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.

Today we will address high end Belting on demand in difficult repertoire, identifying the underlying causes of inconsistencies and limitations and offering practical solutions.

This day will be very practical and hands on; the afternoon session will be given over to a masterclass.

The day will include:

• When to Belt for maximum effect
• Problem areas and solutions
• Belting over the break
• Improving the Belting aesthetic (aka making it sound nice…)
• Audio and video example
• Afternoon masterclass

Suitable for: NOT suitable for beginners. For people familiar with the Model, looking for clarification and consolidation; singers and teachers; students and professionals.

The essential second course in the Estill Model, this weekend intensive will present Level Two, 6 Voice Qualities and is both for those who have just completed Level One and those who wish to refresh and reinforce information from previous courses. The course is presented by Anne-Marie Speed, one of the most experienced teachers of the Estill Model internationally.
Level Two (6 Voice Qualities) shows how to combine the Figures from Level One (12 Compulsory Figures) to build six voice qualities, each with distinct physiological and acoustic characteristics; Speech, Falsetto, Cry/Sob, Twang, Opera and Belting. These qualities are found in many different styles of singing from pop and rock, musical theatre, classical and opera, folk and jazz. They are also found across different ethnic and cultural groups.
This weekend intensive course will present the six voice qualities, with their respective physiological definitions and with clear guidance on how to produce the qualities, where and in what genres they are used, what the requirements are to make the qualities and overcoming any problems related to producing the Voice Qualities.
While examples are sometimes easier to find in singing, this work applies just as well to the training of actors and the development of the speaking voice, as will be clearly demonstrated on the course.

The course will include:
• Brief review of Level One
• Presentation of each Voice Quality
• Video Research
• Audio & Video examples of performance
• Application in teaching and performance, singing and speaking

Suitable for:
For those who have completed Level One, those with experience of the Estill Model; for teachers & performers, students & professionals, actors and singers.

This course is offered with a companion Level One in November.
Fees:
Level One ( 26-28 November) €375

This course is open to anyone interested in learning more about the voice - singers, speakers, teachers, therapists, choral conductors.  Participants will be introduced to the concepts and exercises of Estill Voice Training (also known as Estill Voicecraft), an innovative, informative and empowering approach that creates a pathway to exciting vocal discoveries. Free from aesthetic bias, the Figures (exercises) of Level One reveal the basic mechanics of how the voice works. Each Figure creates a specific vocal sound effect, adds a particular "ingredient" to our vocal "recipe".

In this introductory workshop, we explore the range of effects available and acquire valuable insights regarding vocal health, stamina and power. Each day will include interactive lectures as well as opportunities for group and individual practice. Open Coaching sessions offer the chance to see how Figures can be used to break down the barriers standing between you and your vocal goals.
