"I've known Happy personally for many years. I had a big audition with a CD that I've been trying to get in front of forever - so when I received the invite I immediately reached out to Happy for help. His approach to staying relaxed was insightful and specific. It's just another way of "keeping the conversation going" he said. No jumping through hoops just honest focused work that was clean, clear and relaxed. Plus he's incredibly encouraging, supportive and honest. It ended up being a great audition with "That was spot on" as my feedback. Happy is a wonderful coach and reasonably priced as well. I can't recommend him enough. "

"In my 20s, I took an acting class run by Happy that had a lasting impact on my artistic life. Even more than the class itself, it was Happy’s way of thinking about the work that stayed with me. His approach speaks not only to actors, but to directors and any artist who understands that bringing your own unique lens to the craft is where the real magic happens."

"Happy Anderson is an amazing actor and I’d love to see him in many more movies. I’m hoping to see more of him in action and suspense and maybe with a bit of a romantic twist."
