About the course

(Re)Discover Linklater voice technique with this Actor Refresh intensive course, designed for professional actors who would like to deepen and develop their craft.

Kristen Linklater was a voice and speech coach, who trained at LAMDA, and became renowned for her voice methodology. This practical course will cover the basics at a pace suitable for actors with prior acting and voice experience.

You’ll connect with a community of like-minded professional peers, in a focused and supportive environment, and will leave the course with a selection of techniques which you can incorporate into your personal actor’s process.

What will I learn?

During your time on the course, you will:

  1. You’ll explore how to undo habitual tensions in the body.
  2. You’ll explore the voice/body/mind connection.
  3. You’ll explore the concept of uninhibited sound.

Is this course for me?

This course is suitable if you have trained at drama school, or have significant professional acting experience. You don’t need to have studied Linklater previously to take part in the course.

Our expert tutor will adapt to the specific requirements and experience of the cohort, and you can expect to be challenged and supported to ensure that you get the most out of the course.

This is a professional level course, and is designed for participants with significant acting experience.
