“When actors know that they have a chance to play a role that they wouldn’t normally play, there is an excitement for the challenge and the chance to stretch. Every actor longs for that.” – Michelle Danner

“What I teach is not only how to be a great actor but a sense of self-knowledge. Life is about teaching us lessons.” – Michelle Danner

” She’s been working with me in between the rehearsals just on my part, because it’s a huge, huge undertaking—finding the colors and the nuances. So we’ve been working together, and she’s been coaching me.” – Anne Archer

“Miss Danner gives a heartbreaking, nuanced performance, as the mother trying at all costs to protect her son from learning the truth about his father and fooling herself, into believing that her love, is enough to save him.” – Examiner

“Here are the haute secrets of Michelle Danner, Artistic Director at Edgemar Center of the Arts. Danner, one of the most successful acting coaches in Hollywood, is also the director of the film version of John Buffalo Mailer’s Hello Herman, starring Norman Reedus, Martha Higareda and newcomer Garrett Backstrom.” – Haute Living Magazine

“If there is one rule to Danner’s approach, it is that she embraces no single technique. ‘I embrace all acting techniques,’ she explains. ‘People get very dogmatic when it comes to what works for you as an actor. I believe there are many ways to get to it. Use what works for you.” – Emmy Magazine

“The updated language is easily woven into the original text and remarkably does not deter from the story, yet somehow enhances its relativity.” – Splash Magazines

“I read the script about 5 years ago. Since then it was project I felt needed attention,” Michelle said with gusto. “The general reception sparked conversation and that is one of the goals of ‘Hello Herman.’ We had screenings and hour long conversations would follow.” – Allie Is Wired Magazines

“I’ve always been fascinated by what makes a great moment in acting, and of course if you’re able to join the many great moments together then you do come up with a great performance.” – Michelle Danner
