Mentors on the Mic: Your guide to pursuing a career in the Entertainment industry

Becoming... Legendary Acting Coach Bob Krakower


Listen Later

"I don’t think an actors private life is entertainment for other people. So I never ask anybody any personal questions of any kind."

BOB KRAKOWER is recognized as one of the top acting teachers and coaches in the business. His clients have been nominated for the Academy, Emmy, and Tony Awards. He is currently creating inaugural on-camera acting programs at UNCSA and Juilliard. He has been on guest faculties at Yale, Harvard, & NYU. Sought after by studios, networks, producers, and actors, he works from his home base in New York, while maintaining a schedule of coaching on set for film and television around the country.

In this episode, we talk about:
• Having two offers on the same day: he could be a franchised agent or interview to teach at the Actors Theater in Louisville

• Worked in casting with Alexa Fogel and almost got booted off casting NYPD Blue

• Tips for actors on how to approach a scene

• How he got reruns of My So Called Life on MTV after it was cancelled

• Tips for actors that they can do right now to become a better actor

• Why he chooses not to delve into the personal life of actors when coaching them and what he does instead
