A Tip from Acting Teacher Roy London

If you’ve worked with me or read any significant amount of my stuff, you know that a lot of what I coach comes from the acting world. Although he only lived to be 50 years old, Roy London has had a heavy influence on a ton of people. A fine actor himself, over the last fifteen years of his life Mr. London became one of the premier acting teachers in Hollywood, a profound influence on the likes of Sharon Stone, Jeff Goldblum, Hank Azaria, Geena Davis, and Garry Shandling, just to name a few.

One of London’s main tenets is “It’s all about Love. Every choice comes from trying to connect with Love.”

Man, that is spot-on. There is no purer Christian message than that. While some secular radio talents have had success being negative and snarky, in the CCM arena, the personalities that most people hold dear are the ones who are consciously trying to connect on a human level.

Carry this forward. Even if you joke about someone or something, make sure that it’s always coming from a loving place. Listen to your show and ask yourself if this is coming across.

The answer will define your career.
