There is so much good stuff in this course! I learned things I didn't expect, techniques that can help me in other areas. It is an honest, intriguing, thoughtful, and wonderful course. The information provided is so valuable!
Excelent content
Nina Foch is an undeniable force. The course was so captivating that I completed it in almost a day. It includes many practical exercises for both actors and directors and gives you tools that you can actually use at work (and life). It's not just theory. As an actor, I have kept many notes and can't wait to put her teachings into practice. I think anyone who has aspirations to work in the film industry will take away many lessons from this course.
I finished this course two days ago and I've been thinking about it ever since. How incredibly immersive it was and how Nina had me hooked by the third lecture. This contains valuable information and so many wonderful tools to better yourself as an artist- be it an actor, director, writer or other. I'd recommend this course to anybody, it's an absolute gem.
it was amazing
From an actor's point of view, I found the breaking down of the scene lines from a director's vision extremely helpful. To me this is a means of improving the collaborative effort required to successfully tell the story the writer intended.
Very insightful
