Holly is a joy to work with. She is a dedicated, hard working, very giving actor. She brought an enthusiasm to the work every single day that was second to none. Her passion and drive is evident as is her amazing talent.

Holly is an incredible actress. I remember meeting her in the auditions and she blew myself and my producer away with her performance. Holly, without any prior discussions, knew the character inside and out, knew the characters’ thoughts, motivations and weaknesses. She was of course given the lead role in my film.

Working with Holly during the shoot was such a pleasure, she was both an incredible professional and a genuinely lovely person to talk to. She responded very well to direction, portraying just what I had imagined. Not only that, Holly would often make suggestions where appropriate as to how she believed her character may behave in a given scene, resulting in a performance that was even better than I could have believed was possible.

Overall, it was a pleasure and a privilege to work with Holly, she is an amazing actress and great person, and I do hope we work together again.

I recently had the pleasure to work with Holly Woodhouse on my project “Crime Lord” I not only cast her because of her acting talent, but also because I had a feeling she would be fun to work with. Talent is never enough for me, I have to like the people I work with too. After making four feature films, and some shorts, I would say there’s just over half a dozen Lead-Support Actresses-Actors I would work with again from the past. Holly is one of those rare people.

She has an infectious energy and warm spirit, and was a great collaborator on the project as a whole. This was a very low budget project, despite that, Holly was there every step of the way. I would not hesitate to cast her, and I hope to work with her many times in the future. A pleasure to work with. If she is right for your casting, don’t hesitate to hire!

I have worked with Holly on a number of occasions now and on each she has gone above and beyond what was required of her as an actress. Holly had prepared for each role to a high standard and giving her direction was easy as she was quick to make any adjustments to her performance that I asked of her. I am very fortunate to have worked with Holly, she is kind, friendly and easy to work with and I look forward to working with her again. My fellow students have also recognised the contribution that Holly has made to my work, asking me several times if she would be interested in auditioning for their work.

Holly is one of the best actresses I have ever worked with. Holly is always fully prepared for each shoot and her performance on camera is stunning and emotional. The thing you want for an actor or actress is to express emotions on screen in such a way that an audience feels it is genuine and not put on. Holly acted so well in the emotional scenes, that my co-director and I felt that our hearts were in our throats as we really felt Holly’s performance. When we shout action Holly is that character in that time period, in that setting. But most of all it’s not just about great acting you also need a kind, self-possessed and passionate actress to work with as it makes the atmosphere on set relaxed and enjoyable and Holly is that person. I cannot ask for a better actress than Holly.

Holly is a terrific professional and a pleasure to work with. Her attitude and commitment are commendable, she brings a character to life in her own unique way. When it comes to the shoot day Holly is reliable and focused, possessing the mentality to do whatever it takes so that the project runs smoothly. Most importantly she has the talent to take on a variety of challenging roles as well as the positive energy to carry any production.
Valerie Bloom was a character with a dark past and a heavy burden on her shoulders, Holly took to this role with perfection with her every action displaying the tragic nature of the character, on top of this she also performed a powerful voice over and monologue providing greater weight to the words on the page.
I would recommend Holly to anybody looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but gives everything to her role and makes the whole shoot day worthwhile.
