LEVEL: Both beginner and advanced

WHAT ESTILL IS NEEDED FOR:

All Estill exercises, including work on vocal qualities, can be applied both to the singing voice and to the spoken voice.

EVT can teach actors and singers to improve the effectiveness of vocal production, better manage the effort of performance, optimize muscle work and the role of breathing, vary the tones based on the character or style, lighten or darken the voice, clean it or “dirty” it, increase or eliminate the nasalization to “characterize” a character, increase the projection, audibility and volume of the voice, control all the structures that contribute to the production of vowels and consonants in order to work on a more conscious diction and easily master the accents of different languages, of different dialects (and sociolects), and much more.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:

This course runs over 5 consecutive weekends. Level 1 is running on 26th, 27h of April and 3rd, 4th, 10th and 11th of May; Level 2 in running  on 17th, 18th, 24th and 25th of May.

Course materials and lectures will be in English. Basic assistance in Chinese (Cantonese/Mandarin), Italian, Spanish, German, Japanese and Korean is available upon request. Practice groups in languages other than English might be possible with enough registered students speaking the same language.

The course includes the presence of guest teachers who will present short lessons on complementary topics, included in the total 30 hours, not included in the Estill curriculum and which will not reduce the 24 hours of the guaranteed Estill program.

The Level 1 and 2 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.
