Here's what Some of our recent students are saying
“Margie understands actors and is wonderful with them. She has developed a fabulous technique for auditioning and getting the job in a limited amount of time.”
Colin Egglesfield – Actor, “Melrose Place“, “Rizzoli & Isles,” “The Client List,” “All My Children”, Something Borrowed
“When I worked with Margie on the movie, Touch, I was all over the place until she centered my attention on the other character and VOOM! I was suddenly focused. She’s got the magic touch.”
Emily Rose – Actress, “Haven”
“Studying with Margie was a very rewarding experience. With Margie you get what you see. The simplicity yet depth of her approach gave me the ability to realize the power of stillness and that her process is all about capturing the truth. 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”
“Once I knew the audition had been scheduled, Margie was my first phone call. I knew that if anyone could help me get the part, it was Margie.”
Gregg Sulkin – Series Regular, “Wizards Of Waverly Place,” Series Regular – “Faking It,” Recurring Guest Star – “Pretty Little Liars”
