Top 5 Resources...Number 4 - Margie Haber's book
How To Get The Part Without Falling Apart by Margie Haber, is one of the best acting books I have ever read! Don't just take my word for it. You can check out these online reviews too!
Having had the privilege of studying with Margie personally, I feel I can fully appreciate the gift of the Haber Phrase Technique that she created and teaches so well in her book and in her classes. Margie Haber is an acting coach who specialises in audition technique and cold reading.
Studying and mastering the Haber Phrase Technique will ultimately enable you to stop worrying about the audition and the lines so you can begin to focus on what you are doing! It frees your mind and body from the nerves that so often limit the actor's abilities in the audition process. The Haber Phrase Technique teaches you how you can deliver your best performance and hopefully book the job!
I love to skim through the book to recap on the Haber Phrase Technique. I also like to read the personal testimonies that many well-known actors have shared in the book when they have used the Haber Technique for themselves!
Having used this technique in many auditions, I can assure anyone who wants to read this book or learn more about Margie and her philosophy that you will only become a stronger actor and a better person for it. Margie's emphasis on being well-rounded, and "living the part" is one of the best kept secrets in Hollywood!
Here is an interview with Margie Haber and Backstage West Magazine! This video will give you insight on Margie's technique and teaching philosophy straight from Margie herself!
