Meet Coach Frankie Petrino! This Fall semester, Frankie is coaching Intro Actor Teens on Thursdays at 5:45pm and News Network for kids at 4pm on Fridays.

Francesca “Frankie” Petrino is a passionate storyteller with a love for human connection. She grew up in the world of theatre, where she received vocal, screen, and theater training, particularly with companies like Fusion Music Group, the Grove Theatre, Legacy Theatre, and more.

Alongside her love for theater, Francesca continuously turned to writing. She made her writing debut at only twelve years old, performing her story of “Ricky the Chicken” at the local Wadsworth Auditorium. Then, she published her first book at seventeen years old: a book of poetry entitled, The Sunshine Project.

Francesca later attended the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she chose to combine her passions by majoring in Dramatic Writing for Film and Television. Throughout her time at SCAD, she worked as a project manager, stage manager, event coordinator, guest service advocate, and an art teacher. She wrote a dozen short films, an episode of a stop-motion animated series, two feature films, two adaptations, one adapted pilot, one original pilot, one children’s book, and a second book of poetry.

Since relocating to the MetroAtlanta area, Francesca has been working as a screenwriter, content creator, production assistant, project manager - and more! She wears a lot of hats, assisting companies like RocketSlide films, Unvent Productions, and Studio South Atlanta.

Meet Coach Cassie Boyd Baker! You can find Cassie teaching voice over classes this fall on Thursday nights from 7:00-8:15pm. 🎙️🎧

With 20+ years experience behind the microphone, Cassie has had a diverse career in voice over working in commercials, animation, video games, apps, and audiobooks.

A Hoosier native, Cassie grew up performing in dozens of theatre shows throughout central Indiana, getting her first professional job while a kid in a production of Annie featuring JoAnne Worley. Pausing her theatre work to pursue her degree in Psychology from Taylor University, Cassie couldn’t shake the performing bug and spent subsequent years performing in regional and dinner theatres, on cruise ships, and in stage shows in NYC.

While living in NYC, she caught the attention of a prominent voice over agent who convinced her that Los Angeles would be a better fit for her voice type, so she spent the next 13 years in the Los Angeles voice over market working in animation for companies like Warner Bros, Disney, Nickelodeon, as well as commercially for top brands like Apple, McDonalds, JC Penny’s, UPS Store, to name a few.

When Cassie isn’t behind the microphone in her Atlanta-area home studio, she loves to work on her newest obsession of helping entrepreneurs with their marketing strategy, enjoying her friends, and hanging out with her family!
