"Working with Hannah Citrin my senior year of high school was one the best decisions I made back when I lived in Miami. Not only was she the best and most specific college audition coach, but she really did give me my own voice as an actor, and showed how I should be myself and find myself in these characters. To make everything my own and I am so grateful for that. Thanks to Hannah now I am studying at my dream school here in Boston and learning so much, but I simply would have never gotten here without her help and guidance not only as coach, but as an individual and friend! Get ahold of Hannah when you can because she really is remarkable, and we shared the best memories and stories!"
“Hannah is absolutely one of the most vibrant teachers I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She was my director for a production at the Miami Children's Theatre and through out the process I learned a great deal about finding the honesty in playing an extreme. Even though she doesn't live in Miami anymore, I still stay in contact with her and send her videos of my monologues when I need her help and ask for her opinions. Hundreds of miles away, Hannah has still been able to guide me, demonstrating her passion and commitment she has for teaching. She truly builds a beautiful relationship with her students, and I can confidently say that I trust her and admire her enlightening spirit.”
“I was absolutely terrified of monologues before my senior year of high school; but as soon as I started working with Hannah she immediately made the process seem less daunting. Hannah gave me a clear roadmap in terms of monologue quality, character development, and audition preparation. She was always available to chat about your pieces or any insecurities before an audition. Thanks to Hannah's guidance, I now dig deeper when given a monologue/ role thus making the outcome of the performance much more rewarding.”
“If you are looking for an incredible and dedicated acting coach who will take your talent to its full potential, work with Hannah Citrin. I seriously cannot rave enough about my experience with her and the lasting impact it has had on my thriving acting career.
I hired Hannah as my private acting coach to help me train for college theater auditions, and I can honestly say that it was the best decision I made. Not only did I get into every college theater program that I auditioned for including NYU Tisch, University of Southern California (USC), UCLA, and Emerson College, but I received large talent-based scholarships to every school as well.
I now attend USC and I am a working actress represented by both an agent and a manager who send me auditions several times a week for TV shows, commercials, and films. In fact, my current manager has seen me act since I was 14 years old and never agreed to represent me until after I trained with Hannah. He saw me perform a monologue that I worked on with her and was blown away by my transformation. Almost four years later, I still use my college audition pieces regularly because they are just that good. Thank you Hannah!”
"Working with Hannah Citrin was a vital part of my preparation for college auditions. Without her, I would not be studying at the New Studio on Broadway for Musical Theater at Tisch School of the Arts at NYU in New York City. I continue to implement the skills she taught me during our one-on-one coaching's in my work today and have continued to work with the hard working and professional drive she instilled in me a couple of years ago. Not only that, but she is one of the sweetest, most professional, fun, and incredible people I've ever met and worked with! I highly recommend working with her for any type of acting help you may need!"
“Hannah Citrin first of all, is an incredible person. She’s personable, easy to talk to, fun to be around and establishes a feeling of love for the craft of acting that lights a fire inside of you. I had Hannah at two points in my life, when I was auditioning for New World School of the Arts, a great art school in Miami, Florida, and I had her when I was auditioning for colleges. Not only did I get into New World, a high school she also went to, I got into 4 out of 9 great colleges for acting and waitlisted to 2 more. I decided to go to Southern Methodist University, an incredible school for acting and I know I wouldn’t have done as well as I did without the extremely valuable help she gave me. From helping me find great monologues and a great song to working the pieces, she gave me the tools I needed to nail each audition. It never felt like the work was tiring or boring because her personality and drive compelled me to succeed.”
“Naïve and very lost, I approached Hannah for audition prep with the goal of enrolling in the Theater Division at New World School of the Arts, a conservatory high school where students tackle rigorous BFA-style curricula in the visual and performing arts. We embarked on a monologue search that ended with a comedic piece—a piece I was terrified to work on but that Hannah believed I could master. Instead of throwing me to wolves of comedy alone, Hannah tactfully broke down the elements of the monologue, helping me understand exactly what to do to be funny. Through a series of sessions, I fostered the confidence I needed to walk into the audition room prepared. Apart from the monologue work, Hannah was not only an acting teacher but also an experienced performer who understood the anxiety of auditioning. Her skill and the training sessions ultimately helped land me one of 16 spots—out of an applicant pool of hundreds—from which I began my journey in the theater arts.”
