This week long course is appropriate for singers, actors, speech language pathologists, and voice teachers. Singers and speakers will learn how to add strength, clarity, range, and stamina to the voice. Teachers and speech pathologists will gain a host of new tools to use in solving common vocal problems and perhaps even a trick or two for the unusual vocal complaint. EVT is applicable to ALL styles of speaking and singing. Participants will use EVT’s innovative training Figures™ to control vocal structures that maximize versatility in speech and song. The Level One course offers a clear understanding of the voice’s limitless possibilities, along with how to keep it vibrant and healthy. Participants will apply their new skills in small group practice sessions. In Level Two, participants will “mix” voice qualities to discover the myriad possibilities that exist for voice qualities. There will also be ample opportunity for questions, discussion, and open coaching sessions. This course is being team-taught by Kerrie Obert and Steven Chicurel.
