Lester Shane made his stage debut as "the littlest Pepper of them all" in a Cleveland production of "The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew," and he's been acting ever since. He has also directed and coached voice independently and at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, the New York Foundation for the Arts, and New York's New Actors Workshop. Besides that, he's written a one-man show, "Mortal Coil," based on his many years' experience as a hospice volunteer.But Shane's multiple occupations sometimes overlap. He can be directing and notice that an actor could use vocal coaching, or a coaching client may require directorial advice on shaping a role or preparing an audition. When he's directing, he says, "because of my sensitivity, I can often pick up on something that is perhaps just technical and can often be fixed." So how does he stay inside the boundaries of his role?...
