Welcome
The Working Actor’s Guide is an international online resource and course provider for actors interested in making a living in the Entertainment Industry. It was founded by Mark Atteberry, a successful working actor, master teacher and devout artisan.
Our classes are designed to help each actor to develop their own acting technique, embrace their unique talents and strengths, take advantage of who they are in the eyes of the industry and bring it all to their work.
All of our classes are taught by working pros, with a practical insight of what works and what doesn’t on sets today. Our approach is innovative, and not classical, by design. It’s all about you!
