5.0 out of 5 stars
For beginners to advanced..., January 5, 2003

I have been kicking around the idea of going to acting school for the past several years now. Because the school is somewhat expensive and relatively far away, I was concerned about enrolling considering I've never had the opportunity to explore my acting desires in this rural community. I purchased this video to see if this is a career I would like to, seriously, pursue.After watching this video, it is very clear that Uta Hagen is very experienced and respected in this business. The way she talks to her class of actors is very down-to-earth but also very professional. As a "first-timer", her explainations of what she's looking for is easy to understand and comprehend. You know exactly what she likes, doesn't like, and why. She also tells you what to look out for while you're in character and what to work on when you're not. She has broken acting down into steps and explains each basic one in these two videos. I recommend these videos to all actors of every level. If you are just starting out, like myself, you will learn valuable insight and tips that will forever help you along the way. If you are an experienced actor, the exercises that are outlined will keep you fresh and honest with yourself and your goals. I cannot say enough about how much this video has helped me to understand acting as a true art form. For me, even though the price tag did seem a little stiff before I finally ordered, it has been worth every penny they were asking. I even hope they come out with a 2nd set that will continue to go deeper into this brilliant teacher's mind - And, I would pay that price, too!
