Jeremy London
The “Triple Threat” performer is fascinating to work with – the actor singer dancer who is able to perform to a high degree in all three disciplines. But even these versatile and talented performers usually prefer one aspect of their talent – one they feel comes naturally to them. And that’s what I look for!
I like to find out what my clients do that is so easy they don’t even think about it, and help them transfer those innate skills into their other work areas. In the case of the triple threat, there is usually one mode of communication that is deeper, more unconscious than the others. So I will switch my coaching language to fit that mode.
Say your first language is dance – I might choose to describe my technical instructions in terms of movement, physical energy or the use of muscles. Supposing your easiest mode is acting. You might understand my vocal technique suggestions if you heard them couched in terms of characterisation, emotions, descriptive keywords or plot devices. And if singing is your first, most fundamental language, I might choose to describe technical singing or acting instructions as phrase shapes, color or rhythm.
When you realise which is your own main language, it becomes easier to understand what other people mean, what they actually want from you. The ability to translate a director’s instructions into your own “language” can help you to understand the instructions on a deep level. And that will produce a much more authentic performance. You’re happy because you successfully understood the director’s instructions, and the director’s happy because you did what he asked you to do, and you knew what he was talking about. And if the director thinks you understand him and where he’s coming from (and assuming you can actually do what he wants), he’s much more likely to hire you.
There is a danger with the triple threat performer that they can become overloaded with classes or instructions, simply because all three disciplines require focus, practice and attention. Once you know what your main strength is, not only will you ease up on yourself in that area, you’ll be able to apply the skills and strengths of that area in the other, more challenging areas. My early training was exclusively as a musician, and music is my first language. But I’ve been able to transfer my musical disciplines and skills into understanding and working with actors and dancers, and I now work with a wide variety of theatre performers and recording artists.
It’s human nature to dismiss something that we’re REALLY good at, precisely BECAUSE we’re naturally good at it. It’s when you see other people unable to do something that you can do, and it really puzzles you. “But that’s so easy” you might say. “Anyone could do that”. But anyone can’t – you have a special resonance that makes that thing feel incredibly easy to do. The more you do that is second nature to you, the more you “resonate” with your own talents, gifts and physicality. And when you “resonate” well, people are naturally attracted to you. How cool is that?
When you realise that people really want you to do the thing you do best, and that you will get paid for it, life can be a lot more fun. My belief is that we are here to do what we do well. And applying what we do well to other areas of our life can make the difference between a hard life and a happy life.
So what’s your main strength?

Winning London $5.25 Why is it that, in such a cynical age, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen aren’t more wary of a backlash against adorableness? Just when pop culture’s more cantankerous hounds were harboring hopes that the preeminent pair of sugar-and-spice girls would grow into a couple of gawky teenagers, they’ve proved themselves more lovable than ever with Winning London. Here, they’re tasked with delivering semimatur… |

Either way, the unpretentious text by Keith Anderson offers an introduction to the lives and works of dozens of composers, together with recommended recordings from the Naxos and Marco Polo catalogs. Anderson includes a useful 59-page glossary of musical terms and an extensive listing of cla… |

Mallrats [VHS] $2.26 Sophomore jinx hit hard in this second film by Kevin Smith, whose debut Clerks transcended the limits of its setting and budget to become something memorably funny. (Smith followed Mallrats with the wonderful Chasing Amy, so Mallrats definitely had the old curse.) A ramshackle comedy set in a mall, the film follows several story lines involving lovers, enemies, friends, goofballs, and Smith’s own … |

Rick (Jason London from Dazed and Confused), who hopes to run Bull Mountain, can’t forget about Anna, the French girl he romanced while vacationing in Mexico. When a ruthless developer (Lee Majors, star of T… |

The Wedding Date’s Pretty Woman-in-reverse plot finds Kat Kat Ellis (Messing) hiring expensive male escort Nick Mercer (Mulrone… |
