The Voice Explained

The Voice Explained page for anyone interested in the Estill Model and related courses.

The Estill Model is a system of voice training that identifies the structures in the larynx responsible for producing voice and those in the vocal tract or throat responsible for controlling resonance and voice quality. Using simple everyday sounds common to everyone, these structures are identified, isolated and then used to develop conscious, voluntary and predictable control of the voice. Wheth

er you want to increase your range, learn how to Belt or shout safely, manage the Passaggio, increase power and improve breath control, the Estill Model provides practical solutions for all these vocal problems, and more.

LEVELS 1&2 IN ESTILL VOICE TRAINING

12-16 SEPTEMBER at NIDA

PRESENTED ONLINE AND IN PERSON

Expert tuition in Estill Voice Training!

Join me, Anne-Marie Speed, for Levels 1&2 and five days of enlightening, voice restoring, confidence building and career enhancing voice training that will completely change not only how you think about voice but what you believe is possible to achieve.

I am an Estill Mentor and Course Instructor, vocal coach, voice, singing and accent coach working in major films, theatre, TV, West End musical theatre, plays and pop/rock.

Recent film and TV projects include: BACK TO BLACK the Amy Winehouse biopic, WICKED the hit stage musical turned into a hit film, PISTOL the story of the S*x Pistols

The scope and range of my work has been possible because of the practical understanding of voice given to me by Estill Voice Training.

Estill Voice Training is unique in how it explains voice production separate to an attachment to one particular style or genre.

It offers task specific exercises that develop independent voluntary control of the structures responsible for producing voice and controlling resonance. This means that working one structure doesn’t automatically and uninvitedly impact another.

The principles and practise can be applied successfully to speaking and singing, in performance and in the clinic, for teachers, actors and singers, students and professionals, beginners and experts.

🔎 for speaking and singing
🔎 36+ hours of tuition including anatomy, physiology and acoustics
🔎 Interactive, immersive learning
🔎 Breakdown of independent control of 13 vocal structures and 6 Voice Qualities
🔎 Small group practise with individual feedback
🔎 Daily evening masterclass to see the work put into practice, speaking and singing
🔎 Practical solutions to long standing problems
🔎 Voice production clearly explained
🔎 Artistic training embedded


What people say:

“This course went above and beyond my expectations! Such an eye opening experience, I learnt so much more than I expected to”.

“I was engaged at all times. Anne-Marie has such an incredible wealth of experience and knowledge and conveys it in such a fun, approachable and easy to understand way”.

“Finding Estill has completely changed my relationship with my voice. I have ownership over my own voice again and I have the tools and knowledge of how to use it to best serve me. There is no longer any “I can’t” it is now “I just don’t know how yet. it’s unfamiliar” which is incredibly empowering”.

* over 30 years of experience
* more than 100 Levels 1&2 courses taught
* over 60 West End plays and musicals coached
* over 100 film and TV productions

Let me take you through the extraordinary benefits alongside direct application of this work into your teaching, training or performance, whatever your level of experience.

Join me for a revolutionary, voice and life changing course.
