It’s a privilege to study with Hilary Jardine at Circus Actors Studio! With her decades of experience in film and television, I feel lucky to have the opportunity to strengthen my craft under her guidance. She creates a fun, collaborative and safe class atmosphere where students feel comfortable to go outside of their comfort zones and expand thier art. One of the most valuable outcomes of studying at the studio is the sense of community created. Here I have studied with wonderful, inspiring actors that have become treasured friends. Looking forward to my next class!

Working with Hilary has brought nothing but true joy, discovery, and growth. She always brings an endless amount of positive energy and support to every coaching, and encourages me to find the truth and authenticity for every character that I play. I am so grateful for the tools that Hilary has taught me, and supporting me and guiding me along the way. Not only an amazing mentor, Hilary is a dedicated, supportive, and inspiring coach. And I’ve had so much fun. I can’t wait for more. 

Hilary’s coaching combines the wisdom of a working actor with decades of experience in the industry with the spark of a up-and-comer. She brings such a bright energy to her sessions that allows the actor to feel safe to explore what arguably may be our most important task-  to show up with vulnerability and an open-heart. I am forever grateful for the tangible tools Hilary has taught me. Her coaching style is collaborative, and focuses not only on how to have your emotions readily available, but also on the importance of an actor’s resilience.

Working with Hilary Jardine is like taking an uplifting masterclass in acting. She encourages authenticity when workshopping characters, helping to bring characters to life on self-tapes. Having worked with her for many seasons of VanHelsing, I can personally vouch that she's an immensely talented actress. She brings that talent as your self-tape coach which elevates performances in the most truthful and entertaining way.

I have had the privilege of working with Hilary on several occasions, and offer the highest of recommendations of her as both an actor and a coach. She encompasses what I believe to be the most important aspect of acting, the ability to find and embody the truth within a performance. I look forward to the next time I am able to work with her again.

It has been my pleasure and honor to be one of Hilary's teachers over the last several years. She is at once professional and inspirational, and she knows what it takes to thrive in this business without losing your soul. Hilary's lessons and coaching will be incredibly valuable to any actor regardless of experience. Work with this beautiful human; you won’t regret it.

Working with Hilary has taken my confidence as an actress to an entire new level. Her positive support and years of experience leaves you walking away from each coaching session full of creativity, choices and confidence. I have this beautiful toolbox that I resort to when I have an audition. There's something to be said when you're being coached by a working actress - she's in there working with you, feeling the emotions and exploring the work as you discover the material. She never wants you to stop discovering the material. She and I put a great focus on MOW's when we first started working together, she shared her insight on the style and approach to the genre, specifically Hallmark. Over the last 5 months, I've been pinned a number of times and recently booked a really nice role on a Hallmark movie that shoots this fall. Hilary's coaching sessions provided me with a clearer sense of how to approach every audition with fresh eyes and an open heart.

Hilary Jardine, what can I say? She’s a smart, attentive and experienced actor who brings a sense of fun and commitment to every coaching. What separates her from other coaches I’ve had is that she is totally present, and simply wants me to find the truth and be my best. If this were a google review, I’d give her as many stars as possible-my favourite coach. Thanks Hilary, can’t wait for my next booking!

Hilary is a fantastic coach (as well as a phenomenal actor) and I highly recommend working with her. She has an authentic, natural intuition when it comes to understanding the details of character and story, and easily communicates insightful, intelligent notes in a supportive, constructive, collaborative way. I always walk away from a session feeling like Hilary showed me how to find more clarity and complexity, and therefor more confidence, in my work.

I’ve been lucky enough to work with this beautiful artist for over 10 years. I’ve watched her develop her craft through her own experience as well as some top actor training in Canada. She’s been able to share her extensive knowledge with her students and provide a safe, comfortable and fun environment.
