Alexander Draper

Great class! Alex is a great professor, and I definitely learned a lot about acting technique in the course. We did vocal exercises at the beginning of every class, which was great, and a lot of monologue work (challenging but rewarding). Overall, great class, very fun, and I'd take it again!

Acting 1 with Alex was an amazing experience! Whether you have a lot of background in theatre, or this is your first time stepping into acting shoes at all, this is the class for you. This class made a lot of us (including myself) break out of our shell and learn how to make better eye contact with people, how to perform at an audition, and taught valuable skills that not only apply to the stage, but also in real life social situations. There was not a lot of work in this class besides memorizing some lines, that being said, Alex does expect students to come to class prepared with readings and plays just like in any other class.

The class is so fun, and no matter your theatre level you will most likely enjoy it and learn something useful. The class does not require that much work outside of class, but the few readings that are assigned you have to do, as these are big parts of the class.
