Description
This course is open to anyone who wants to know more about voice – singing. The course begins with an introduction to the Estill Voice Model with Compulsory Figures for Voice, and an overview of this course. After three days of Level One, we will introduce and work on the 6 Voice Qualities in Level Two, (Speech, Falsetto, Sob, Twang, Opera and Belting). During each of these 5 days we will practice the Figures of Level One and the Six Voice Qualities of Level Two together and individually in small groups, integrating new skills into singing and applying them to different genres of music. The days will alternate between classroom presentations, practice sessions in small groups and open sessions.
 

The Estill Model offers precise tools to assist teachers and performers in the training and ongoing development of the voice, whether speaking or singing. It uniquely identifies hose structures in the larynx responsible for producing the voice and those in the throat or vocal tract that control resonance or voice quality. The course is presented by Anne-Marie Speed, one of the most experienced teachers of the Estill Model internationally.
The Estill Model has revolutionised the teaching of voice, with its emphasis on the development of voluntary control of the muscles responsible for producing the voice. Through the practice of specific exercises known as ‘Compulsory Figures’, participants gain a conscious, practical and muscular control of the voice that is unique. This control eliminates much of the ‘guess’ factor, ensuring singers and actors greater consistency and reliability in both rehearsal and performance. It is routinely used in the UK’s most prestigious conservatoires and drama schools and by professionals working in opera, pop, musical theatre and acting. It is also used by many speech and language therapists.

The course will include:
• Scientific background & video research
• Application to teaching and performance
• Using the Estill Model to solve common vocal problems
• Audio & Video examples
• Short master classes
• Question and Answer session

Suitable For:
Those new to the Model, those seeking a refresher and interested in Certification, anyone who teaches singing or who is a singer, either professional or student; actors, both professionals and those in training; voice, speech and drama teachers

The Complete Estill Course
Estill Voice Training is craft for singers, like fingering for the pianist.

Practice independent voice motor control. Understand advanced anatomy and how the voice physically and acoustically functions. 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 One – Figures for Voice Control
In Level One, participants will accomplish an advanced 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 Two – Figure Combinations for Six Voice Qualities
During Level Two, participants will analyze and 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.

Este curso de tres días empieza con una introducción al modelo de la voz de Jo Estill y a su historia y con un taller de anatomía y fisiología. Durante los próximos tres días, se presentarán las figuras obligatorias que componen el sistema. Los asistentes tendrán la posibilidad de practicar en grupos pequeños con ayudantes titulados. Cada día habrá una sesión abierta donde los participantes podrán aplicar el sistema (trabajo) a su propia “performance” sea Pop, Jazz, Teatro Musical, Ópera o la voz hablada.
Habrá algún énfasis en el uso de las figuras en logopedia, aprovechando la experiencia del profesorado en patologías vocales. También existe la posibilidad de practicar las figuras del modelo en canto armónico.
Este curso está abierto a cualquier artista, cualquier persona que usa la voz profesionalmente, médicos y logopedas y cualquier persona que quiere conocer más de su voz y disfrutarla.
