The Warner Loughlin Technique Intensive

This introductory 4-week workshop is a quick and effective way to learn the basics of The Warner Loughlin Technique, the core technique used in the Scene Study classes. It typically begins the first Wednesday of every month and is a requirement before joining on-going scene study classes.

Week 1: Script Analysis
Week 2: Character Development/"Emotion with Detail"
Week 3: Scene work
Week 4: Scene work and Scene Study Placement

Scene Study Classes

Scene Study classes are on-going, meet weekly, and are available for all levels of experience. As the Studio is designed to serve the needs of working actors, the main focus of these classes is a practical application of The Warner Loughlin Technique as it applies to working on-set. Unlike most studios, every student works every week. In addition to scene study, teachers often use both comedic and dramatic improv to hone skills and deepen the connection to and understanding of characters and relationships. Scene study classes are taught by staff instructors on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.

Master Class

The Master Class is for students who have mastered The Warner Loughlin Technique and successfully incorporated it into their professional lives. The core curriculum is the same as the Scene Study classes. However, the design of this special class invites working actors to stretch their skills and to experiment with characters that they would not normally be cast as in the working world. Admission to this class is by invitation from Warner.

2008 Summer Workshops

This summer, the Studio will offer a variety of different programs to enhance our members' careers. They include:

Commercial Audition Technique

An average national network spot can yield up to $30,000, and that’s for one day of work! Why shouldn’t that money be going to you?! In this one-day workshop, you will learn how to step up your game and be a real contender in this market. Auditioning for commercials is different from anything else in the industry, and understanding the specific skills needed to tell a story in less than 30 seconds is crucial. Through a number of on-camera auditions and exercises, you will have all the information you need to get “booking”!

The Business of the Business

We hear all the time that success is not just about craft - “It’s a business!” But what exactly does that mean? And how can we change the way we run our actor-business to lead to better results and happier lives? This one-day workshop will answer those questions and more. Learn how to see yourself the way the industry sees you and refine the skills you need to play at the top levels of our profession. If you are new to acting, this intensive is a MUST! If you’re a working actor but feel as though the Business is running you, rather than you running your business – this workshop is a great way to reinforce your foundation. By the end of the day, you will have a clear, step-by-step game plan that will help you take control!

Audition Intensive

If you feel confident in your craft while working on set, in theater, or in class, but wonder why you are having trouble booking jobs, the answer may be simple: Auditioning is different than acting! Luckily, this workshop offers a host of fresh and simple ideas to help you demystify and de-stress the auditioning/casting process. We will work on on-camera auditions, covering everything from co-stars to series regular testing, as well as perfecting your interview skills. Afterwards, you will be able to walk in and out of audition rooms with the confidence that you delivered your best, and the mental freedom to let it go… and start working on the next one!
