Description

This Advanced 1 course is only for people who have attended Level One & Two courses in Norway or Sweden. The course will focus on repetition and more advanced exercises of Level One & Two and analysis of problems & solutions/Pedagogical issues. We will mostly work practically and integrate figures and qualities into music and also have time to focus on individual coaching/training.

This Full Estill Course is open to anyone interested in learning more about how the voice works and how to gain control of the structures which determine vocal quality. This includes speakers, singers, teachers and performers of all styles. Level One will introduce the figures – exercises to control of the structures of the vocal tract – and Level Two will explore different vocal qualities used in classical & contemporary singing, music theatre and also in the spoken voice.

Please Note: If you have previously completed a course and already have the course workbooks, please contact Jenny for reduced course fee.

 This workshop is open to SINGERS, ACTORS, PERFORMERS, TEACHERS… ALL VOICE USERS. No previous Estill experience required. However you speak, however you sing, Estill Voice Training has something to offer you. We welcome all singing styles: folk, pop/rock, classical, blues, gospel, Broadway, opera, jazz, R&B… Bring it on! Our focus will be a clearer understanding of how the voice works and exploration of the artistic possibilities (aesthetically unbiased) presented by Estill Voice Training - where vocal versatility and vitality are paramount.

The workshop will conclude in an “Open Session” during which individuals can receive coaching from the workshop leaders to discover how even a few Estill Voice Training exercises and options can make a striking difference in how the voice sounds and feels.

This complete course in Estill Voice Training is open to voice teachers, singers and speakers as well as singer/songwriters, music producers, dancers and all other voice users. Estill is craft for singers, like fingering for the pianist, the gym for athletes, ballet for dancers or grammar for language. Learn advanced anatomy, how the voice physically functions and how to control the components that change voice quality through kinesthetic perception and muscle training. Emphasis on aesthetic freedom and vocal safety across all styles and genres – from rock to opera, jazz to belting!

Level 1
In Level One, participants will accomplish a deeper understanding of vocal anatomy and the physiology of the larynx. The students will be able to increase their kinesthetic perception and maximize their control over their “reed”-instrument. The scientifically researched figures or muscle training exercises allow the voice user to individually monitor, control and adjust all researched muscular structures involved in sound production and therefore safely produce any style or genre specific voice quality.
Each participant will receive individual feedback and monitoring to ensure that all concepts are understood and applied correctly. From the start, the emphasis will be on singing and speaking, both individually and as a group to reinforce technical ideas and ensure correct training of muscle memory.

Level 2
During Level Two, participants will develop mastery of 6 archetype vocal qualities including Speech, Falsetto, Twang (nasal and oral), Sob, Opera and Belting. Additionally, contemporary, classical, and music theatre voice qualities will be studied in order to create a better understanding of how the work can be applied on stage, in the studio and in rehearsals. The client will be supplied with a toolbox of muscular skills, anatomically correct vocabulary and the confidence that anyone can train the muscles of their voice in order to achieve any aesthetic goal. Finally, students will be able to participate in a master class in order to apply the tools learnt in a group/performance environment. Singers may present pieces of their own choosing, ideally with problems to be solved.

There is no pre-requisite nor audition for this course.
