We Love Soaps recently participated in a Question & Answer session with Josie Loren, who plays Kaylie on the teen soap MAKE IT OR BREAK IT. MAKE IT OR BREAK IT returns on January 4 at 9 p.m. ET on ABC Family.Roger Newcomb (We Love Soaps): How would you describe your acting style? When you’re acting, are you thinking about your own experiences or how does that work for you?
Josie Loren: It’s kind of complicated. I had a really great acting teacher who taught me a lot of different things. It just depends on the scene. Usually if I have a really emotional scene, which Kaylie loves to cry, it just depends. If I can plug into it immediately, just because we have such good writers and they write so well, sometimes it’s just very easy to tap into what they write. But other times it’s not.
I use what my acting teacher calls a 50/50. So I’ll plug in people that I know in my life, people that I love, maybe a family member or a best friend, I’ll plug them into this situation instead of, let’s say, Payson or Lauren. I’ll plug in somebody else to that situation and it makes it a lot easier for me to get emotional about that.
