This is the sixth year that we are offering this popular and challenging course. Participants need to have completed two Complete 5 Day Courses in order to sign up for this course. Over three days, we focus on the complex Figure & Voice Quality combinations that are part and parcel of the professional performers’ artillery and which are found across genres; musical theatre, classical, rock and pop. Participants will therefore need a high level of independent control and understanding of both the Figures and Voice Qualities. We will address, among other subjects, the extension of qualities beyond their natural range, common quality combinations in different genres (including musical theatre and opera) as well as a special course dedicated to diction.

Suitable for: Only those who have completed two or more Complete 5 Day Courses

A new course introduced for the first time last year which proved very popular and offered as a result of many enquiries to those who are looking at ways to integrate singing and acting. The actor/singer of any genre is required not only to have a developed singing voice but must also be able to characterise and act through singing. Key to this ability is an understanding of the different voice qualities and what contributes to the overall performance. By identifying the major emotional shifts in the music and lyric, we will look at which Voice Qualities best serve the song and the character.

The day will include:

  • Brief overview of the Voice Qualities
  • Making an impact – Key skills for actor/singers
  • Acting clues in music and lyrics
  • Choosing the right Voice Quality
  • Short masterclass

Suitable for newcomers as well as those with experience of the Estill Model; for teachers & performers, students & professionals, actors and singers.

Belting continues to be a staple of West End and Pop & Rock singing. Once the basics have been mastered, many people still find it difficult to extend their belting range over the ‘break’ or experience problems in certain repertoire.

This day follows on from previous Breathing and Support workshops in response to many requests for further information on the physiology of breathing when singing.

The teaching of ‘support’ is still an area fraught with misunderstanding and misinformation. The key to effective teaching of this crucial area of vocal technique is clear understanding of the physiological basis for the need to ‘support’, what is being supported and the most efficient ways to achieve this.

Building on information given on earlier courses, we will identify which muscles are needed to support the voice by clarifying the relationship between breath and vocalisation. By using ultrasound techniques, we will also identify those muscles which undermine vocal support and those which are essential to sustained, vigorous voice use, in speaking or singing.

Using real time ultrasound, we will demonstrate which muscles tend to be overactive, overwhelming those which are necessary to efficient vocal function.

The day will conclude with a short masterclass, demonstrating the application of the day’s principles in the teaching studio.

The day will include:
• Defining ‘support’ physiologically
• Use of ultrasound to identify key support muscles
• Demonstration of teaching techniques
• Myths and misinformation – disentangling fact from fiction
• Audio and video examples
• Short masterclass

Suitable for: For people both new and familiar with the Estill Voice Model, looking for clarification and consolidation; singers and actors; teachers of voice and singing; students and professionals.

While application of the Estill Model to singing and singing teaching is well established, there is still confusion among many voice teachers as to how the Model is relevant to the teaching and training of actors. The Estill Model provides direct solutions to many of the issues that are unique to the speaking voice and the craft of acting, both students and professionals. As many voice teachers find themselves working in different genres and media, including theatre and film, the Estill Model gives immediate, practical solutions to moving from one genre to another. This day will offer practical exercises, explanations and support in working with students and professionals in stage, film and theatre.

Anne-Marie has pioneered the use of the Estill Model in the teaching of speaking here in the UK, especially in the training of actors and has innovated many approaches in adapting the Model to the spoken voice.

The day will include:

• Brief overview of the Estill Model
• Alternative definitions of ‘support’
• Easy projection and theatre voice
• Teaching of accents
• Differences in teaching voice for stage versus film
• Short masterclass

Suitable For: Those new to the Model, anyone who working with the voice; singing teachers,
professional singers, students and amateurs; voice, speech & drama teachers; actors. Suitable for all styles of performance

"I wanted to write and thank you for such a great weekend and such a fascinating course. I was enthralled by the entire concept and approach. You also really gave me something that I needed at that moment and I'm grateful. My season of marathon singing began last weekend and I had a chance to put what I had learned to some very practical use. And it worked beautifully. I'm finding all sorts of new places and colours and choices. And the public reaction was immediate to what I was doing! Yow!"
