Linklater Voice
Welcome to the Kristin Linklater Voice Foundation, the central home of the international community of Designated Linklater Teachers and supporters.
We are a membership association established in 2026 to uphold the legacy of the late Kristin Linklater. Led through the shared values of Community, Integrity and Respect, our purpose is to ensure the ongoing quality of Linklater Voice™ work.
Kristin’s vision was that everyone, whatever their means or background, would realize their potential by freeing their natural voice.
Drawing on the progression of exercises she inherited from her teacher Iris Warren, Kristin developed and refined a methodology through 60 years of active experiential research that has become one of the world's most recognized voice pedagogies in actor training.
We are now over 300 teachers trained by Kristin, known as Designated Linklater Voice teachers - DLTs. We span the globe across 28 countries and collectively continue to train countless actors, performers, speakers and business professionals.
• A progression of exercises designed to free and strengthen the expressive capabilities of the human voice by connecting sound with our primary thought/feeling impulses.
• A precise, practical, and deeply transformative practice that restores the human voice to its natural, genetically unique capacity for power, nuance, and emotional truth.
• A globally recognized voice training methodology.
• Constantly being refined through experiential research across the world.
