In the 1980's, audition coach, Margie Haber, was working with two unknown actors on their audition technique, Michael Easton and Brad Pitt. Coincidentally, both of them ended up screen testing for the same role in a film called, "Thelma & Louise." Little did anyone know that his supporting part in the movie would turn out to be a breakthrough role for Brad, flinging open the door to his future success. It was the opportunity of a lifetime, and he was prepared for it.
  

Based on Margie Haber's 25 years of experience as an actress and teacher, "How To Get The Part Without Falling Apart!" promises to take away the three P's: pain, panic and performance anxiety from the cold reading process and give back the big P: POWER to the actor. It is filled with real-life, often hilarious audition stories from her clients and some of the nation's leading actors and actresses, with comments and anecdotes from over fifty top industry professionals. The book is divided into four sections, each dealing with a different aspect of auditioning: Getting Out of Your Own Way, Breaking Down the Scene, The Haber Phrase Technique, and Words From the Pros.

"Margie understands actors and is wonderful with them. She has developed a fabulous technique for auditioning and getting the job in a limited amount of time."
(Jerry McGuire, Addicted to Love)

HALLE BERRY:
"..I came to see Margie, worked with her, got a whole bunch of great ideas and was so prepared to go back. I was going to go get this job and I was gonna knock their socks off because I was so ready..
(Monster's Ball, Bulworth, Losing Isaiah, The Flintstones)

STEPHEN COLLINS:
"I've worked with Margie and she has an uncanny ability to see you the way producers and casting people will see you and to get you to move through things that are often unconsciously holding you back from getting the roles you want and deserve."
(7th Heaven, First Wives Club)
