After a short hiatus, one of our most popular extended training courses returns ONLINE!! Participants need to have completed two Levels 1&2 in order to take part.

This is an UPDATED course offering, first developed by Anne-Marie almost 20 years ago. It came out of her experience in applying Estill Voice Training to create complex Figure & Voice Quality combinations to provide solutions to the problem of wide range of vocal styles needed by the professional performers across a range of genres and performing environments. These combinations give the performer access to a variety of different vocal colours and sounds that are essential to interpretation, artistic choice and expression. These lie outside and in addition to Estill Six Voice Qualities but are based on successful producing them first.

We will address the requirements of different genres from musical theatre, classical, rock and pop. Participants will therefore need a high level of independent control and understanding of both the Figures and Voice Qualities.

We will address, among other topics:

• the extension of qualities beyond their natural range
• common quality combinations in different genres
• beyond Belting – taking Belt higher, where to shift and what to shift into
• a special course dedicated to Diction – the performer’s secret weapon
• guided, small group practise
• short masterclass/open session included every day
• Q&As

Suitable for: Only those who have completed two or more Levels 1&2, EMT candidates, EMTs
