For more than 40 years, Margie Haber has been known as Hollywood’s top audition coach, and she opened her Los Angeles acting studio in 1986. Her teaching philosophy is based on a 10-step approach to creating a character’s life and on Haber Phrasing™, an alternative to memorization that uses the paper in hand while staying present and connected. Margie’s philosophy is summed up in the goal to “be a complicated human being,” which she connects to the “creation of life” in acting and further explores in her second book, F*ck Your Comfort Zone.
Acting classes for teens and young adults ages 14–21 and for kids ages 7–13 are taught by highly trained, professional actors who coach and mentor students to audition for film, TV, and commercials. The leadership and teaching team includes Margie Haber (Founder / Master-Level Instructor), Hamish Sturgeon (Creative Director / Master-Level Instructor), Diane Charles (Advanced), Jim Nieb (Advanced / Improvisation), Iman Nazemzadeh (Intermediate), William Gressman (Intermediate), Jack Perry (Beginners), Gabriella Gonzalez Biziou (Beginners), Chris Schellenger (Kids & Teens), Saydee Dickinson (Teens), Drew Horton (Improvisation), and Melanie Nicholls-King (Virtual Classes). In-person and online classes at the Margie Haber Acting Studio are described as safe, fun, intimate, and nurturing, and the studio is described as a safe space for students to create, grow, and work toward their career goals at any experience level.
Testimonials about Margie Haber and the studio include comments from Brad Pitt, Tiffany Haddish, Halle Berry, Kyle Chandler, Storm Reid, Ethan Peck, Melanie Nicholls-King, Colin Egglesfield, and Terrell Battle. These testimonials describe experiences such as taking a three-day weekend intensive, preparing for auditions, working on scripts (or “slices”), and using Margie’s audition technique in a limited amount of time.
