ABOUT ME

"Your voice is the primary instrument of your artistry, and your creativity is its master” - Kristin Linklater

If we want a voice that is expressive, resonant, and truthful we need to learn how to harness its power and release its full potential.

My aim is to help open your voice so you can gain freedom and range with ease.

Voice and Dialect Coach in Vancouver
Adam Lane Bergquist
Founder and Principal

I have spent over 15 years in the creative arts as a teacher, performer, director, and producer. Mentoring under master Linklater teacher David Smukler I also earned an MFA in Voice Teaching in 2015. Training actors, politicians, managers, case workers and others, I specialize in helping students discover the creative possibilities of their voice using their own learning style.
