Comment:
Diane is a wonderful person and I love her. But she definitely picks her favorites and if you're not one of them it's hard to get lots of feedback. She focuses a lot on her favorites and spends more time on time. She does give a lot of useful advice and feedback.

Diane I've learnt is one of those people you either love or hate. I personally love her, she gives great feedback and really knows how to coach students in their scenes. She is so funny but she also pushes you Most of my homework during the semester was for her class but it wasn't too hard, and I actually enjoyed most of it because it was useful.

Diane picks her favorites the first day of class and they are very apparent. She dedicates more of her in class time to her favorites. I still learned a lot from her class, but I've had better acting coaches.

Absolutely the best teacher I've ever had. She is tough, she will push you, she will force you to really look at how badly you want to be an actor, and she knows her stuff. Never even heard of Chekhov, now, I LOVE his work. Diane is a master of Stanislavski technique and if you want to be a working actor, take her classes!!!

Diane is a wonderful person and you can tell she has a great understanding for the methods of acting. Commit to this class. You need to show up. Read the plays. Do your work outside of class. Everything she assigns is extremely relevant. Can't wait to have another class with her. She has helped me become a better actor.

Comment:
Diane is a very interesting woman. There are days that you love her and there are days that you get really frustrated because if she picks her favorite, she will focus on that person the entire time. Chekhov gets a little exhausting but I learned A LOT from her, so it is a really good beginning class

Diane is a smart woman. She is skilled as a teacher and really cares to bring out each student's talent and help them apply it. She is pretty lenient, but don't walk all over her. The more you do the less slack you'll get by the end. Easy grader and a very fun person. I can't wait to take her class again.

She is amazing! If you have an open mind, she can really help you improve your skills and technique by giving you a different way of thinking while you're acting. There's a lot of prep work and written work, but she is definitely worth it! And don't miss classes, because you just frustrate everyone in the course. I would definitely take her again.

she's a good teacher and knows what she is talking about. if you show up ready to work and don't slack off you'll do fine. if you don't show up you're just being a burden to her and the rest of the class. i would definitly take a class with her again.

Only the best acting teacher in the world. Honestly. If you don't get anything from her then might as well switch majors, or be prepared to be the type of actor who stands in line for Sunday Brunch at The Griddle until they're 38.

Diane definitely pushes you and if you want to improve your skills as an actor take her. She gives you the tools needed to tap into your talent. She will make sure you're dedicated, so don't disregard or slack off around her. If you're serious, she's for you. I would take her more than once.

She is a great teacher, but she challenges you. At first I was annoyed at her harsh grading, but it has made me a better actor. Take her class. She loves Chekhov.
