Lisa Ann Loggins
Before AIAC
Lisa was referred to me by HWC. Currently living in Detroit, she'd had some acting training but was looking to really get her skills up.
Her acting was "fine", good enough to book here and there but I could see with the right training she had amazing potential. Not only was she super castable with her beauty and maturity but she had versatility. Basically, she could play anything
What her acting lacked was a sense of realness and specificity. So many actors do a "fine" job but really they still look like they are "acting" not being a real person in the scene. This keeps them stuck in a rut with their career. I didn't want that for her and neither did she.
Work Ethic
So she started in on weekly classes plus doing practice sessions outside of class with other AIAC peers. She started grasping the verb work that is the center piece of the Liechty Acting Technique. She learned to lean into the behavior of her character, letting that stir the emotions of the scene so her acting was spontaneous and impulsive - REAL, not manufactured and fake. After she moved up to the Intermediate Level and got to add in personalization's, her work in class became magnificent.
And that's when Lisa started to bloom. What happened to her next was what happens to real working actors - she got busy! She was inundated by auditions. So much so she could barely keep up. She had snagged the attention of a wonderful Hollywood agent who'd snapped her up AND had added a great manager to her team as well.
Booking
She was booking! One of her first roles was a psychiatrist in a film which she got by submitting one of the monologues we'd taped in class. Recently she snagged a supporting role in a feature film, booked a national KFC commercial and got the lead in the thriller Overkill in which she plays a detective.
