How to Get the Part...Without Falling Apart!: Featuring the Haber Phrase Technique for Actors

It helped me win my internal battles with myself and it motivated me. Great book to help you overcome fear and overthinking when audituoning.

This book is outstanding. I love how it focuses on the audition process, which, when compared to technique itself, there are far fewer of these books out there, and this, in my opinion is the best. The author uses a lot of philosophical insight, which really opens something up within you. I really enjoyed every section and the Haber Phrase method to reading chunks of lines together was a really nice treat, worth the purchase price alone. There's a neat panel transcribed towards the end of the book that offers the viewpoints of agents, managers, CD's etc…with lots of interesting tips and information. If there's any drawbacks at all to this book, I'd say that I didn't get much out of the exposes leading into each chapter. They give accounts etc.., of previous students, all having garnered some level of success. But overall, well worth the purchase and a book you should enjoy. I can't wait to get some auditions now.

The book came on time and is in pristine condition. Love it! The seller also left a cute note thanking me for purchasing the book from them. I will definitely consider buying books from this seller again as they've proven to be reliable and provide a good product in a timely manner!

In her book, Margie gives you practical insight from many years as a coach and teaches you how to prepare for the audition quickly and efficiently without missing a beat(You know actors don't get a lot of time to prepare for auditions). The phrase technique is magic use it you will not regret it, I promise. Some light bulbs definitely turned on for me, nothing I haven't heard before but simply the way she teaches works for me. The transcription at the end is GOLD read it!

Nice outline of how to do the work. The examples and student stories left me feeling the book was outdated.

Wonderful book!! Margie knows what she’s talking about for sure, and brings in a lot of her students’ experiences as well. Her industry knowledge is so helpful to hear and her technique is fresh and the best I’ve found. I’m taking classes at her studio (in LA) and I would so recommend it! Great philosophy and approach to acting and auditioning.

Though this book comes highly recommended, as an acting professional I find the technique, for cold reading and auditioning especially, misdirected and manipulative. The best approach for being "real" at an audition, I believe, requires absolute 100% attention on the other person - this book's technique is too concerned with keeping one's place and not making reading mistakes. An actor should certainly be adept and practiced at reading accurately, but attention to that detail should not be a consideration during the audition. Working actors know that when an actor's attention is totally with the other, the involvement is rivetting and mistakes are of no consequence.

I think that if you are in LA, its best to take her class. She has said herself that her process has changed since writing this book but this book still is inspiring and great!

Perfect! Loved the book, it’s so full of content, GOOD CONTENT!

I purchased this book for my daughter as a Christmas present and she absolutely loves it.

I bought this book and it was received (as a Christmas present) with great appreciation (!) by my girlfriends' son, Michael Peters, who is studying in Essex and is eagerly training to become an actor.From what I have seen, he has the right attitude and outlook on his future.He is hoping to become an established actor.I wish him well for the future. I think he will do very well. :-)

As described. Fast delivery
