BREATHING and SUPPORT -呼吸とサポートin EVT- ~芸術のためのサイエンス

【エスティルについて】

エスティルで使われるエクササイズは、声質に関するものも含め、歌声と話し声の両方に適用することができます。
エスティルでは、俳優や歌手に対して、効果的な声の出し方のと改善方法、パフォーマンスのエフォート（努力指数）管理、筋肉の働きと呼吸の役割の最適化、キャラクターやスタイルに応じた音色の変化、声の明るさや暗さ、クリーンな声やディストーション、キャラクターを特徴づけるための鼻音の増減、声をより前に出す、声のボリュームを上げる、母音と子音の発声に関わる構造をコントロールすることで異なる言語・方言を容易にマスターする事　などを教えることができます。

【このワークショップについて】
声において、息の役割とはなんでしょうか？なぜ息のエクササイズをする必要があるのでしょうか？呼吸は声の生成においてどのように協力したり邪魔したりするのでしょうか？音量や音域のためにどのように呼吸を効果的に使う事ができるのでしょうか？声のサポートとはなんでしょうか？そのサポートとは何をサポートするのでしょうか？

残念ながら呼吸トレーニングの多くは、何世紀も前の声に関する科学的知識が限られていた時代に作られた古い誤解に基づいたものがほとんどです。才能ある教師たちは何世紀にも渡って素晴らしい直感を持ち、効果的な呼吸法と歌のエクササイズを考案してきましたが、生理学のより詳細な知識が分かった今、最新の研究に基づいたアップデートが必要な時期が来ています。何を正しく行うべきかを正確に説明し、より効果的なトレーニングが必要です。しかし、間違った説明がされていることもよくあります。

このワークショップでは、科学的な文献を通して、また継続的な実践においてこれらの疑問すべてに応えられるようにします。
また、学生や教師が最短でゴールに到達できるよう、声のサポートのトレーニングを確率していく予定です。

ENGLISH:

Do you want to know more about EVT?

Do you already know EVT, but want to know how to effectively put it into practice?

Do you want to know why you run out of breath?

Have you been told that you should “support” with your diaphragm but when you do your voice doesn’t change and you just feel more tired?

Do you want to know how much breath you need and how to manage it for the high notes?

Do you want to know how much breath you need and how to manage it to sing louder?

Do you want to know how to manage the breath to belt safely and effectively?

Do you want to know which principles you should consider if you want to use the breath to preserve your vocal health?

Do you want to know how to “support” efficiently?

Do you want to get rid of extraneous tensions in your face, neck, throat and torso while you sing or act, learning to manage muscular effort in a stable, efficient way that improves your performance without harming your vocal health?

Are you a performer or a student looking for tips and tricks to increase your vocal range, master the dynamics, change the timbres, to belt with no risks, have more control and awareness, avoid or master voice breaks, and much more?

Are you a teacher looking for effective teaching tools?

If you answered “yes” to at least one of these questions, then this workshop is for you!

JUNE, 2023; 1pm-7pm Japan Time (including coffee breaks and lunch break)

SUITABLE FOR: Singers, actors, singing teachers, spoken-voice teachers, speech therapists.

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:

What’s the role of the breath in voice production? What is the purpose of breathing exercises? Why should we prefer one kind of breath training to others? How can the breath cooperate with voice production, and when it actually disturbs it?  Why do we run out of breath? How can we use the breath effectively for volume and range? What is support in voice? What do we support when we support?

Unfortunately, much of breathing training is based on old misconceptions created centuries ago when the scientific knowledge about voice was very limited. Although gifted teachers have had brilliant intuitions over the centuries and designed some very effective breathing & singing exercises, it’s certainly time for an update based on a much more detailed knowledge of physiology.  We need more effective training for a more exact explanation of what to do correctly, but we often explain it wrong.

Through scientific references, but also through a consistent and continuous practice – by overview of exercises and personal experiences, this workshop will try to answer all these questions. Also, we will establish a good training that is quite effective for voice support that can enable students and teachers to save time while reaching their goals more effectively.

At the end of the day, some volunteers will have the opportunity to work on their acting or singing in a masterclass/open session in which students and teachers will use EVT to solve common voice problems encountered.
