• "Nathan is a hard-working and extremely versatile talent who’s been blessed with both great instincts and comedic timing. Thanks to his electric performance in my play, "Eternal Flamer! The Ballad of Jessie Blade," I was able to see new shades and dimensions in my characters that I didn’t even know existed. He’s truly a playwright’s dream come true!"
  
  -Tommy Jamerson
  Playwright, New York City
• "Nathan Harding played a lead role in the theatrical premiere of my comedy, "Fashionable Carry." With his infectious sweetness and humor, Nathan brought the character vividly to life. As I was also the production’s director, I found Nathan a joy to work with, as did the other actors. He approached acting with the confident honesty and playfulness of someone who embraces life’s experiences fully. He was also extremely helpful with his social media skills in helping me market the production. And Nathan is simply one of the nicest people I know."

• "Nathan Harding is the definition of a hard-working actor. He puts in the work to each role to make it the best that it can be. He adapts quickly to direction and takes each role to a new level. He’s professional, prompt and a good actor. He not only raises himself up but gets the others in the production to work to be their best. Nathan is focused and positive and a joy to work with."

• “How can I begin? There are so many delightful qualities to describe my working experience with Nathan Harding. Nathan is a professional. He is always quick to answer my emails which made me feel that he cares and is concerned about his work. He works extremely well with the other actors, is always helpful if I need a helping hand, and is extremely punctual.
  
  Nathan was in my play “Queer Monologues and Short Plays Too!” He played the role of Steve. Steve carried the baggage of a broken heart. But fate was kind and, one fine day, Steve found love for the second time around. Nathan added a warmth that made the audience laugh, cry and simply fall in love with the character. He also performed monologues and was never shy to bring in the audience. I was very impressed by the applause he received and I would never hesitate to ask Nathan to work with me again. As I stated earlier, he is a delight and a professional.”
