Linklater Voice Workshop
Since 2016, Weiwuying launched “Actors' Training Project”, which provides different training programs for actors, to help polish their crafts, and further develop their professional career. In 2016, we invited the founder of Linklater Voice Training technique – KRISTIN LINKLATER, to lead the first Linklater Voice workshop in Taiwan; in 2017, we invited the designated Linklater Voice teacher – Haerry Kim, to host a 7-days workshop to ensure a consistent and complete training system of KLV (Kristin Linklater Voice). The workshops were well received with positive feedbacks. The participants showed tremendous interest in carrying on with KLV training. Hence, we'd like to continue the training, offering two workshops with various levels: (1) Linklater Voice Workshop – Entry Class and (2) Linklater Voice Workshop – Masterclass.
