After watching the Broadway production of Long Day's Journey Into Night in 2016 and then the LA production on BroadwayHD, I've been thinking about how the actors who play Edmund manage to convincingly cough on stage. Does anyone happen to know how actors learn this technique? Is it as difficult/painful as it seems? Just curious.
