NICOLE CALLAHAN

I’m an Austin native and I earned my BFA in Theatre at Texas State.

Afterward, I headed for Hollywood, where for nearly a decade I studied acting at some of the most accredited studios in the industry while working steadily in TV and commercials. Some of my most noteworthy credits include Friday Night Lights, How I Met Your Mother and Days of Our Lives.

My talent for coaching became so trusted by my friends and colleagues that I decided to open my own studio in LA, called Acting UP Network, which quickly became a go-to venue for agents and managers to send their brightest young talent.

In 2016, the opportunity of a lifetime pulled me and my family from the West Coast to the Heartland. While I traded palm trees for a puffer coat, I don’t intend on trading a promising career as a teacher and mentor.

What I learned from my time in LA is that I’m happiest when helping others crush their goals. Whether you want to light up the local stage, head west for the Hollywood lights, or simply overcome your fear of public speaking, I am super excited to contribute to your success!
