Estill Movie Night
Advanced Workshop in Visible Anatomy
Understanding how to interpret videos of various structure within the vocal tract is now widely recognised as a crucial skill for all voice professionals, but it wasn’t always this way.
Jo Estill’s groundbreaking research together with Dr Eiji Yanagisawa in the 1990s revolutionized the way we see and understand what is happening in the larynx and vocal tract when voice is produced.
This Estill Movie Night is a unique opportunity to watch rarely seen laryngoscopic footage from Jo Estill’s investigations of the velopharyngeal port. We are going to spend an evening in the Filter!
Guided by Mary McDonald Klimek EMCI ATP-SD, you will deepen your own knowledge of vocal anatomy and physiology while getting a behind the scenes perspective from a founding partner of EVI who was directly involved in this seminal work.
Stefan Holmström EMT and EMCI-C will facilitate the session.
