The Aryepiglottic Sphincter, or AES, helps to produce the super-resonance known as twang, which is heard in opera, belting, folk singing, country & western, bluegrass, pop/rock and also in the spoken voice. Estill Voice Training (EVT) offers an excellent way to hone the skill of AES control, giving you the ability to instantly transform your voice without risking vocal health. 

The session includes in-depth information, practical group exercises, some individual coaching and advice on application in artistry and teaching. 

This course is aimed at anyone who wants to learn more about how the voice works, singers of all genres and all speakers (e.g. actors, teachers, vicars, etc.), voice teachers, choral directors and speech and language therapists.
