Scene Study Classes: Ongoing Enrollment.
Call 917.327.5406 or email LarrySinger@nyct.net today for an interview.
When do classes meet? We ask that you meet Larry for an interview that takes about half an hour. The purpose of the interview is for both you and Larry to discern if this is the right class for you. Larry will explain elements of the class to you and learn as much as he can about you as actor and person. Our hope is that you will ask many questions to help you decide if Larry is the right teacher for you and if the class is the right environment for you to achieve your goals. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ "Since practically the beginning of my career, I have coached and studied with Larry Singer because he focuses on the work and helps you along your personal path in being a performing artist. Larry has taught me invaluable technique and tools while giving me opportunity to challenge myself to continually become a better actor." "Working one on one with Larry allowed me to get so deep into the character. Most of all I learned to breathe, and compose myself to dealing with pressure shoots. Every little nuance means so much in a script and Larry makes you realize that. His attention to detail brought out the best in me. In a few sessions I made my character a thousand times stronger through pacing and rhythm. Every time I have a new character, I go straight to Larry to make it amazing.” -----a letter from a student.... I wanted to share the following review that came out this morning, via Bohemian Press (note: I have reprised this show (same role, same company) since 2003): "While some of the actors in this production have changed, others have been with this play through several of its incarnations, notably Carolyn Driscoll and Megan Lavner, both of whom were in the filmed version of this, and whose performances have significantly deepened with time. In Megan Lavner's case, it has been a pleasure to watch her grow up during the course of these past few years. In the role of the soldier's teenaged fiancee, she has gone from presenting youth to—ironically, as she matures out of the role—representing youth. The performance has contours which were previously lacking, and the character is revealed to be a tensile young woman of great determination; she no longer asserts. She simply "is", and that represents huge growth in an actor." I'm *guessing* perhaps a certain teacher may have had something to do with the "huge growth" perceived. Thanks for helping me transform my acting, and experience actual results. Always, Megan "What I feel when I work with Larry is that I am truly being seen. That in each sensitive moment of discovering a character he is able somehow to see what is and what could be. He can appreciate the strength I bring to what I'm doing while intelligently guiding me to places that I would not have found on my own. Having seen him do this in a classroom setting I am consistently amazed at how individual and how generous his approach is with each student. Larry's work is the kind of raw and abiding material that comes back to me during what feels like an impossible rehearsal or a moment when a scene totally mystifies me. I can use it. It is palpable, living, generative stuff." “Larry Singer has incredible passion for acting which equips him with this uncanny insight into human behavior. He helped me breakthrough emotional and artistic blocks and gave me the tools to handle any challenge I may find in my acting. He guided me in making strong choices and never let me get away with anything untruthful. A provocative, challenging teacher who not only inspired and motivated me but who also made me feel safe enough to fall on my face and was there to pick me back up, so I could try again.” "Every time someone asks me about my training I immediately mention my years of study with Larry. His approach to the craft of acting is unique and unparalleled in my experience and while he is a caring and nurturing teacher, he also doesn’t pull his punches. Well neither does this business. If you’re serious about being an actor, I highly recommend Larry’s classes." “Larry was a very pivotal part of my acting career because he gave me direction and scope as well as the motivation and positive thinking that is needed to actively pursue a career as an actor. Through his work and coaching in Scene Study Class I learned some valuable lessons about myself as an actor as well as what are the most important things to concentrate on while acting. Larry is excellent in conveying his message to his students and helping them understand how they can use their in-class experiences in their career; be it on stage, screen, or even at auditions.” “I had the pleasure to work with Larry at my first ever acting conservatory in NYC. He is a teacher who thinks outside the box and allows your creativity to shine. He organically works in a way that the choices you make are of your own intuition yet the results are what is needed for the particular scene/performance. I highly recommend his class!”
