Comment:

She is an old fool that thinks she knows everything there is to acting. So dramatic, the way she reacts to someone being 5 minutes late or messing up a line is just extra. She doesn't realize this is a community college class... it's community college, not that big of a deal.

Comment:

The best acting teacher I've worked w/ in college. Fair & professional. She will take you seriously if you prove that you're willing to learn (even non-theatre majors). Don't walk into class late, she HATES that. DON'T forget to bring materials when she asks. MEMORIZE those lines or else... hint: it makes scene work easier. *Highly recommended*

I think she is an amazing teacher.I took her class twice and I feel that I've learned alot from her and more.She's very hands on with the love of her craft and knows how to invoke your emotions.I'm working on becoming a professional voice actress one day, I feel that all of her advices and crits she's given me really made me understand this field.

Comment:

She completely messed up my grade and gave me a lower grade than i should have gotten. I added up everything I was graded on and it did not add up the way she did it not even close and i cant even get ahold of her now. I also didnt agree with a lot of what she said, such as playing intentions as opposed to saying the line a certain way

Amazing teacher! I absolutely loved her class. If you enjoy acting, you should really take this class because she opens you up to a whole new world. She is very easy to talk to and always willing to help. She is very passionate about acting and takes it seriously. Very inspiring when she speaks. One of my favorite teachers ever.

Very cool lady. She has a hard surface-- but I really got along with her and learned a lot about acting. She knows what she is doing....and I met my future wife int he class!! I'm a pretty big guy's guy video game type and I became very interested in acting after this....her tests are hard as hell but the class is worth the struggle.

She has so much poise and has tought me a lot about relaxing my body and using it as a tool. I think she's a great teacher for anyone who really appreciates the theatre.

Comment:

Anyone who does not have experiance acting should not take her class. This was my first theater class ever and almost became my last. She expects you to already know how to project your voice and how to fall into the characters, I was not able to learn this until I took classes later with another teacher.

Comment:

She is not a bad teacher but she is not a very fair grader. I do respect that she approaches acting as an art and does not lower standards and demands just because it is a community college course. Yet she has to understand that not all people who take the class want to persue acting and the grading should not be as tough as in real acting schools

Even though i heard she was mean, i found Dee Marie to be rather approachable. I asked for help and she gave me some one on one time to help my performance. She was nice and the best thing about her is she is not judgemental. She never says "good or b

She was really helpful. I had a lateness problem but she would look the other way. I had fun in this class. I have had 2 courses with her and both were fun. Her clases bond like a family and that makes it easier to perform.

This teacher is one of the best acting professors the campus has. The will not cheapen the level of professionalism just because it is a community college. If you are willing to work hard and treat acting like the art it is then you will be fine. Anyone wh

Dee Marie is actually a really amazing teacher. All you cowards who are afraid to work hard for the art of theatre are just kids. Theatre is an art and should be treated as such. All the idiots here are just butt hurt that they have no skills or talent. If you ask for help she is there for you. Show up on time, do your work and you will be fine.

She is the worst teacher I ever had. She is a actress who never made it and shows her bitterness. She doesn't grade fairly and has her favorite students. I got an A in her class but the A was not worth dealing with her.Everyone disliked her. Avoid her!!!
