“I feel at times, Hollywood strips away the art and encourages a paint-by-number type of approach. I strive to change that, ” Annie shares. She starts with “what does it mean to be an artist?”. In this town, in these times, that question has more relevance than ever before. Annie Grindlay is an actress, a teacher, and most importantly, a nurturer of the artist within the actor. Annie began teaching the art of auditioning at The Margie Haber Studio in 1988. For 20 years she honed and perfected what it means to “tell the truth” and in 2009 opened her own studio, “The Audition Experience.”
