Watch as Colin Egglesfield talks about learning how to audition and develop his cold reading technique with Hollywood acting coach Margie Haber.
“The day I walked into Margie’s class, I knew she wasn’t going to let me get away with anything… She wanted me to dive into my core of pain and sadness. Margie helped me make all kinds of moves.”
- Tiffany Haddish – "Girls Trip", "Like a Boss"
“I came to see Margie, worked with her, got a whole bunch of great ideas and was so prepared to go back. I was going to go get this job and I was gonna knock their socks off because I was so ready.”
- Halle Berry – Actress and Oscar Winner
“I booked the series Goliath and I was pretty stoked. I had been working with Margie on different slices (scripts), and thought I was ready for the rehearsal, but then doubt crept in. My message to Margie was ‘I hate this slice, I hate it.’ Her response was ‘You don’t hate it, you’re scared of it. It’s easier to hate it than look at your truth.’ She reminded me to be kind to myself, to go and create, and enjoy!”
- Brandon Scott – Dead to Me, Goliath
“Margie helped me to let go of my armor, and tap into more of my humor and vulnerability.”
- Melanie Nicholls-King – The Wire, Blackbird, The Gilded Age, Your Honor

“Margie teaches to find the core of the character using a blend of my imagination and my real life experiences. To make choices that feed me and effect me emotionally… otherwise what’s the point?! Margie makes me excited about the unknown and teaches me to fall forward with the glass half-full attitude. She turned “acting” into “living,” and having her app is like having her with you in your pocket!”
- Travis Van Winkle – Series Regular, “The Last Ship” (Tnt)

The Haber technique is by far one of the most effective tools I use when I’m auditioning.”
- Haaz Sleiman – 2008 Spirit Award Nominee For “The Visitor”
