"A profound and long-established body of work that teaches a way to inhibit negative physical habits and allow positive habits to restore the body to its true relationship with its internal and external energies. This work employs a psycho-physical vocabulary that meshes well with the Linklater work."
Feldenkrais work

"This work also uses the vocabulary of releasing the mind-body from strictures of limitation that may have come from physical or psychological traumae or merely from a certain inhibitory upringing. Many students have found a useful connection between Feldenkrais work and Linklater work."
Roy Hart
"Roy Hart's exploration of the extended potential of the human voice has opened the field up to exciting vistas. There are practitioners who stay close to the original Roy Hart mission and there are those who have created their own invaluable practice. I recommend particularly Richard Armstrong in New York and Enrique Pardo (see the link to Pantheatre.)"
Pantheatre
"Enrique Pardo has created a richly experimental entity of theatre and mythological research that offers ongoing workshops in Paris and annual gatherings that mix body, voice, myth and story-telling in ways that shatter boundaries of perception and delight both sense and sensuality."
"I have had some of the most rewarding voice experiences of my life at the Giving Voice festivals. Joan Mills creates these weeklong deep voice immersions and in my time there - apart from teaching a wide variety of voice workshops - I have heard the Korean Pansori Opera, the Georgian harmonics, the Corsican group A Filetta, the Bulgarian Grannies of Bistretsa and have done workshops with Frankie Armstrong, Venice Manley and Helen Chadwick. The workshops happen every two years and have covered The Geography of Voice, The Archaeology of Voice, The Divinity of Voice and The Politics of Voice. Where will they go from here?"
Shakespeare & Company

They mount a summer season focused on Shakespeare and hosting the work of many other playwrights, there is an exemplary education program that brings Shakespeare to schools throughout New England year-round and there are numerous training workshops. Linklater Voice is at the heart of the training offered.

Kristin Linklater is Professor of Theatre Arts at Columbia University in the Graduate Theatre Division of the School of the Arts. She teaches Voice, Text and Shakespeare in a 3-year professional training program.
The Larry Singer Studios
It's hard for an actor to find a reliable path amidst the crowd of acting teachers and studios in New York. My number one recommendation is always Larry Singer. He has a real passion for the art of acting; he has a laser intuition that cuts through blocks and inhibitions and limitations of habit to uncover the actor's creative source; his methods are eclectic and personal; he cares deeply about each individual; he is emotionally open and knows how to release emotional authenticity in his students; he works minutely on the details of a scene, and he stays with an actor until something cracks open. With all of this, Larry's presence in a studio is encouraging, demanding and enthusiastic, and (importantly) he has a great sense of humor. Every time I sit in on his classes I see huge changes happening in the deep tectonic layers of an actor's craft.
