Studio 27 Management of Atlanta, Georgia is one of my Go-To sources for well trained, well-informed talent from the Southeast market and beyond. Their organized responsible treatment of the talent affairs as they support agent efforts for their roster is exemplary.
I have done business with Cheryl Harris, The Director/Owner for over ten years and enjoyed wonderful success for our shared clients. including two Broadway show tours. They have a state of the art studio and do training in acting, auditioning, as well as top-notch professional vocal training and preparation with talent for what is to come in their careers. I highly recommend talent, casting and other agents to take advantage of this rare and special group, who “look out inthe same direction” as professionals in our industry

It has been an absolute pleasure working with Cheryl and her team at Studio27 Talent. The private vocal, acting and musical theater classes were pivotal in how well my daughter did at the Model and Talent Expo. I couldn't be more grateful for the hard work Cheryl put in to represent us at the expo. She and her team exceeded our expectations in helping us train and prepare to be able to find not one, but multiple agent interests. My daughter winning the 2023 Model & Talent Expo Entertainer Award of the Year was the icing on the cake. Sending a special shout out of gratitude to Coach Camilla and Lyn as well. Studio27 Talent has a team of rockstars! We look forward to continuing to work with you all.

Our daughter started at Studio 27 at age 5 and she was instantly embraced and nurtured. She has developed so much confidence on stage both singing and acting - which has translated into all areas of her life. Cheryl, Lyn and their team are phenomenal. They are excellent at a their craft and are passionate about passing those skills on to the clients in their programs. Not to mention, they genuinely care about their clients. Studio 27 has become family to us. We couldn’t be happier that we found them!
Nadria Lyn- (parent)
As a middle aged adult with zero acting experience, I didn't know where to start. A local actor recommended Studio 27 and Cheryl Harris to me, so after I got up the nerve this shy person signed up for class.
The instruction has been top notch and has included a variety of acting techniques at a pace you as the student are responsible for. They will push you if you want it. I did! I was encouraged to submit and audition for small projects in the Atlanta area which gave me more insight and invaluable experience and resume building.
After auditioning with Cheryl, she took me and 5 other students of various ages to a national talent expo, to demonstrate our skills and learn more about the business. We each got multiple agent callbacks. Within a week I received multiple contract offers from talent agents.
Who knows where my career will go from here... But if you are willing to put in the work and effort Studio 27 and the coaches there will put you on the right path!
S. Miles- (Student)
My daughter is taking acting lessons there. She has grown her acting skills a lot and she enjoys every single class with Cheryl and her team. They are great people and very professional, they really care about the quality of their work and bring out the full potential of their students.
Regina Valdez- (parent)
Studio 27 is an absolute gem! They have made learning the business of performing so much fun for our daughter!
All of the coaches and Cheryl have all invested such great time and attention into helping our daughter grow as a singer and actress, but have also encouraged a great work ethic, which will extend far beyond performing in her life.
As a Mom, whom is unfamiliar with the performing arts business, Mrs. Lyn and Mrs. Cheryl's advice and assistance has been invaluable. I truly can't say thank you enough!!
Ashley Lee (parent)
My son loved his experience at the Modeling and Talent Expo and the preparation done by Studio27 is the reason he did!
The regular classes helped to ensure he practiced every aspect of the events from Expo, so that when he was before the judges he remembered his lines, was in character, walked the runway with confidence and represented himself and the school well.
We were extremely pleased with the opportunity.
S. Collins (parent)
Once again, you (Cheryl) and Studio27 have proven what a class act you are. We are incredibly lucky and blessed to have stumbled on to your studio and look forward to a bright future with your direction and tutelage.
Thank you so very much!
Michelle Morrow (parent)
Studio27 Model and Talent has some of the best talent. They are very well trained. When their clients go on castings, they are well prepared and almost always get call backs and/or bookings. If I am looking for someone unique or well trained, Cheryl Harris's studio, Studio27, is the first call I make.
Her kids and adults have been seen on episodics, commercials and print. Love this studio.
Linda D. Rutledge- Agent (Babes N' Beaus Talent Agency)
Two of my Tree Sound Studio Alum staff are doing this [Songwriting Sessions], I worked with them for many years. They are super fun and super talented (and yes, I forgive you guys for covering my office head to toe in sticky notes... lol) This is gonna be a very cool workshop and a great way to get a "tune up" on your writing skills. Whoot Whoot! Go guys!

We wanted to take this opportunity to share our thoughts about what a wonderful experience we have had with Studio 27.
At first, we have to admit that we were a little skeptical about this whole experience. We had many conversations about whether or not we should pursue this opportunity. We ultimately decided to go for it, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we ever made for our daughters.
We first wanted to give you a little background about Rosie and Victoria… Rosie is 5 years old and when Rosie first started preschool, she would not leave my side. Every day she would cling to my legs and scream and cry for at least the first hour of her 2 1/2 hour day at preschool. This went on for well over two months and it came to the point where my mother and mother-in-law would actually sit outside her preschool room so, when the door would open, she would see a familiar face. We then got to the point where she would go to preschool and cry every day but, would ultimately have a good time when she was there. She was a shy little girl who always needed to have a family member close by in order to feel secure. We, then, put her in a dance class and she absolutely fell in love with dancing. But, of course, we had to be visible at all times. When the time came for the recital, the stage was very overwhelming for my daughter. I brought her backstage to go on for her recital; they wouldn't allow parents back there and, as I was walking back to my seat to see her perform, I realized that Rosie was not on stage! Unfortunately, she would not go on because I had left backstage and she couldn't see me.
Well, all that has changed now. Since we decided to sign up with Studio27 my daughter is singing, dancing, acting, and talking on stage. All of her shyness has disappeared and she is quite the little starlet now.
Victoria is 13 years old; her dream is to pursue acting, dancing, and singing. She has geared her life so far to fulfill these dreams by participating in drama kids and dance for the past 10 years. She already knew that this is what she wanted but needed to polish her skills and portray her passion for the arts. So we had two girls in very different places and stages in their maturity and training, and each of our daughters found this experience to be invaluable.
Studio 27 has taught our daughters memorization skills, stage presence, public speaking, interaction with other children and adults, interviewing skills, improvisation, and most importantly, confidence. These are skills that they will now carry with them for the rest of their lives.
Rosie has gone from being a shy, timid child to an outgoing, fun-loving, confident little girl who is eager to entertain and interact with both adults and children alike.
Victoria has become a vibrant, expressive, and confident young woman who is ready to take the entertainment world by storm and pursue her dream because of the skills she has learned over the last 8 months.
So, to us, Studio 27 is so much more than a developer is so much more than talent development; they actually mold children into becoming confident, charismatic, and respectful individuals.
We wanted to share our experience because it was such a worthwhile endeavor for not only our daughters, but for our families too. We wanted others to understand what a gift being a part of this entire process has been.
Cheryl, you have an ability to reach both children and adults on a different level than most. You cultivate their natural talent and turn it into an extraordinary gift for all to enjoy.
We can remember when we went to our first training session; everyone was so nervous, but you could see such raw talent that was just waiting to be developed. You had the ability to transform that raw talent into well-polished actors, entertainers, and models.
We wanted to write this to thank you for developing our children and helping them find their natural gifts, talents, and abilities. Your abilities to nurture and mold students of the arts is unparalleled, and we are forever grateful that you shared your gifts and talents with our children.
The Kelly and Spadaro Families (Parents)
Training with Studio27 was absolutely amazing and beneficial for both of my children. Studio27 trained my two girls thoroughly with the intense training sessions they provided. The coaches at Studio27 are extremely thorough and shared their talent and expertise with all children so they could succeed in achieving their dreams in performing arts.
Our experience in Orlando at the Talent Showcase. was professional and enjoyable. Both of my girls were very prepared for the showcases for which they performed. (Thanks to Studio27!) for making it fun for the talent by offering a nonthreatening environment, yet very much like what a real audition might be. We were overwhelmed with the talent at the showcase as well as proud of the talents of my own children. The feeling was incomparable. It felt almost like a family – meeting other parents going through the same things, asking the same questions, and having the Studio27 managers right there to help us step by step.
We felt very special to know many of the top agents came to scout talent and even more special to know my children were called back by many! We are in the process of signing contracts that were offered and are excited to look forward to the journey Studio27 has provided for us!
Beth Katz (Parent)
Studio27 is a great resource for aspiring actors and models. Cheryl truly cares about her students and wants to see each one reach their goals. She is honest, fair, and supportive; a breath of fresh air in the industry.
Emily Brown (Student)
Training at Studio27 with Cheryl played such an important part of the success Ava Hope brought to the stage at the National Talent Showcase. Studio27 teaches you confidence and helps you have a better understanding for the industry. Meeting with agents from all over the country gives you positive reinforcement and exposure. The agents are very helpful in telling you the steps you need to follow after the showcase, which is very helpful and encouraging! We are grateful we had the opportunity to attend the showcase and look forward to what our future holds.
Hope Payne (Parent)
I had a really great time at the National Talent Showcase. It definitely opened my eyes to how the industry works and how we all have a talent deep within us ready to explode. With my scholarship, I definitely find interest in returning.
Arvante Ammons (Student)
I LOVED the runways and also improv. I like how you teach. My favorite part was the film scene. I think I did a good job on my commercial. I enjoyed sound check and singing. Thank you for teaching me all of this.
Prithika Chauhan (Student)
If you are a Cinderella who is stuck in that cinder while everyone else is partying in Hollywood, then you need a fairy Godmother who can add the sparkle to your talent and turn you to the most wanted by talent agents. This year I met that fairy Godmother named Cheryl Harris, a Talent Director.
As a Talent Director, Cheryl helped us tremendously starting right after my daughter’s selection in her first audition for a National Talent Showcase this year in April. Down below is the list of things she helped us and others with.
Cheryl as a Talent Director:
Help placing the Talent in the Entertainment Industry
Educated us about what to expect at National Talent Showcase
Held workshops for kids and adults with little to no experience of acting and/or modeling
Took care of organizing all the documentation for the showcase.
Guided on how what is needed to get a professional head shot and a resume
Helped choose the outfits and even hairstyles to perform in for Talent Showcase
Helped choose the right songs and commercials and film scenes according to age and personality of the clients
Improved the interview skills
Taught how to do a Runway walk ( My daughter’s favorite)
Followed through the whole process and paperwork
The above listed things are which many Talent Directors might help you with but what makes Cheryl unique, is her passion in digging out that deep hidden talent in you and adding that extra sparkle. She does tremendous amount of hard work and her effort to bring out the best in her clients is very inspiring. She got 100% callbacks from talent agents for her clients, including my daughter.
Mukta Chauhan (Parent)
Cheryl and her Studio27 team have been so generous to share their time and talent with my kids and I. We have learned so much and have improved our craft tremendously. We have been booking jobs since working with Cheryl!
Celine Dixon (Parent)
I have worked with Cheryl Harris of Studio 27 for many years. Cheryl provides top quality acting classes and incredible singing and voice over training. Some of my best talent has come from Studio 27.
Linda Rutledge- Agent (BMG Agency)
I love Studio27 and the team there. I have represented several talent over the years who have learned such solid technique. Cheryl is so wonderful and professional and she tailors the classes to each of her students specific strengths and weaknesses. She has so much experience in the industry that I have noticed that her students come to me for representation with a better understanding of their responsibilities as an actor than most other talent. Love them!
Brittany Mumford- Agent (Director of Television & Film; Benz Talent Agency)
"When looking for New Faces one of my Main go to persons is Cheryl Harris at Studio 27!
I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Cheryl for many years! Her dedication and expertise in selecting, training and fine tuning New Talent is a must need for our Industry! Mavrick Artists is so grateful for all you do! Thanks for providing us with such Stellar Talent year after year!"
Penny Middlemiss- Agent (Mavrick Artists, Los Angeles)
Coming to train at Studio 27 as an adult was an amazing decision. I'm 32 and I did not expect everything I experienced. The coaches have a balance between pushing me yet allowing space for a fun time. The other adult students are such a joy to work with, bringing their A-game work ethic, as well as feeling like genuine friends. Of course with any studio, the experience is what you make it. There's no one upping or negative competition, it's a studio where we all support each other and see the best in one another.
If you get the chance to audition for the showcase, I highly recommend it. For those who get invited, the ability to audition/ perform for the top agents in the country is such a rare and incredible opportunity. You will be pushed, you will be prepped, but when it's time to perform, you will be ready. I just came back from the showcase in Dallas and got to chat with some top agencies interested in representing me. So grateful for that opportunity and looking forward to seeing what comes from all that hard work. Studio 27 has really helped me step up as an actor, I highly recommend it for those who are ready.
Kevin Nielson (student)
Our daughters (17 and 13) have been students of Studio 27 Talent for the last 3.5 years. They both have taken part in acting, private vocal and musical theatre classes. We are blown away by the amount of growth we have seen in this short period of time. Our 13 year old has gone from this extremely shy child, to someone who has no issues getting on a stage in front of tons of people. Our 17 year old has auditioned and been accepted to some very prestigious theatre colleges, and we truly believe it has everything to do with what Studio 27 Talent has taught her.
We took part in the Model and Talent Expo event in Dallas, TX and Cheryl was absolutely amazing! She puts her everything into her students. Needless to say, our girls were successful in obtaining agents after that event.
Cheryl and her staff are like family to us and our daughters feel loved and nurtured by them. We even signed up our 5 year old daughter this year to start acting classes with them as well.
We are beyond grateful to have found Studio 27 Talent for our girls.
Timothy and Andrea Klees (Parents)
Studio 27 Talent is amazing. They treated us like family and helped Larkin get to her next level of performance readiness. Cheryl Harris and Ford Smith are amazing!!!! With Studio 27 Talent in your corner, you can be assured you're in the best hands in the industry.
Melanie Mainwaring (parent)
We love this studio! Kudos and love to Cheryl and her magnificent team for inspiring and supporting my family and I to work toward supporting our son with his passion for entertaining. As well as deveIoping my son to be an experienced actor and model. Elohim began his journey here about five months ago.
Wow. Since then Elohim learned and developed in improvisation, scene study, on-camera acting, and modeling. When he first started at Studio27 he was very quiet and shy. He is now the opposite. Cheryl and her team not only helped my son, they have also aided me in what I need to do to support Elohim in being successful. I am now prepared and knowledgeable of what I need to do to direct my little entertainer in the entertainment industry. His growth is evident in his work as an actor and model. His confidence has doubled and he has now been offered representation from Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, and Florida. Thank you so much to Cheryl and her awesome team!
Mercedes Davoren (Parent)
"We couldn't be happier with the experience we had through the training of Studio 27 Talent. The entire process and training that Cheryl put the kids through was top notch. She was able to take my daughter out of her comfort zone and gave her a feeling of confidence when trying new techniques. The entire process was not only about trying to land an agency to represent my daughter but to enjoy the process along the way. My daughter made so many friends from around the world, gained a huge amount of confidence on stage, and really learned how to put herself out there while keeping great composure. I'm truly happy with the whole experience and the life lessons that were learned along the way for both myself and my daughter! "
Lynn Pohl (Parent)
First, I would like to thank you for all the many long hours you put into helping everyone be prepared for this event. It was amazing. So well organized and I was just very impressed. I know what it takes behind the scenes (that nobody sees) to pull something off like that so smoothly. It was great and Amber and I had a blast!! We were so happy for ALL of Studio 27 people.
Carol Winkles (Parent)
We feel so fortunate to have local access to such an amazing talent development studio. Cheryl Harris and the rest of the Studio27 team have been wonderful to work with. Under the instruction of Cheryl and her team, we had the unique and exciting opportunity to attend a Talent Showcase in Orlando, FL. Because of the training our boys received at Studio27, they were well prepared and had a blast at the convention. Between the two of them, they had 23 agent call backs from some of the top talent agents in the country. This jump start to their acting/modeling career would not have been possible without Studio27. The Talent Showcase experience has truly been invaluable.
Trisha Kennedy (Parent)
"Thank you Lance Dreesen and Studio 27 for the experience Katie had with the Master Production Team (Demo Reel Workshop). What a fantastic opportunity to work with a professional director/producer, gain insight into the filming process and end the classes with a quality product Katie can use to promote herself. Thanks so much!"
Robin MacLauchlan (Parent)
After 5 weeks and 20 hours of training at Studio27 in Atlanta, plus the extra time I diligently worked on my craft at home, I attended their Talent Showcase. To say the experience was truly life-changing was an understatement. I received 10 callbacks at the event, and 1 callback a week after returning received another contract offer. This experience would not have happened without God, my parents, and Mrs. Cheryl who helped us prepare and excel at the showcase. We represented Studio 27 well with 100% callbacks! Even returning from the trip, contracts have been offered (and signed), and the hard work that I put into my dreams starting to pay off. This is just the beginning, and I am so grateful! I had to wait to attend A Talent Showcase, and I kept wondering "When is it going to be my time?" Trust me when I say God knows what He's doing. He sent me at the perfect time as a seasoned performer, and I received results beyond my expectations. Don't get disheartened when you have to wait, it only means something greater is in store, and that's what happened to me at the Talent Showcase! Now the real hard work and continuous training begins, and I am excited to see where I go in the near future! Thank you to Studio27 for helping to launch stars and guiding them towards their destiny!
Jasmine Wells (Student)
Thank you so much Studio27 for all of your hard work and dedication! We appreciate you!
Maria Bryant (Parent)
Thank you very much for the hard work and dedication of you and your crew. Natalie and I had a fabulous time at The Talent Showcase. Not to mention how she enjoyed the training classes at the studio. It was an eye-opening experience for both of us. As we shared it with the whole family, they were amazed at how much Natalie learned and how much she enjoyed the whole process. Thank you very much, Cheryl for a job so well done.
Floria and Natalie Whitcomb (parent/student)
Studio27's dedication and willingness to help all of their clients achieve their highest potential certainly speaks for itself with 100% callback results at their Talent Showcase. On a more personal note, I sincerely appreciate your professional and enthusiastic approach in helping Olivia fulfill her dreams in the entertainment industry.
Susan Cloer (Parent)
I have always had a passion for Acting, Singing and being a Fashion and Print model. I expressed this to my mother on several occasions, but the last time I mentioned it she said "do the research". I began looking for places that could help train me in the industries that I was interested in. I came across Studio27." We contacted them and paid them a visit. We met Cheryl Harris and she was extremely nice and answered all of our questions. They allowed me to participate in an acting class to see how I would like it. I loved it and signed up. I've been a part of Studio27 since then.
I participated in the Talent Showcase. I chose to perform in six categories, Photography, Fashion, Film, Swimwear, Singing, and Commercial. It was the most exciting event I have ever participated in. It afforded me the opportunity to gain experience and great exposure. I enjoyed meeting and talking with the agents. I had a great time meeting new people and watching all of the talented people that performed in the showcase.
After the showcase, several Agents expressed an interest in me. I was so excited and overwhelmed with joy. I received a few offers and I’m looking forward to advancing in my career of acting singing and modeling.
Lasanna Wardlow (Student)
I have been wanting to pursue a career in the entertainment industry for over 20 years now. I did not have the means or connections to travel to LA or NYC to do so back then. Now I don't have to. Cheryl Harris at Studio27 has opened the door for me to meet and have a connection to dozens of top talent agents in the entire entertainment industry. Through workshops and showcases onsite as well as places like the National Talent Showcase, I have been exposed to a world I once thought was out of reach. In today's day and age, the entertainment industry is much more open to people of all shapes and sizes and Cheryl Harris at Studio27 has welcomed me in with open arms. I am having the time of my life attending acting and voice-over classes and will forever be grateful to Cheryl for giving me that chance. I've already attended the National Talent Showcase once and cannot wait to do it again! I encourage anyone, no matter what age, size, type or style that has ever had any interest in acting for film, commercials, tv, modeling in print or runways, singing, dancing and even voice-over work, to come to Studio27 and get plugged in. It will be one of the best decisions you've ever made for your life.
Leigh Roberts (Student)
Just wanted to say I had the trip of a lifetime, which I truly owe all to you. Everything from training all the way to performing on the stage. Words cannot express how much I appreciate all of your hard work and for believing I could make my dreams a reality. Thank you so much.
Curtis Legaspi (Student)
I was so excited to find Studio27. Living South of Atlanta, there are not a lot of options for acting classes, etc. down here. Cheryl has been a great acting coach. My kids have audited a class there as well and love it. I highly recommend Studio27 for all ages!
Heather Thompson (Parent)
We have nothing but great things to say about Studio27! Under Cheryl’s guidance, we continue to watch our daughter’s skills and confidence improve.
Clark and Hanna Webster (Parents)
Ever since I've started with Studio27 I've enjoyed every minute of it. I enjoyed experiencing what it was like to perform in front of top agents and getting feedback form them on how i could improve and better benefit. I enjoyed the acting classes and the vocal lessons. They have helped me so much in things that I am currently doing. Studio27 has helped me experience new thing, branch out, and made it that much easier to never give up.
