About

Why Should Larry Singer be considered one of the best coaches and acting teachers of his generation?

He has the track record to demonstrate his value. Every place he has taught, he has been invited to continue.

I love actors. Coaching and teaching actors is my life’s work; my mission. My way to be joyfully creative.

I started coaching and teaching actors almost by accident when some of my classmates saw my passion and asked me to help them. That was nearly 40 years ago and I haven’t looked back.

My approach to coaching and teaching: Respect all the artists involved..

I am AVAILABLE to help you get work and grow as an actor.

Acting is how much of yourself you can bring to the work.
