Estill Voice Training (EVT) is a revolutionary model of vocal function that helps add strength, clarity, and character to your voice through simple exercises. Based on the research of world-renowned voice scientist and educator Jo Estill. 

EVT turns everyday vocal activities into ‘Figures’ (or exercises) that empower athletic control and artistic expression. 

EVT promotes body awareness and mindfulness to give you the confidence that your voice will always be ready to respond to any challenge you may face in performance and daily life.

Benefits of Estill Voice Training

  • Replaces mystery with knowledge
  • Reduces performance anxiety and promotes confidence
  • Empowers students to make choices
  • Provides vocal variety for performance and daily living
  • Leads to a balance of vocal health and aesthetic freedom

Day Courses

  • Accent Drop In: RP  – 13th March – 2 hours online via Zoom £29
    If you are a performer looking to learn or brush up your accent and dialect skills the accent drop in will be a 2-hour online session where we go through the structure and rules of a specified accent followed by some application time with feedback on your application of the accent.
    I use the Knight-Thompson Speechwork framework for accent work and  will structre the presentation and performance feedback based on the 4 P’s – People, Posture, Prosody and Pronunciation.
