Margie Haber Studio, Los Angeles CA

I attended Margie's 3 day Masterclass and I had a great time. She was tremendous helpful and gave each of us specific personal notes after watching us do the work. I left the workshop feeling better about myself and knowing the things I have to work on to be a better actor to ultimately land some jobs. The studio also offer ongoing classes, too. Check out the studio I personally highly recommend it.

Acting classes at Margie Haber have been therapeutic for me. I know that might sound funny but the scripts (slices) I've been working on at Margie Haber provided me chances to personalize them in a positive manner and understand my past and most importantly, myself better. Instructors Iman, Saydee and now, Jim, are all understanding, specific and detailed with their instructions and learning from them and acting out scenes in their classes have been an absolute pleasurable experiences for me.
Margie Haber offers acting classes for beginners all the way up to advanced and masters classes. They offer night classes for the ones who work during the day, like myself, at affordable rates, so if you have a daytime job, you can work and goto your acting class at night.

I had such an amazing experience at this studio doing the 4 week intensive with Diane. Diane was fabulous- she is so helpful and an excellent very knowledgeable teacher. I learned so much and felt a big difference in my confidence in preparation/ freeness in my performance over the course of the intensive. I highly recommend and will be returning next month for ongoing classes.

I studied with Diane Charles this summer, and it was the most validating and enriching experience I could have hoped for it to be! Diane is a kind soul and an outstanding teacher who genuinely cares about her students. She fosters our choices instead of trying to alter or otherwise control them, which is so important. I will continue studying with this studio. High recommendation for Diane, and the self tape service the studio offers is also great.

I haven’t had my class yet, but had many conflicts that arose around scheduling- the team was incredibly helpful, patient and kind despite this. So professional and I appreciate them!

I am so grateful to have found this fantastic studio and the absolute mastery of Diane Charles. The environment is so supportive, you explore all sorts of genres, you dive deep. It has completely transformed my approach to my work and I cannot recommend it enough. Everyone there is so lovely, the self-taping is fantastic as the readers are working actors and so good. A gem.

I took a 4 week week advanced intensive with Diane Charles at the Margie Haber studio and I learned so much in such a short period of time. I previously studied musical theater in NYC and wanted to brush up on my film training. Not only did I learn so much but I feel as though I can walk more comfortably and confidently into an audition and allow myself to be more vulnerable. She really goes in depth with teaching you to not use your own memories when playing a character, so in the long run you don't hurt yourself and it has helped immensly. Also, I made friends that I will keep for a lifetime. Great place to make connections as well!
She is such an amazing teacher, actress and human. This is a great studio for sure! Im so grateful I took classes with her!

This is my favorite acting studio in LA! Their approach is centered around a very positive teaching philosophy. The teachers and community are also very welcoming and awesome.
Margie is a very cool lady and she has passed down her wisdom to me and I am very grateful.

I took the advanced intensive and I got a lot out of the class. I needed to sharpen my tools that I haven’t used in quite some time. I also needed to build my confidence as an actress back up. Diane was wonderful at giving honest feedback while still bringing out the best in me. I learned a lot from her and the class. I can’t wait to take her ongoing classes. I see some reviews that aren’t that positive, but for me I’m so grateful and glad I took this class. I learned and grew from it. I recommend it.

I've been attending Margie Haber Studios via zoom since February of this year. Attending via zoom has been a wonderful experience. It is a bonus opportunity to attend over zoom as I am learning how to perfect my craft in new normal of zoom auditions and call backs. Tania Nolan is outstanding I couldn't ask for a better instructor.

I have been studying at the studio for what is about to be 2 years. Throughout that time, I have had the luxury of studying with many of their amazing teachers, including the spectacular Jim Nieb. This past weekend, I had the opportunity to take Margie's Master Weekend Intensive. It's hard for me to put into words the transformation I experienced. I came into the class excited but nervous because I was going to get to study with Margie Haber herself! As soon as we went through our first exercise, all of my walls dropped and I opened myself up to leaving my comfort zone. Margie has a way of bringing people together to feel like they've known one another for much longer than 3 days. She helped me grow as both a person and an actor. She is a master of creating the life and through her examples, helped me work on that skill, which is at the core of what it means to be an actor. I highly recommend studying at Margie Haber Studio. Everyone there truly cares about people and they have become great mentors and friends.

The best thing I ever did for myself and my relationship to acting was studying at this studio. Every teacher brings out something different in their students and you can see the true passion they have for the craft through the love they instill in each pupil. They challenge you but take time to listen, without judgment, when you resist change or otherwise unpleasant emotions like frustration or sadness come up. I have seen not only myself but countless classmates grow from insecure actors worried to make a mistake, to self-assured people who are open to what life has to offer. The philosphy of acceptance and comradery that this studio fosters will free you up to play with life again and make you remember why you even became an actor in the first place. Thank you to Jim, Will, Hammish, and Margie for the wonderful lessons.
PS highly recommend Margie's Book (F Your Comfort Zone) if you are not based in LA and can't book a class

Building is easy to access and easy to find parking. The online scheduling is very helpful. We’ve been getting auditions from one day to another and having such a great team for recording and coaching needs is great. Very reliable people.

I'm taking the zoom class and feel like I'm missing nothing by being on zoom. I love it. Margie and Diane bring the joy of acting back! I love creating in both classes. I'm like a kid again. You can get so bogged down with auditioning and booking the job that you forget about the creative process. Margie and Diane make acting fun again.

Just completed the Master Level Weekend Intensive with Margie, and it was a truly meaningful and enjoyable time. Even with the logistics-from signing up for the class and accessing the studio- and then with the class itself, I felt so respected as a person and truly positioned for success/fun/etc. (Thank you, Hamish!)

Reading Margie's book, "F*ck Your Comfort Zone", was a personally moving and creatively influential experience, but then actually being in class with Margie for the Weekend Intensive class was exponentially more so: full of beauty/inspiration, fun, and learning. It was an honor-and frankly such a shine of light in my life-to share this space with Margie, to learn about how she creates, and to be with her in real life. At the risk of sounding like I joined a cult, I would say that Margie (and her perspective/approach) has transformed the way I view creating, living the life (i.e. Acting), and loving (e.g. Myself, others, etc.). Big thanks and love to Margie and the folks at the studio who make this all possible.
