Robin and Kate are both passionate about the need for actors to work on their voices. They teach their students that it is an integral part of being free as an actor. Robin states, “Free breath allows for free thought.”
Kate believes working on her voice has made her a better actor because, “…it makes me more present, makes me more able to receive and be affected by my partner, and makes me more malleable.”
Robin Christian-McNair teaches voice full time at UNCSA's School of Drama. Before coming to the school she taught at the Actors Studio, Rutgers, Syracuse, and Purchase College Conservatory. In her teaching, Robin focuses on freedom of breath, body and self expression.
Kate Udall is a visiting professor at UNCSA's school of Drama where she is teaching voice. She has worked in many regional theatre productions around the country and performed in several off Broadway shows. On screen she has appeared in Blue Bloods, Law & Order, and had a recurring role on Daredevil.
Both have studied voice under Kristin Linklater who states, "If you’re holding your breath in any way, part of you is absent."
