Testimonials
|
“Warner's technique is not a complex, pretentious procedure that makes young people feel as if they're not capable of building a character because they lack "life experience." Not only does she make her technique accessible to any person, regardless of age, but she wholeheartedly welcomes any and all new actors into the studio without the slightest bit of judgement. From the moment I entered her studio, I could feel her effusive energy radiating throughout the rooms, and never once did I feel intimidated or afraid of being shut down, with her, or with any of the instructors. Warner, her technique, and the comfort of the studio have enabled me to act without limits, and for that I cannot thank her enough. Warner Loughlin is truly a remarkable human being. She makes for a purely loving, supportive environment where actors can feel comfortable expressing themselves. She has helped me grow so profoundly as an actor, and inspires me as a human being every time I see her.”

Classes
KIDS' PROGRAM
Ages 8-10
Our Kids' Program is designed to get students excited about acting while building confidence in their uniqueness. This program uses improv and imagination-based games to help them explore the world of the characters they're playing. This enables our kids to bring the playfulness of the classroom into the audition room and on set. Our youngest actors will begin to break down scenes on their own so they can be self sufficient in preparing for auditions. Our Kids' Program helps students begin to develop a craft that will serve them throughout their entire lives while learning in a fun and safe atmosphere.
Class is limited to 10 students.
Saturdays, 10-12pm
Winter Session: January 21st - March 10th
Cost: $480 for the eight-week program
For more information, contact Jackie Seiden at jackie@warnerloughlin.com.
YOUNG TEENS' PROGRAM
Ages 10-13
Our Young Teens' Class builds on the skills taught in the Kids' Program while providing a more in depth focus on scene work. Students learn easy and reliable ways to break down scenes through a process that helps them identify the: who, what, where, when, how and why of their characters. We'll focus on one concept each week, allowing our young actors the opportunity to explore through improv games and imagination-based exercises. Then they'll apply these same concepts to their audition sides. Our introduction to the Warner Loughlin Technique will help them transition into our Teen Program with confidence and excitement.
Class is limited to 10 students.
Saturdays, 10am-12pm
Winter Session: January 21st-March 10th
Cost: $480 for the eight-week program

TEEN PROGRAM
Ages 13-16
The Teen Program is designed to give young artists the solid craft they need to stand out and be competitive in the workplace. This Program focuses on partnered scene work in both comedic and dramatic material. In this class, students will build on the foundation developed in our Kids' and Young Teens' Programs to further sharpen their character building skills, as well as their ability to connect emotionally to material through imagination work. Actors will hone their audition skills using current material from film, television and commercials by participating in mock auditions (prepared scenes and cold reads), as well as practicing interview skills for agent or manager meetings and director or producer sessions. There's an enormous market for teen actors. This class gives them a competitive edge.
Class is limited to 10 students.
Saturdays, 12:30-2:30pm.
Winter Session: January 21st-March 10th
Cost: $480 for the eight-week program.

YOUNG ADULT PROGRAM
Ages 16-20
Similarly structured to our Adult Classes, the Young Adult Program focuses on the importance of craft and giving the actors a strong foundation. In this class, students use the Warner Loughlin Technique (the same technique used in our Adult Scene Study Classes) to create multi-dimensional characters and connect emotionally to diverse material. Actors are required to take our Young Adult Intensive to learn the Warner Loughlin Technique prior to joining class. Once in class, actors are given challenging scene work in both drama and comedy, asked to study and breakdown their characters during the week, and then put the scenes into action. Although this is not an on-camera class, we conduct the class as though we are shooting on set to ensure the actors are familiar with the terminology used in film and television. Our mission in this class, as in all of our young actors classes, is to teach actors skills that will help them now and throughout their careers. This is an on-going scene study class, which is both an exercise in discipline and the best way to achieve consistent growth.
Class is limited to 10 students.
Saturdays, 12:30-2:30pm.
Ongoing
Cost: $325 per month.

Workshops
KIDS (AND PARENTS!) AUDITION AND BUSINESS WORKSHOP
Want success and career longevity? Talent is only one component. We've interviewed casting directors, agents and producers and all agree that professionalism and a supportive family will make or break a kid's career. This class covers audition tools, interview skills, headshots and resumes as well as tips for parents to make sure that your every move is in support of your child's success. Each child will be given an audition to prepare in advance of the workshop. During the workshop, Jen will run a mock-casting session giving them an opportunity to assess each child and to address specific needs. Jen will work with the kids on their auditions, and will meet with the parents to discuss headshots, resumes, and general business Q&A, followed by a mock agent/network interview and another audition session.
