(Xander, B&B)
“My long-term acting coach, Michaeljohn, always gives this speech to new people in class and it’s always about preparation. He tells the story about people not coming to class prepared because they don’t think it’s going to happen for them anytime soon, and the tagline is, ‘Always be prepared; it just might happen tomorrow.’ That rang true with me when I was in class because when he said that, I got my audition for BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL the very next day. So, always stay sharp and always stay on it.”

Kyle Lowder (Rex, DAYS)
“I’ve had the privilege of studying with Larry Moss for a period of time, who is one of the greatest modern day acting coaches ever in my opinion. The advice was basically to stop performing and start living. I’ll never forget that.”

Morrow
(Nick, Y&R)
“At the risk of sounding crass, it came from Jeanne Cooper [ex-Katherine], who saw me in the hallway one day, looking less than my best after a long night before. It obviously showed in my acting because she said, ‘Kid, don’t f**k this up!’ ”

“ ‘You can only do one thing at a time fully.’ Meaning: Start with the first idea of a scene and go from there to the next and so on. Do not worry about the end, it’ll come soon enough. One thing at a time.”

Suzanne Rogers (Maggie, DAYS)
“It was just from John Clarke [ex-Mickey]. He said, ‘You’re always going to be nervous.’ And it’s true. But I use that because the nerves are what make you present. And the audience out there doesn’t know what you’re going through.”

Robert Scott Wilson
(Ben, DAYS)
“My [former] acting coach, Tony Savant, told me, ‘If you can just be the best listener, everything will be a lot more authentic.’ I think that becoming a good listener and a good observer, that’s where all the gold lies.”

William deVry (Julian, GH)
“ ‘Always commit to your choice. Even if it’s wrong.’ Most people won’t commit to a choice because they are too worried about what they think the director wants. Believe it or not, I have been hired many times in my career by making a ‘wrong’ choice. It allows me to be unencumbered going into a room, not having to figure out what I ‘should’ do, but what I ‘will’ do.”
