Abstract
This chapter is a transcript, along with author commentary, of an interview with Rodney Cottier, who heads the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA). In the interview, Cottier discusses how LAMDA’s small classes and physical approach benefit introverted actors. Other aspects of the training program, such as the personal creation of creative content, delayed professional showcases, and professional mentorship, are pedagogical concepts that further support introverted actors. Cottier offers examples and approaches to more easily enable introverted actors to play extroverted ones, and vice versa, through a probing series of questions.
