About

Why Should Larry Singer be considered one of the best acting teachers?

He has the track record that demonstrates his value; EVERY place he has taught, he has been invited to continue.

Breathe and live through the circumstances.

– Larry Singer

I love actors. Teaching actors is my life’s work. It is my mission to creatively collaborate with actors as fellow artists.

I started teaching by accident when some acting classmates saw my passion for this work and asked me to help them. That was nearly 30 years ago and I haven’t looked back.

I see what makes people tick and I intuitively know how to draw that out to be infused into their acting work.

My approach is one of compassion and mutual respect.

I am your partner in this growth process to become an artist.

I’ll help you find your magic and slay your giants.
