Actors will also learn her Haber Phrase Technique - no more memorizing!  Margie teaches her method, "Stop Acting, and Start Living the Life of the Character," which is based on her book, How To Get the Part Without Falling Apart.  This method gives actors the tools they need to audition for
film & television as well as theater & commercials.  Margie teaches all over the world, and her success in Hollywood validates the power of her technique.  Do not miss this opportunity to learn from a teacher of this caliber while she is in Louisiana for one night only!
