  • "Acting is a gorgeous profession, if you give it it's due" Larry Moss.
    Larry Moss is one of the most renowned acting coaches alive today. In our interview we ask Larry what actors can do everyday to work on their craft.
    If you're feeling like you don't know what to do as an actor, learn 4 monologues every 3 months. A simple, tangible acting goal from Larry Moss himself.
    This interview was shot at the 16th Street Actor's Studio work shop in Sydney, Australia.

      ​@@luisedmd8890 ever consedered that you might have adhd?
      Not to say that someone without it wont procrastinate .
      Maybe you havent found the right books
      I know it was like that for me
      I needed to get used to liking books first , so i listened to audiobooks for a whille and then one time, the book i was listening to which was Dune 2, was missing half of the chapters, and i was so intl the book that i started reading it
      And this is after having only 1 book that i read that i actually wanted to read, the ones at school i read, but only cuz i had to
      So i recomend ya audiobooks, but on youtube whare you mjght not find some chapters, so if youre invested enough in the book, youll read that
      Desides, better 1 audiobook, than no audiobook and no reading, right?
      I mean, its not the same, but the same info is there. You can actively imagine what the nerrator is talking about too,as you listen.
      Have a good day

    1. vocal warmup
    2. minimum of 4 monologues every 3 months, 2 contemporary 2 classical, one at a time.; one comedy one drama; swap w partner.
    Who i am what i want the obstacle, what do i do to get it. Spontaneity is not possible. Physicality and character too.
    Study the plays, the character. do the monologues diff ways daily.

    Love this guy. Studied with him for years in the 80's (and a bit in the early 90's) and he knows. He is a living link to the original, great "modern" acting teachers of the 20th century, carrying on their traditions. Just got his book and it's marvelous. Highly recommend!
