Estill Nivel 1, Las Figuras Obligatorias para el Control de la Voz, consiste en entender, aislar y dominar la fisiología las estructuras anatómicas que contribuyen a la producción vocal.

El método pretende despejar el misterio existente en el entrenamiento vocal. 

El trabajo alterna sesiones de teoría con la practica de las figuras en grupos pequeños y hay la oportunidad de aplicar el trabajo a canciones y textos en sesiones tipo Master Class.

In Level Two, the sound effect "ingredients" discovered in Level One are mixed into "recipes" to produce voice qualities such as opera, belting, sob (a "crooning" quality), falsetto (as in the vibrato-less sound of some early music), twang (as in a role like Oklahoma's Ado Annie), and speech.  This course begins with a Level One review and then moves through discussion, training, and applications for each of the six voice qualities described about.  The advantages, limitations, and risks of each quality will be discussed, as well as appropriate application to repertoire. Course days provide a variety of learning environments: classroom presentations, practice sessions, and open coaching sessions, during which students may present pieces of their own choosing--ideally with problems to be solved. The principles of Estill Voice Training apply to beginning and advanced singers, voice teachers, voice therapists, choral conductors, and actors.  Estill Voice Training promotes both vocal versatility and vocal health. Prerequisite: Level One Attendance Certificate.

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.

What is a level one course?  Participants are introduced to the scientific knowledge and theories that are the foundation of The Estill Voice Model.  It focuses on simple exercises called ‘Compulsory Figures for Voice’ for isolated control of 13 vocal structures that influence voice qualities.  This innovative approach optimizes the study, instruction and rehabilitation of voice.

Who should attend? Actors, singers, teachers, music theater performers, drama coaches, music educators, choral conductors, music ministers,  voice professionals,  speech language pathologists,     anyone who uses and loves the voice will find this course enriching. 

Participants in this course will have supervised practice sessions for the Compulsory Figures and open coaching opportunities to explore the integration of the figures in solo performance, choral, acting and clinical applications.
