The Complete Estill Course

Level 1 – Compulsory Figures

• Independent control of 13 structures in the vocal mechanism

• Advanced understanding of vocal physiology

• Control the sound by controlling the “reed” and shape of your instrument

• Receive individual attention, discover and fix your habits, and get biofeedback on a spectrogram.

“It’s not about the breath, but what the breath meets on its way out.” - Jo Estill

Level 2 – Figure Combinations

• Analyze 6 archetype vocal qualities and its variations for singing and speaking

• Speech, Falsetto, Twang (nasal and oral), Sob, Opera and Belting

• Apply your new toolbox of muscular skills when changing voice quality, conquering the “break” or solving common voice problems in your students and patients.

“Estill is Craft – Craft is a biomechanical skill: What are the parts of my instrument, how do they work and how can I control them?”
