NICOLE CALLAHAN
HEY, I’M NICOLE!
I’m an Austin native and earned my BFA in Theatre at Texas State.
After graduation, I headed to Hollywood, where I spent nearly a decade training at some of the top acting studios and working steadily in TV and commercials. You might’ve caught me on Friday Night Lights, How I Met Your Mother or Days of Our Lives.
Over time, my passion for performance evolved into a calling to coach. I launched Acting UP Network in Los Angeles—a studio that quickly became a trusted training ground for emerging talent referred by top agents and managers.
In 2016, life brought me and my family to the Heartland, where I’ve continued to grow as a teacher, mentor, and curriculum developer. I now specialize in helping actors transition from aspiring actors to working professionals by offering training that blends technique with industry insight. My actors leave with a deeper understanding of both the craft and the business of acting.
In addition to my work with performers, I coach sales professionals, leaders, and executives who want to improve their communication and presence. From high-stakes presentations to everyday sales calls, I help people deliver with confidence, clarity, and impact—using tools from the stage to transform performance in the boardroom.
Whether your goal is to book your next role or own the room in your next pitch, I’m here to help you show up at your best.
