This course is for anyone who would like to improve their singing or speaking voice—singers, actors, vocal coaches, drama instructors, Speech-Language Pathologists and other vocal health professionals.  The Level One & Two courses will be taught in two consecutive weekends: Level One - October 28 - 20.  Level Two- November 5-6.

Level One: Figures for Voice™ teaches the tools of the craft to add strength, clarity and stamina to your voice! Participants will use EVT’s innovative Figures for Voice™ to learn control of the vocal structures that influence voice quality. Each Figure employs exercises that will give you new vocal options for all styles speaking and singing. Level Two combines the Figures from Level One to produce six voice qualities: Speech, Falsetto, Sob, Twang, Opera, and Belting. Figure Combinations for Six Voice Qualities™ offers a clear understanding of the voice’s limitless possibilities, along with how to keep it vibrant and healthy. Throughout the day, the new voice skills are practiced in small group sessions. There will also be ample time for questions, discussion, and work on individual repertoire or case studies.

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.

Level One: Compulsory Figures for Voice™ teaches the tools of the craft. Add strength, clarity, range, and stamina to your voice!

This workshop is offered over two weekends to accommodate those working on a week day schedule. The first weekend is the three day weekend, honoring Martin Luther King.

This course begins with brief review of the Level One Compulsory Figures for skill refinement, and then moves through discussion, training, and applications for each of the six voice qualities described above. With the structural control gained through Figures for Voice Control, students learn to "mix" each of the arbitrary voice quality "recipes." The advantages, limitations, and risks of each quality will be discussed, as well as appropriate application to repertoire. There will be a focus on production in the context of vocal health. Students are encouraged to bring songs and text for open coaching sessions. Prerequisite: Certificate of Attendance from a Level One Course in Estill Voice Training.
