I've taken six classes with Ron, including directing, and he's my favorite professor I've ever had. He's taught me so much about acting with awesome opportunities. I will cherish my time in his classes forever. Truly inspiring guy that won't let you ever slack off. Only take Ron's classes if you're serious about acting, and he'll change your life!

Comment:

Great and wise teacher overall. He's very knowledgeable in acting and knows how to give good feedback. great warm ups and games in the beginning of class to help loosen us up. no textbook was required. Important to pick a good partner bc your grade will be affected if they do bad in a scene. I got a B bc my final scene partner didn't care.

Comment:

English is not my 1st language and I still took "Acting Shakespeare". Hard as hell, but loved every second; Ron Scarlata got the best of me. BY FAR THE BEST teacher I've ever had. Left CA in 2000, I visited on 2014. Went to pay my respects to Ron and guess what? He still remembered my FIRST name. Took several classes with Ron, AWESOME. A must have!

If you are interested in Theater because it is your major, minor, or just want to take it for fun, you will NOT regret taking it with Scarlata. He is so hands on with his students and is there every step of the way. Listen to everything he says! It will be useful for the Final! Also, don't be tardy or absent a lot. You will be hurting your grade.

350 words cannot describe Mr. Scarlata. He is by far the best teacher in the Theatre department. I have taken all his classes and I absolutely respect him. He is passionate and extremely serious about his craft. His class are not easy but all the work you do in his class help you improve as an actor. Don't take this class if your not serious.

Scarlata is much greater than 350 words can explain. He is VERY serious about his craft and makes sure you are too. He takes your acting to a whole other level. All the exercises really help you FOCUS. Your acting becomes so natural and believeable, you feel you're not even acting! It's amazing how much you grow as an actor. <3 his class! MUST TAKE

If acting is what you want to do, take his classes. I took it as a requirement and I still loved going to class. He's strict about attendance and tardiness, so be there and be on time and ready to work.

Comment:

I took Scarlata for 14a, b and improve and put so much effort into his classes and didn't get a fair grade at all. He knows what he is doing but too strict on everything. If you get into a****ty situation with your partner he will give you another one and extend the time when the project is due. I say see for yourself...

THERE ARE TEACHERS THAT PROJECT THAT "MY WAY OR NO WAY" ATTITUDE, AND BECAUSE THEYRE THE TEACHER YOULL NEVER REACH THEIR LEVEL OF ACTING "CHI". THEN I HEARD ABOUT SCARLATA. HE WAS THE ONE TO HELP ME BELIEVE THAT IM NOT CHASING FALSE DREAMS. I AM IN THE RIGHT BUSINESS FOR A REASON. BECAUSE OF HIM, I KNOW THAT IM AN GREAT ACTOR. 4YRS AFTER -HANSON

Ron is great! He is very committed to his students. You will have to be committed as well. He is very helpful and easy to talk to when you have a problem. He likes dedicated students and expects you to work hard but in his classes its hard not to want to work hard!

Comment:

Fun class, but be warned, if you are hoping to do any comedy in this class, turn back now. While it is a fun class and you laugh with your friends, almost every scene you do is serious. If you want to grow as an actor, take the class, but if you perfer comedic acting, take something else.

Ron Scarlata is the best theatre teacheer that I ever had. If you join that class then you have to be serious and committed or he'll drop you cuz he don't take no mess. But he is really dedicated and always has time to help each student with their individual problem. he is one of those teacher who loves his job and shows it.
