others make truly remarkable progress. The friendly environment Georgia fosters creates for a space where actors feel free to play and make bold choices. She is wonderful at choosing sides and pieces for people and is also always down to work on upcoming audition material for those who need it. Great Value, Incredible teacher, don't miss out! -
The Seasoned Actor Workshop
Georgia's class was, in a word, awesome. In four weeks I felt a deeper connection to the pieces I was reading than I could've imagined; her class was like a fast-track to "feeling" it. Each session I found myself in awe of the progression, from first read to last, in my own work and the work of the other actors in class--the difference being Georgia's feedback. She asked honest and engaging questions, never suggesting that one approach is better than another. Her ideas literally acted as fuel for my performances. With her help, I didn't have to try to convey anything; her comments resonate to the degree that they inspire the choices you make without you needing to overthink it. Highly recommend The Seasoned Actor. -
The Seasoned Actor Workshop
Georgia is an amazing coach. As someone who has little on camera experience, I asked to focus on camera work for the majority of our four weeks together. I went from being completely frozen in front of the camera to calm, connected, and free. She truly goes above and beyond for her students, taking time to get to know each actor, their strengths, weaknesses, and how to talk to each individual so they can connect to the material in the way that feels best for them. Whether you want help with audition material, want to practice on camera or stage work, or simply want to stretch your acting muscles, The Seasoned Actor is the place to be! -

It was a great class and I learned a lot. The teacher was very knowledgeable and shared many helpful and valuable tips for beginners. Also, the atmosphere of class was absolutely non-judgmental and focused on learning and progress. I would recommend this class to anyone - but be prepared to have some time available during the week to work a bit on rehearsal and read a few plays. What I regret is that some other participants were less involved and didn't show up several times. -

Trial Essentials Class 101
For a beginner, I think the Essentials Class is great for learning exactly what it is called - the essentials of acting. In taking it a number of times, I was given more challenging exercises over time. So, even if you want to take the class more than once, it would be definitely worth it to progress even further. Even if you aren't a total beginner, the exercises can be made more challenging for you. I highly recommend it. -

x90-Minute Acting Seminar
I was so pleased and enlightened by the seminar taught by Mr. Patterson. I have trained as an actress in Europe, in a Grotowski laboratory theatre, and have not found the dedication to ethic and aesthetic to the art of acting in the states, until I found, by chance the Patterson studio. Part of my heart came back to life, as I have been working as an actress in the business in NY, and Mr. Patterson was the teacher to bring back the true art, of what I feel is possible to achieve. -
