Stella Adler Acting Method

"This unit was a perfect one! It's a great introduction to Stella Adler with a little history and a lot of hands-on fun in her style. I'm so happy to find Dramamomma Speaks! Thanks for such a great unit; you saved me hours of research! I teach a mixed course of Sophomore, Junior, and Senior level students and this allowed each to access the information at their level. :

"Such a great unit of work and perfect for what I was looking for help with. I ended up coming back and getting the whole Bundle too as the set design stuff looked like a great companion to this sound design program. Students really enjoyed the quality content - so did I - THANKS."
