When actors step onto a stage or in front of a camera, they rarely think of their bodies as instruments or tools capable of nuanced, repeatable emotion. But that’s exactly how Murisa Harba sees it. As an award-winning actress, director, and founder of About The Work Actors Studio, she has developed a method that helps actors channel truth from within and deliver it with precision.
Her system gives performers more than a creative edge. It gives them control. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head, overwhelmed by choices, or disconnected in your performance, Murisa’s methodology offers a repeatable path back to clarity, confidence, and connection.
From Emotional Paralysis to Embodied Performance
At the core of every great performance is truth. But for many actors, that truth is hard to access. They freeze in auditions, overthink every line, or feel emotionally numb when it matters most. Murisa Harba’s Chakra Approach® directly solves this by training actors to access emotion through their bodies, not through past trauma or hope.
Using seven key energy centers, actors learn to treat their bodies like musical instruments. They activate emotional frequencies the same way a musician plays notes. The result is consistent, embodied performances that work across unlimited takes and auditions. “When your body knows where to go, it responds instantly. That’s when confidence takes over,” Murisa says.
This isn’t theory. It’s practice. Students not only unlock emotional range on cue, they also report deep personal healing and greater ease under pressure. Emotional memory becomes a trained skill, not a lucky accident.
Clarity That Connects with Casting
Beyond emotion, actors need to make clear choices that resonate with directors. That’s where Murisa’s Macro Method® comes in. It teaches actors to prep scripts like the people hiring them, directors, producers, and casting professionals. Instead of performing for approval, actors begin delivering performances that solve creative problems.
Actors learn how to decode the scene’s function, align their choices with the project’s tone, and stand out by making decisions that serve the story. “You’re not there to guess. You’re there to connect with intention,” Murisa explains. This clarity removes the fog of over-analysis and replaces it with purpose.
The result is more than callbacks. It’s the kind of authority that gets actors remembered, hired, and referred.
Training That Builds Creators
Murisa’s mission isn’t just to help actors book more roles. It’s to help them become creators, directors, and leaders in their own careers. Her students often evolve beyond traditional audition tracks. They build reels, produce short films, and create opportunities for themselves instead of waiting for them.
This empowerment is no accident. It’s built into the training. Murisa’s studio doesn’t just teach craft. It teaches mindset, ownership, artistry, and longevity.
With over 14 years of experience teaching at the SAG-AFTRA Conservatory, a best-selling book (Acting With Energy), and students across five continents, Murisa has built a reputation rooted in results. She teaches from experience not theory, and her work behind the camera gives actors an inside track that few coaches can offer.
Conclusion
Acting isn’t about hoping it works. It’s about knowing it will. Murisa Harba gives actors the systems to make emotion repeatable, choices intentional, and performances unforgettable. Her Chakra Approach® and Macro Method® unlock what’s already inside the actor and sharpen it for the real world.
In an industry where genuine connection wins, Murisa helps actors do more than stand out. She helps them lead. If you’re ready to trust your body, align with the story, and create with purpose, this method is your next breakthrough.
