Atelier Talent Development Company

Overall my honest review its an unhealthy learning environment. unlike most promotional 5 star reviews here. They are frequently forgetful, unauthentic, Disrespectful, immature, fake friendly, gossipy natured, highly Discriminating and judgmental people. The woman recruiter named Allysun will start off with an evaluation which just involves excessively admiring and grossly exaggerated complementing you to butter you up and to trust them to invest into classes and seeing what other interests that you have that they have unlisted private classes for to spend more money on. The director Diana is very unfriendly. and shady. The receptionist Sandra is insecure and gossipy. Their original policy is no refunds. A company that cant stand behind their products or services with a refund truly doesnt care about their customers satisfaction at all especially when after getting money they ignore phone calls and e-mail communication completely when politely inquiring about getting personal property returned (flash drive and photo). They will likely try to pretend to be professional and say they already discarded it but thats very disrespectful especially since they told me they would return my flash drive but lied and said they forgot. I asked soon after for it via email 8/2/22 and called a few couple of times they wont answer they just ignore me and havent responded since or given a call back because if its not about giving them money its not important. who knows with such childish resistance to return what dose not belong to them. Any other actual professional agency would gladly return it with no issue out of common courtesy if they truly cared about their customers but its obvious with their actions not just words they dont. Makes their focus known what they truly care about just your money. The $275 dollar classes that are not refundable is nothing special just basic information you can easily find over the internet or video tutorials not worth 1hr and 30 mins of shared time with 8-10 people. So called beginner classes are disorganized and mixed with other people who are obviously not beginners, which makes no sense of calling it a beginners class. All people who attended were already signed with the agency I saw the sign in sheet and they are likely just sit ins who didnt pay anything just to make the agency look more in demand than they actual are to create an illusion for the new applicant to exploit. And most of all if they have no interest in signing you they will string you along saying when (they) determine you pass the class only then will you be signed. they will likely upsell and suggest taking more classes often because thats probably their main income source instead of the people they supposedly represent like its supposed to be. Meaning its not a commission based agency which as mentioned before I agree, is bad business practices. 8/5/22 They made an exception to refund $200, and return my personal property on 8/12/22 but has yet to do so as they said they would. 8/22/22 issued only $200 refund thats currently pending. 8/27/22 the refund posted. I have yet to have my photo and flash drive mailed back as they agreed they would currently 11/4/22 Your better off making it on your own with casting Network sites with a small monthly fee and vast variety of free education material on the internet and YouTube tutorials to develop yourself from experienced people in the industry who actually care about making other people successful for free and respond to communication to any asked questions compared to this fake nonsense. Dont waste your time. These are the kind of people who are jealous of your looks and potential and do not truly want you to succeed. Their intentions are to lead you in circles and take advantage by only getting money while making you falsely believe that they are helping you get somewhere when they have no real intention of doing so.

Looking for a place to learn and grow, look no further. Atelier talent and development agency has you covered. The instructor, Anthony Nelson , is great at what he does. I went into the class with little confidence and finished as confident as can be with the push and encouraging words from Anthony. The experience also allowed me to meet a great new group of individuals.

Writing my first review because I recently took the Adult audition workshop here at Atelier and it is honestly one of my favorite classes Ive taken. Anthony was really helpful, made you feel comfortable, and always gave great feedback. I intend on continuing to take different courses offered by Atelier because I really enjoyed the experience.

Any actors, models, comedians, musicians, or any other artist looking to enhance their knowledge and ability I would highly recommend Atelier. Anthony Nelson is a very skilled, dedicated and knowledgeable instructor. Anthony took the time to work with me to help enhance my craft in a big way and Im very appreciative to him for his time. I looked at a few other agencies in town before committing to Atelier, As an actor and a comic there was no doubt in my mind that this was the agency for me. Give them a call and make your appointment now.
