Introduction to Estill Voice Training
Practical solutions for singing, speaking and teaching
Come and see what your voice can do! This interactive, playful workshop covers all the big ideas of the Estill Model and offers lots of inspiration and practical solutions for your own singing, speaking and teaching.
We will explore the 13 figures for voice and also the 6 voice qualities: Speech, Falsetto, Sob, Twang, Opera and Belt.
It's a safe space for exploration with opportunities for individual coaching throughout the session (but there's no pressure to participate!). At the end there will be a chance to ask questions.
Estill Voice Training offers speakers and singers solutions to realise their full vocal potential (e.g. overcoming breaks in the voice, controlling dynamics and vibrato, increasing range, belting safely and more). It’s a scientific approach with emphasis on training structures of the voice in isolation for maximum artistic freedom.

About Estill Voice Training
Estill Voice Training (EVT) is a scientific, evidence-based system for vocal development. It is a life-changing approach that can help you become a stronger and more emotional performer by giving you effective tools to improve your craft. With EVT, simple everyday sounds are used to identify structures in the larynx and in the vocal tract (i.e. throat, mouth and nose). These are then trained in detail to give conscious, predictable and reliable control of your voice.
