CRYSTAL ROBBINS, California, USA

Crystal Robbins is a Los Angeles-based Master Teacher of Bodyvoice . She has been teaching LK bodyvoice at Santa Monica College since 2000 and has specialized in creating short-format workshops for adults and teachers, K-12 programming of Lessac which she calls Kindersensics and coaches privately in theatre/film/tv/voiceover. She has facilitated at Lessac Intensives since 2015. Crystal was Arthur Lessac's assistant for the last 13 years of his life and brings a unique perspective from that time working with the founder of LK. She was a cofounder and director of the Burbank Youth Summer Theatre Institute (BYSTI) which she modeled after the Lessac Summer Intensive, teaching Shakespeare to children 6-16, culminating in a performance of a play each summer for 9 summers. The variety of her personal clientele extends far beyond traditional performers/speakers. She also coaches professors in other subject areas, business people, content creators and recently has also coached Twitch streamers, most recently voice-coaching a live-streamed production of Romeo & Juliet for a highly successful charity event.

“I help folks find the voice and communication experience they desire. By grounding our process in things we know how to do as functioning humans, we access health and wellness in the bodyvoice that is knowable and repeatable by the client on their own.” - Crystal Robbins
