Robin Christian-McNair

Experienced acting instructor Robin Christian-McNair knows that the stories being told, casting, characters are all becoming more diverse in modern theater, television and film. Her teaching embraces diversity, acknowledges the students' accent and background and then begins to expand the flexibility of their accent. All the while, she stresses the importance of allowing freedom of breath, body and self expression.

My interest lies in training actors in intelligible eloquence. Actors that speak from their heart and honor their cultural heritage and the cultural heritage of their play and character.
