Linklater Voice takes you through a series of step-by-step practical exercises that include relaxation, awareness of breathing, the experience of voice vibrating in the body, how to open the throat, the development of resonance and range, and the articulating activity of lips and tongue. As you awaken your voice consciousness you will discover the expressive potential of the human voice and release your own eloquence.

Kristin Linklater was a world-renowned teacher of voice production who pursued a highly successful academic and theatrical career in the United States and Europe for the past fifty years.

She was one of the most recognised names in the field of voice production for actors having published two leading textbooks: Freeing the Natural Voice: Imagery and Art in the Practice of Voice and Language (1976; revised edition 2006) Freeing Shakespeare’s Voice: The Actor’s Guide to Talking the Text (1992).

These books have sold over 200,000 copies and are leading textbooks in the field. Freeing the Natural Voice has been translated into German, Russian, Italian, Korean, Spanish and Polish, with Finnish, French and Mandarin translations pending.

Kristin Linklater’s teacher-training process is lengthy and rigorous. Those who are finally designated as Linklater teachers have undergone between three and five years of personal training; including fulfilling the Pathway to Designation prerequisites; observing classes taught by Linklater Master Teachers and participated in an intensive ‘how to teach’ program taught by Linklater herself. This is a six-week, two-part program that spans two years.

Nelya Galiakbarova is one of three Designated Linklater Teachers in WA and offers classes and workshops to actors, singers, businessmen and anyone who wants to master their voice.
