“Holly really broke down the process of auditioning for film and television and made it accessible. Even to an old theater dog like me. I found my auditions became more specific to the screen and much more compelling for a casting director.”
Deborah Ann Woll, Actress “True Blood” |
“Well, I have some good news to share…I booked the pilot ”Community”. Thanks again for your help and I hope to work with you again in the future (but not too soon!).”
Danny Pudi, Actor "Community" |
“On a very positive note, I did get a callback for a sitcom...and on an even better note I booked the show! I owe it all to you and the techniques. I really have appreciated all the work in your sessions. I can't thank you enough Holly!”
Steve Byrne, Actor, Comedian |
“I cannot emphasize enough how much my career has benefited from Holly's tutelage. After taking with her, I knew what to expect in the room during all phases of casting. She demystified the audition process and her techniques helped keep me calm and focused in the audition room. All of these have directly led to success in my career.”
Elizabeth Ho, Actress

“Just three weeks into Holly’s audition technique class, I have booked two shows! Holly has helped ground me in my work & has helped to take away the mystique from the producers callback. I highly recommend her.”
Josh Latzer, Actor

“I’m thrilled that Holly is bringing her extensive casting experience into the classroom!”

“A former Casting Director for 23 years she knows what it takes to deliver in the office. She teaches a four week Audition Workshop “From Pre-Read To Network”. I am getting great reports about this class.”

“Holly
Powell knows acting! I know because she
has cast shows that I have directed. Holly’s
knowledge of the process of acting gives
her the unique skills to coach an actor
into a better performance. Her compassion
for actors provides a safe haven to risk
and try new choices. When I teach with
Holly, our styles are so compatible. I
think what we have in common is that we
genuinely LIKE actors and RESPECT what
they do”.

“There’s
a great class with Holly Powell in Los Angeles, she walks you through the four
steps of testing: Pre-Read, Producers, Studio, and Network. I think the more
we can arm ourselves with what each step is about, the more at ease we’ll
feel. It demystifies it, which is exactly what that process needs. Bring it down
from the epic to the mundane.”
Seana Kofoed,
Actress “Men In Trees” (ActorsLife.com) |
“As a successful
personal manager for more than twenty
years I have worked with many Casting
Directors. The most knowledgeable of them
all is Holly Powell. Due to the combination
of her professional experience, practical
understanding of the casting process and
her fondness for actors, Holly has created
an extraordinary workshop, unlike all
others, that shows actors how to easily
navigate the steps needed to win the role!
The end result: a working actor (and a
happy manager that sent the client.)

“
Yours was one of the first workshops I
took when I moved to LA last year and
today I am sooooo grateful that I did.
I just booked “Days Of Our Lives.” Instead of being
nervous about the audition I had a blast
and loved it, because I had a good solid
base on what to expect thanks to your
workshop.”
Marie Del Marco,

“
I had gone on hundreds of auditions and
wasn’t booking. My third audition
after your class I booked a Disney series!
Thanks Holly, you really know what you
are doing!”
Bryant Johnson,

“Having
graduated from a top 10 BFA Acting program,
I’m careful about selecting classes
that will compliment the training I already
have. No University teaches what Ms Powell
does. She has such a unique perspective,
having worked in every level of the casting
process, and brings real-world experiences
and examples into her classroom. Ms Powell’s
ability to coach an audition from the
perspective of the Casting Director, Producer,
and Studio and Network Executive is indispensable
for any actor to audition for TV. She
has such a kind heart for actors and their
craft. She is a true pleasure to work
with and to learn from.”
Ian Delaney, Actor

“Holly, I just want to thank you again
for all your wonderful audition techniques.
I was able to apply them instantly and
after having a one year drought on callbacks,
I booked 2 national commercials in one
day! Thank you so much for all your wisdom,
and real life scenarios that I was able
to employ instantly! You are a blessing
from God in my book and I am already recommending
your class”
Jamie Burton-Oare,
