About
the Book:
The Warner Loughlin Technique: An
Acting Revolution provides a solid foundation in the
revolutionary acting technique taught by acclaimed acting teacher
Warner Loughlin at her Los Angeles based acting studio. In
this "workshop
in a book" you will discover
the technique used to help create some of the most remarkable
performances of our time from actors such as Amy Adams, Ryan
Reynolds, Kyra Sedgwick and countless other Oscar, Emmy, Golden
Globe, Tony and Grammy nominees and winners.
Not a copy of the old masters, The
Warner Loughlin Technique is geared at stripping away old school
methods that simply encourage you to try and pull emotions from your
past experience and replaces it with a depth and range that the
characters could have based on their own, imagined life. Warner
Loughlin debunks the myth of the tortured actor and guides you
step by step through her groundbreaking technique revealing powerful
ways to unlock your creativity in a psychologically safe way (as
opposed to older acting methods meant for the stage that can lead to
burnout and pronounced emotional trauma). Her insight into life and
art is remarkable. Her technique helps you find the human-based
emotion of a character and allows for you to remain natural to the
role versus having to constantly re-create past traumas to conjure
emotional range and changes the way acting will be taught for
generations to come.
What people say:
"I
was able to find my voice, and to find tears and to find levels,
because I was able to have a safe place to go, that I could come back
from. With your technique, in character prep, when I visit a
character's life, her past and create an event good or tragic –
that belongs to her. I don't take ownership of that pain with me. I
don't take it on as my own... So this allows me not to be scared to
go there, which allows me freedom as an actress to do anything,
because I don't own it. It belongs to my character."
— Amy Adams
"Working
with Warner was a revelation. I doubted that I could ever work
without "observing" and judging every moment. I will be
forever grateful [to Warner] for helping me get back to the joy of
living in the spontaneous truth of every scene."
— Kyra
Sedgwick
"I've
been working with Warner
Loughlin
for years. Not only has she helped me become a better actor, but
she's also helped me truly enjoy this work in ways I never imagined."
— Ryan
Reynolds
"Before I started working with
Warner on the technique, I felt like acting was just something that I
could some days do, and some days not do. It was only through doing
deep emotion with detail on each of the characters I got, that I
could act everyday how I wanted to, because I ended up knowing the
character inside and out. The thoughts are no longer my own, but the
characters', so I don't have to work as hard during the scenes. Now
being on set and being the character is fun and never feels pushed. I
love the technique and it has helped me immensely." —
Sosie Bacon
"I met Warner over 10 years
ago. She has coached me through comedy, drama, and even life! She has
not only given me tools to be better at my job, but tools to be 100%
confident through the process." — Emma Roberts
"Warner's Technique has become
part of my creative process... It's simply the most intuitive way for
me to find a character's base human emotion. Warner worked with us on
Disney's Frozen for many months and helped us create truthful
characters... I've never felt so comfortable animating a character
before and I think the sophistication in the performance in the film
speaks for itself." — Lino DiSalvo,
Head of Animation for Disney's Frozen
