Speaking: Find a New Way

• Do you avoid listening to your voicemail greeting?
• Do you avoid speaking up or make a point not to be heard?
• Do you need more power in your speaking voice?
• Do you want to add new dimensions to your acting voice?
• Do you want to speak free of pain and fatigue?

Estill offers a valuable method for speakers of all kinds – teachers, ministers, business executives, parents, sales-people – anyone whose life or career calls for prolonged use of the voice.

EVT uses Voiceprint™, a state-of-the-art computer software program, to record, analyze, and play back the voice. Voiceprint™ provides meaningful feedback about pitch and voice quality to enhance the learning process. EVT’s training exercises are employed to teach control of such vocal parameters as pitch, diction, and voice quality. Research has demonstrated that control of these features enables the speaker to facilitate listener rapport, comprehension, and recall, as well as helping the speaker to appear more intelligent – and even more attractive!

Singing: Find a New Way

• Do you ever ask yourself after a brilliant performance, “How did I do that? Will I be able to do it again?”
• Do you want to sing higher?
• Do you need to sing in many styles?
• Do you want to sing free of pain and fatigue?
• Do you feel you have hit a plateau in your training?
• Do you need creative solutions for voice training?

EVT separates voice training into three areas of proficiency: Craft, Artistry, and Magic.

Craft encompasses mastery of  the various structures of your vocal instrument. Each “voice part” contributes to the color of your tone. Control of these structures leads to unlimited options for changing voice quality without vocal strain.

Artistry includes mastery of the stylistic elements of performance practice. Craft gives you the tools. Artistry gives you the know-how to make your vision a reality, enabling you to sing everything from pop, to jazz, to opera and music theater.

Magic encompasses the indescribable experience of becoming one with your audience. Magical performances are breath-taking, goose-bump-raising, transformational experiences for both vocalist and audience. But these magic moments can be rare, unpredictable, and fleeting. Having a strong foundation of Craft and Artistry improves your chances of experiencing performance magic more frequently.

Health: Find a New Way

• Do you need innovative tools for voice therapy?
• Do you need to understand the voice from the inside out to help others?
• Do you need quick & easy ways to document treatment outcomes?
