Scratchy, croaky, pressed or choked voicing may be an indication of strain. Vocal strain occurs when there is too much effort in the larynx. It can be caused by poor posture, tension, over-breathing or simply trying too hard.

However, it doesn’t have to be this way. When effort is at the right level and in the right place, voicing feels easy. 

This practical workshop is all about efficient voicing. You’ll get to know your true and false vocal folds and begin to train them consciously with Estill Voice Training. 

Conscious, independent control of the true and false vocal folds is invaluable for safe voicing without scratching. It will also help you to access your full dynamic range and improve breath control. 

The workshop is a safe space for exploration with some opportunities for individual coaching throughout the session (but there's no pressure to participate!). There will be opportunities to ask questions. 

What you'll learn

  • How your voice works with an overview of the Estill Model, including vocal anatomy and physiology
  • How to release tension prior to voicing
  • How to use the right amount of effort in the right place
  • Explore and begin to train the true and false vocal folds
  • How to sing and speak in clear tone and breathy tone
  • How to maximise your dynamic range from soft to loud


Who it's for

This workshop is perfect for anyone who wants to learn more about how the voice works and begin to develop practical skills for clear, comfortable voicing. It suits all singers and speakers and is especially useful for speech and language therapists, public speakers, choral directors and voice teachers.
