SPACE FOR MISTAKES.
ROOM TO GROW.

MK Performing Arts is a Smyrna-based performing arts studio serving performers across Atlanta. We pair high-caliber coaching with a calm, welcoming environment.

You work with coaches who’ve stood where you’re standing now—shaky hands, weird auditions, “was that terrible?” questions and all. This is a studio where it’s safe to try, safe to mess up, and safe to come back next week and keep growing.

READY FOR YOUR NEXT STEP? IT’S EASIER THAN YOU THINK

"I cannot say enough about MK Performing Arts, and Michael Karl. I have been working with him this year and he is PHENOMENAL. There were certain parts of my voice that I was insecure about and he helped me find my confidence. I’ve learned so many new techniques with my voice that have broadened my range and I’m now hitting high notes I didn’t know I could hit. I am so grateful for everything I’ve learned. Michael is such a fun, caring, and supportive coach. He holds such a safe space to try, fail, try again, fail, then get it right with his coaching. I always reach out for tips and he is so responsive and thorough with his advice. This is the BEST studio!!"

– Monica G., Current Performer on Virgin Voyages
