What is Estill Voice Training?

Unlike teaching methods based mainly on sensation or personal preference, EVT provides tools that can help everyone develop and discover their own beautiful voice.

By analyzing the process of voice production and learning how to consciously control individual structures, you can develop greater control over your voice.

This system was established in 1988 by American voice specialist Jo Estill, who had been researching the field since 1979. Today, Estill Voice Training is used around the world by singers, vocal coaches, actors, and speech therapists, particularly throughout Europe and the United States.

How Does Estill Work?

For example, if you are having difficulty producing a high note, there may be several different reasons depending on the individual.

The first step is to analyze why the difficulty is occurring. If, for example, a low laryngeal position is contributing to the problem, we explore what movements are needed and learn to understand them through both physical sensation and listening.

If the problem persists, we look for other possible causes. For example, the tongue may be pushing downward and interfering with the movement of the larynx. By identifying and addressing these individual factors, we can work toward a more efficient and controllable voice.
