Description

Come along 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. The session welcomes anyone who wants to learn more about how the voice works. It is especially helpful for those who use their voices professionally and want to improve their craft through practice and training (e.g. singers of all genres, actors, voice teachers, choral directors, speech and language therapists, public speakers, etc.). This workshop is also excellent as preparation for one-to-one voice lessons with a certified Estill instructor or as a chance to dip your toe before committing to an Estill Level 1 and 2 course.
