Level One is for anyone interested in learning about the voice. This intense course begins with an overview, where we introduce the philosophy and science behind Estill Voice Training and Figures for Voice™ exercises. Presentations are combined with frequent small group practice sessions, supervised by fully-trained interns, where all participants experience creating and applying Figures for Voice™. In addition we run master class sessions where you can apply the exercises to your own performance. We cover how the system relates to different voice fields, from opera to musical theatre, from theatre voice to public speaking, and enable truly versatile vocal performers. As well as teachers and students of performance, this course will be of interest to speech and language therapists with voice clients.

"Everyone has a beautiful voice. You just have to know how to use it," says singer & scientist Jo Estill. Her system, Estill Voice Training™ (EVT), simplifies the learning process by breaking the voice down into its working parts – the actual structures that make the voice work. Using Estill’s Figures for Voice™, students learn to control each structure independently and then combine the structures to create different voice qualities. This course is available for anyone who would like to improve their singing or speaking voice – vocal instructors, drama instructors, Speech-Language Pathologists and other vocal health professionals. The skills developed in Level One will add strength, clarity and stamina to your voice! Throughout the course, participants will apply their new skills to all styles of speaking and singing in small group practice sessions. Participants will learn the same Estill Voice Training tools that are used daily on stages from the Met to Broadway to Nashville to Madison Square Garden!
