Reviews of professor Paul Urcioli

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
If there's one prof you take a class with at SC, PAUL IS THE MAN! Whether it be screen or stage acting, he knows what he is talking about and you'll never have more fun in class and doing the work. He's one of those professors where you want to put 110% effort in because the last thing you want to do is disappoint him after he does so much for you

Paul is my favorite acting professor ive had. Working professional, truly wants his students to succeed, decades of teaching experience with tons of notable alumni. If you want an irreplaceable mentor, put in the work and reach out after class  he will not disappoint !

Absolute favorite acting teacher at USC! Really insightful about scene work, he wants to see you improve and cares about his students. Doesn't tolerate lateness ever but other than that very easy going and is very candid. If you get the change, 100% take his class. The work is on you, he'll know by your performance if you prepared and cared.

PAUL IS THE MAN. Cares about his students deeply and it shows. Most classes consist of working through scenes, and Paul offers insight that's often so specific to the actor. Super knowledgeable - shares personal stories about the industry. Very funny, amazing mentor, wonderful guy. You will be in good hands!

Paul is my FAV professor at USC. Take THTR122 if you're looking for a fun 2unit class with any major. Just make sure to show up to every class and actively participate--he just wants you to give it your best shot. Get to know him outside of class if you can because he's extremely interesting. Also ask him about TV shows he's been on for fun stories

The BEST acting professor Ive had at USC, for both on camera and theater. Knows his stuff, but doesnt flaunt it in your face in an egotistical way. Will PUSH you, expect hours of rehearsal. Wont yell at you or belittle you if you dont, he can just tell. Never belittled or makes an example of anyone. Will come on his off days to help you.
