TESTIMONIALS


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!
— Jarret Knowles, Actor. When Calls The Heart, Smallville, Cedar Cove, Arctic Air.
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.

Hilary knows what it takes for an actor to successfully tap into both the inner depths of their dramatic work and the subtleties of comedy. As a seasoned working actress, she brings to the table a dynamic skill set: she’s performed extensively in dramas like Homeland and Zoo, while also creating fan favorite comedic characters in Single Cam comedies, like Greg Daniel’s AMAZON series, Upload. She is an asset to any actor looking to deepen their characters, as well hone their comedic choices.

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.
