My daughter has always wanted to pursue acting, and until recently, I had no idea how to start..... After taking Classes at Catapult, I decided to schedule a private consultation with Erik and I am now kicking myself that I did not do it sooner!! The information, guidance, and help Erik shared was priceless. He truly cares ..... His help and guidance went far beyond that 1 consultation.... He sent us a wealth of information and made sure I had answers to all of my questions ( Which was a lot ) I highly recommend a private consultation, regardless if you are just starting out in the business, if you are a parent wanting more information, or you are full on in the middle of your career..... He has guidance and resources that will help you continue moving toward your goals.... I am so grateful to Erik and the entire team at Catapult ..... Thanks so much for helping when I felt so completely overwhelmed.

Catapult is amazing for all ages and levels of acting. They’re are able to be malleable towards every level and give individual support even in large classes. It’s a very positive environment and attracts people who want to learn. I have met so many other incredible actors there and made so many friends. I recommend to everyone!

I just took On-camera: Intermediate with Joe and I was blown away by his professionalism and love of film/movie making. Ideas were shared to produce a one of a kind unique experience for the actors that came to film. All in all Joe is a fantastic teacher!!

I took an 8 week class at Catapult this summer, and it was one of the if not the best training experience I’ve had as an actor. Our instructor Joe thoroughly taught us how to break down a script and discover who our characters were. This has helped me beyond measures preparing for a feature film I booked shortly after the class ended. Also, at the end of the class we all got to collaborate and create an improv short film that ended up being the best time I’ve ever had filming. I’ve heard so many great things before I took classes here, and it definitely lived up to my expectations, if not more. I am definitely planning on taking more classes here. And if you are an actor looking for an amazing training opportunity, this is the place to go.

My daughter and I have taken several classes and done headshots at Catapult and plan to do some private coaching. I recommend it highly. A classmate of mine posted an unfavorable review so I felt the need to say that my experience in the exact same class was amazing. In 8 classes with Joe I got a lot of great advice and instruction, a handful of videos for my reel, as well as a short film for my resume. And all I had to do was show up with a positive attitude and practice in between.

Ive been taking classes at Catapult for a few years now and I am not disappointed with the quality and training that Ive received. The coaches are always pushing me to be better and give me great direction when I come in for a taping. Im apart of a young adult class full of kids that are my age and at the same place in the industry as me. It feels like a safe community to grow and become the best person that I can be as well as the best actor that I can be.

Catapult Acting Studios is great! Very professional coaches, excellent equipment and facility with quick turnaround times for high quality tapes. I definitely recommend them if you are in need of help with self tapes and coaching. As a recent transplant from LA, this is the best Atlanta studio Ive found and I will keep going back.

I go to Catapult for audition taping services and I think theyre by far the best. The service is prompt and professional. Ive gone to several audition taping studios, even going to multiple locations on the same day, because I wasnt happy with lighting and/or sound. Im extremely picky. The filming is top quality and turn around time is efficient. Im thrilled I found Catapult and wont go anywhere else.

I am just getting my feet wet into the acting world and Catapult made it super easy for me. I had zero issues! They make you feel welcome as soon as you come into the door. The coaches really care about you! And Becca is outstanding when it comes to handling any issue she is very quick with responding if you have any questions or concerns. Catapult is soo worth the investment! Check themout and see for yourself! They go above and beyond !!!

Since we have found Catapult, I am just consistently amazed. So many times when we have a positive experience, we dont take time to let people know. This time I felt it would was too important to let the opportunity slip by. My daughter did a coach/tape with Matt this morning for network episodic. He was stellar! What an amazing guy and fantastically skilled coach. What was truly beautiful was his coaching at the end of taping, that wasnt related to the script at all. Catapult consistently brings the lessons learned from their auditions/workshops/classes back to life and personal growth... it is just invaluable to these kids! I heard the owner Erik once say once that he didnt care if any student of his ever got a part again, that roles were the byproduct of the real work they were doing over at Catapult. I almost feel like acting studio doesnt cut it... it should be Catapult, LIFE studios. :) Catapult is probably THE only place that I walk through the door with my kid that makes my parent heart sing. So, yeah... thanks Catapult for being awesome, hiring awesome people, and being amazing at the craft also. The tape is CRAZY AMAZING quality!

Erik Lingvall has been a blessing for my daughter to help jumpstart her acting training. He is well connected and supportive in growing actors in a safe, fun environment. We love Catapult!

I used to be happy with catapult. The truth is Eric is more a salesman than anything else. He has no real background in acting, he hasn’t been to school for it and hasn’t acted in anything really himself, but what he’s good at is selling fantasies at the same time he’s convincing you he isn’t selling you anything. He’s really smooth talker. I wonder if the kids he works with who are successful are successful because of him or because they would be successful with any coach and also Eric doesn’t coach much, it’s mainly the other coaches who do all the tapes. What I want to say is this place Charges so much money and you take all these classes but then they can’t even tape your audition because the coaches are never available because they have so many students because they keep taking new kids in their place but there’s no room for more kids. It’s like they can’t keep anyone happy longterm so they keep making up new classes and my kid said Eric always says the same stuff repeatedly in his classes, she never learns anything new. The two stars is for the other coaches there who care and the tapings, but as I already said there’s never taping availability when you need it because they’re too busy accommodating new people and everything gets taken. The taping is good, workshops with outside people are good, but I wouldn’t recommend the classes, it’s all recycled and it’s a race against the clock if you want a seat in the classes lately, and yeah I said they aren’t that great but I do like some of the coaches and maybe they could be great if they’d focus on deepening the material and the growth of each student but instead they just want more students and more students because it’s easier to get new people to commit to 500 bucks than an older student who knows the next class will just be the same with a different name!

I cant say enough great things about Catapult. My son has attended a few acting schools in Atlanta and they dont hold a torch to Catapult! He has worked with Julia, Eric, Joe, and Carrie Ann and they are all top notch!! Always bummed when the semester is over and fired up to start back! Thank you to each and every one of you that inspire and teach him SO much!!!

I had a blast from the 8 week class with Joe. Joe was so passionate about acting and filming that it really fueled me. I learned a lot about creating backstory and studying out characters. And filming our improv short film was one of the most fun experiences Ive had in my career. I made some great friends from this class and grew a ton as an actor. ️

I cant rave enough about Catapult. Ive taken classes and taped at the studio and have had an incredible experience. The quality of the self-tapes Ive shot at the studio exceeded my expectations. The entire staff is fantastic, and I highly recommend coaching with Erik, Joe and Julia. The Pilot Prep workshop was fantastic and Im looking forward to taking more classes and workshops at the studio!

First off people talking about me in code doesnt work. Bill Asp.... I had a different experience than he DID! Same class doesnt mean we had the same experience. Dont drag anybody else in your review. My experience as a working actor and dealing with other students of the art have to mesh well with me. This place will sell you the dream! Go in knowing what you want from it. My case ended up in court! The instructor that I had was tempermentle and talked more than listening to ideas of the classmates. I actually had a heated argument with Joe because I wanted to feel like I was heard. So as stated before signing up, at the end of the class I would leave with a reel, and that didnt happen. I was put in a cornered place of anger and rage down stairs in one of the larger rooms until someone had to intervene to break us up. This is the side that Erik Lingvall didnt know about; his employer. So I was filled with a bunch of aired out promises to collaborate with my instructor due to a lack of things in class that didnt take place. So due to Joe being under stress my class was paid for in full but my experience wasnt, a good one. Im a paying customer not a verbal punching bag! So Ive been getting the run arounds from other people in the office to resolve my issues yet no one is sincere about what happened to me. Still havent received all my footage till this day (8/2020 just awful!

As an aspiring adult actor I was skeptical about choosing catapult since I thought it was a school that primarily catered towards teaching kids, but after attending the Baseline on Camera class with Joe Massingill I realized I was wrong. Joes enthusiasm towards everyones development was awesome to see and be apart of. He was positive and uplifting but always told us what he needed to work on. We did a lot of monologues in front of the camera which was great and we really practiced on building versatility and range. At the end of class we were able to shoot a real scene which was a great experience. I highly recommend this class for any adult thats just starting out!

Review №25

As a young actor It took a while for me to realize the importance of presenting a good tape. Its not all about acting. The quality of your video shows your level of dedication to the casting director. Catapult does a wonderful job of providing you with a space to make everything come together perfectly. The people working there are awesome and you always leave with the best product possible. I would recommend Catapult to any actor.

Catapult is THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN for top quality classes if your child desires to be a serious working actor! Catapult is THE BEST GAME IN TOWN for top quality classes if your child wants to learn about acting & comedy just for fun! What is great about Catapult is that they have classes for both professionals and non-professionals so everyone feels comfortable with classes that are going at their speed. Catapult consistently has the best teachers in Atlanta and brings in the best teachers and Casting Directors in from around the USA for Seminars and exclusive classes with Catapult Students.I have been a student of Eriks since he started working in Atlanta. I only used to have private classes and taped auditions with him. Once he started Catapult- he suggested I start taking group classes as being in class with other actors was important. I was skeptical about taking a group class- but he promised it would be awesome. Since I started the group classes, I have never looked back. The caliber of students that attend the Circuit Acting classes really inspire me as an actor to be my best and grow. Catapult teachers expect a lot which is great because they have high expectations and are honest. All actors are on their own personal journeys with their craft- and if you put in the time, listen, and take the critiques and suggestions, you will grow as an actor. The actors journey takes a lifetime and I dont think I will ever outgrow Catapult.Catapult has 3 full service soundproof taping rooms going around the clock for audition taping & coaching, as well as youth and adult classes throughout the week. They also have a full menu of Summer Camps and Holiday Break Camps during the school year. Catapult also has daytime classes for Homeschool Students.Catapult is a one stop shop for all things acting - on camera, scene study, improv, sketch comedy, stuntwork, audition training- Ill never go anywhere else in Atlanta! ️

If your child is ready to start OR continue an acting career, Catapult Acting is where its AT!!! All the coaches are wonderful and go above and beyond for their students/clients. My son is 11 and has been going here for over a year. The changes and growth Ive seen in him is amazing. His confidence is 100%, his techniques are great and we owe this to the team at Catapult. Its worth every minute of the drive to see him succeed and thrive!

I cant say enough great things about Catapult! My daughter absolutely loves her time there. The classes and workshops are definitely challenging her to try new things, but she leaves every time saying how much fun she had. The energy from all the instructors is contagious and I feel she is really learning a lot in terms of both the fundamentals of acting, as well as some more advanced techniques. I cant wait to continue to see how my daughter develops as an actress because of her time at Catapult!

My first experience was very positive; Erik Lingvall is a passionate, patient, forthright instructor and Paige Hullett is talented, encouraging, and professional in every sense of the word. I was both challenged and encouraged during both my workshop and shoot. I will be back for training!

Erik, Julia and all the passionate,Motivated and inspirational members of Catapult do so much more than train actors. They teach such important life lessons as well. They talk about hard work, focus, and the power of positivity. My daughter comes home from camps and classes so energized and ready to take on the world. I cannot think of a better investment in your child than classes at Catapult.

Catapult Acting Studios is by far one of the best taping experiences I have ever had. I have auditioned 6 times recently, and every time I go in these guys are prepared and ready to go. I also love the fact that they are also trained actors and great collaborators. I feel like they always give their best and get the best from me in return. I cant recommend Catapult Acting Studios highly enough. If you want to book a role, go see these guys!

I attended the Catapult workshop in Houston for parents of actors and it was tremendous. There was a ton of information shared and it was actionable. We discussed how to maneuver around the industry, what is in your control and what is not, dos and donts, and how to stack the deck in your favor. Erik really put things in perspective and explained the industry which helped me better understand what to expect, why things happen the way they do, and how to handle situations. Leaving the workshop I feel like I understand the industry much better and what I need to do to give my child the best chance to have fun and reach their personal goals.

While Catapult focuses on training, developing and guiding actors of all ages and experience levels, it helps PEOPLE discover how to be the truest version of themselves in all aspects of life. Erik is in a league of his own when it comes to helping people let go of their insecurities, perceived faults, teaching them to embrace everything that makes them unique. Hes changed my life in the most significantly positive way and I know Im not alone.

I first taped with them May 4, 2017, and I taped with them about an hour ago, May 10th. Jack did an awesome job both times with camera and lighting setup, being the reader, as well as editing, labeling and submitting the video files to CMail, and forwarding my agent and I the Dropbox links. This was done very quickly, like 10 minutes after each session. Today I sent them the sides less than 2 hours before the video audition was due.After each scene, I was shown my performance on a TV screen to see if I was happy with it. Only cost $20 for each session if its 15 min and no coaching. If you want coaching, you can purchase a very reasonably priced coaching session with their experienced, working-actor coaches. Summary- they made both my agents and I Happy, both sessions. Highly recommended.
