This course is open to anyone interested in learning more about the voice – singers, speakers, teachers, therapists, choral conductors. Participants will be introduced to the concepts and exercises of Estill Voice Training (also known as Estill Voicecraft), an innovative, informative and empowering approach that creates a pathway to exciting vocal discoveries. Free from aesthetic bias, the Figures (exercises) of Level One reveal the basic mechanics of how the voice works. Each Figure creates a specific vocal sound effect, adds a particular "ingredient" to our vocal "recipe".

In this introductory workshop, we explore the range of effects available and acquire valuable insights regarding vocal health, stamina and power. Each day will include interactive lectures as well as opportunities for group and individual practice. Open Coaching sessions offer the chance to see how Figures can be used to break down the barriers standing between you and your vocal goals.

This Course is designed for all those who use their voice professionally, either as a singer (Classical, Contemporary and/or Theatre Music) or as a speaker (especially school teachers), or as a therapist and for those who are studying to become professionals.
Participants will be given a practical grounding in vocal technique and vocal anatomy and physiology which will allow them to approach any vocal endeavour with confidence and skill. The Estill Model teaches voluntary differentiated control of specific parts of the vocal mechanism, and an understanding of vocal function, with a strong emphasis on safe voicing, no matter which style or genre is favoured.
Each participant will receive individual feedback and monitoring to ensure that all the concepts are understood and applied correctly.

Course will run Monday 18th April to Thursday 21st April and Saturdgy 23rd April, 2011.
