What is Estill Voice Training™?

The Question

Jo Estill, who founded Estill Voice Training™ in 1988, started by asking the simple question, “How am I doing this?” Now a world-renowned educator, researcher, and singer, Jo has devoted her life to answering that question.

The Answer

Jo provides the answer by turning the complex study of vocal production into a manageable set of structures and voice qualities. Her system, Estill Voice Training™ (also known as Estill Voice Craft™), simplifies the learning process by breaking the voice down into its working parts – the actual structures that make the voice work. Using EVT’s Figures for Voice™, a series of vocal exercises, students learn to control each structure independently and then combine the structures to create different voice qualities.
