"It can be very hard, as one gets older, to dig into what blocks you- impeding your work, your flow, your joy, etc- and I am deeply grateful to you for giving me a safe space in which I can reveal those things so I can exorcise it and be in my bliss again!" - Darius DeHaas
"Honesty. You showed me how to be honest in this business, THE ARTS and myself . When I came into your class I was lost. I had auditioned like a mad man. I had done seminars and met with casting directors and agents. I produced web shows with people that I didn't see eye to eye with on the art. So you make me think about being Honest about my Type, Look and my Abilities. I have been auditioning for a long time and I hate being type casted. Yeah, I know they want to type you because you look a certain way. But my heart and guts tell me that it doesn't have to be that way. I don't have to play a cabbie or tough guy or a terrorist or the funny Indian guy. (I'm not Indian BTW, lol.) So I came back to being Honest. When I play a character, I have to be totally honest in those moments. But then I'm not honest with my self when the camera stops or when the lights black out on stage... So I'm not a writer or director or have any formal training, but who needs a method when you have passion?
Thanks, Heidi. You saved me big time...I almost quit 2 months prior and thanks for giving back to the Arts ..to receive things you must first give back..." - Zeshan Bhatti
"I have been doing this since I was 5 years old, taken a million acting classes and yours was the only one that I actually felt truly helped me as a blocked artist." - Lauren Toub
"I seriously cannot thank you enough for the gift of working with you. These classes and the homework have been a mind-blowing experience. Thank you for helping me break through walls! I feel like The Hulk!" Laura Daniel
"I am loving your class-- thank you! I am learning so much and trying to soak it up like a sponge." - Myra Thibault
"I have been reflecting on the class all week and whenever i think about it i feel calm. Just calm about my work and calm about the future and that is rare for me. Your class really is a safe space to work in and i've not felt that before." Katie Honaker
"You gave me the shot of adrenaline I needed, now to stay on Cloud 9." David B Martin
"Today was the first audition where I really felt like I took back the power in the room, and thus no matter what happens, I feel really great about what I did! And more confident in my abilities for next time. Do I think it was the best work I've done in an audition? No, definitely not, but it was definitely the best overall audition experience I've had in a looong, looong time, or maybe ever. And now I feel like I can focus more on the prep for the actual work - I know, craaaazy idea :) - instead of freaking out about going into the room. All thanks to techniques you've shared with us. I just had to share that with you. Thank you!!" - Faith Aronowitz
"I loved your class and it really did help to boost my confidence ( as well as my skills) as I head back out to the wilds of LA." - Mia Baron
"I'd love for you to know that I still apply your audition technique and find it invaluable. In fact I just booked a recurring role on Boardwalk Empire season 3 " - Katy Wright-Meade
"It was really nice to get to know you again after all these years, and I do feel that what I learned in the class has fundamentally changed how I audition on camera. No small thing!" - Dashiell Eaves
"He said, "Yep. I can tell Ana Maria's been working with Heidi Marshall"." - Ana Maria Jomoloca
"I can't believe how much I learned in only 4 weeks! Thank you so much for your expertise but specially for embracing each of one of us the way you did." - Ydaiber Orozco
"I had a good casting session with several indie film casting directors at a network event. I have to say, that they loved the picture you suggested as an Indie shot, overall the scene was a big hit, and it was wonderful to be able to direct them to my website to see my reel for other work. Thanks for pushing for those things to come together. " -Eric D Chase
"Cannot tell you how incredibly painful and helpful (they're so close on the food chain) it was."
"The knowledge and experience I've gained is really invaluable. You are such a dedicated and enthusiastic teacher."
"Even though it should be the easiest thing ever to 'know my type' and be able to market myself as such, I'm finding that I have no clue."
"I never realized how much I limit my personality in an audition."
"I still refer back to the class notes when I am in a rut, years later."
"It was amazing to be building our confidence in front of the camera as well as championing our own individual personalities and talents"
"Working with you, I could look forward to working, playing, falling on my face, getting back up, and growing as a result. "
" Taking this class with Heidi has brought the joy and fun back into the 'work'. I felt like a wounded, exhausted vietnam soldier. But now I feel rejuvenated to get back on the battlefield!"
"I appreciate your honesty, openess and humanitarian down to earth personality. I'm inspired by your commitment to 'work, what works and what doesn't and staying simple'. "
"You are a wonderful teacher and you struck such a wonderful balance between doling out your valuable knowledge and leading us to discover what our strengths are to help us in auditions."
"My audition went AMAZING! They said they had spent all day telling people to adjust the way they were reading and how people were not taking the time that I took thought to thought. I really felt good about it and it also made my acting that much stronger when I sang."
