Want to know what Estill Voice Training is all about?
Estill Voice Training is used to teach voice in professional training worldwide, including in many of the top drama schools in the UK. It’s a scientific approach to vocal production which emphasises training the individual structures of the voice in isolation, empowering singers and speakers with tools that lead them to complete creative freedom.
What the workshop includes:
This one-day workshop will be a fun and practical introduction to the Estill Model, where we will explore:
concepts of Effort, Power, Source, Filter, Pitch and Attractor States in the context of the Estill Model
an anatomical overview of the voice
13 ‘Figures’ for voice control - looking at individual structures in our voice production and how they affect the sounds we make
6 Voice Qualities: Speech, Falsetto, Sob, Twang, Opera and Belt
the Estill hand signals to enhance learning
Voiceprint Plus, a programme that enables you to ‘see’ and gain visual feedback on your voice
At the end of the day, there’ll be an open coaching session, where you’re welcome to bring a song or spoken piece to work on and receive Estill-based feedback and guidance to apply the learning from the day. Coaching slots will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
This will be a safe and non-judgmental space for vocal exploration. Individual feedback will also be offered throughout the day, although individual participation isn’t compulsory! Estill Voice Training has no aesthetic bias, and voice users from any background are warmly welcome.
Who is this workshop for?
This whole-day, in-person interactive workshop will be a wonderful opportunity to discover how transformative and empowering Estill can be, and could be ideal for:
