Nina Sainato2019-10-15T15:46:34-04:00 Estill Voice TrainingAbbreviationEVTParent of Estill Voice International, LLC E Voice Training (often abbreviated EVT) is a program for the development of vocal skills, based on the analysis of the process of vocal production in the management of specific structures in the vocal mechanism. By acquiring the ability to consciously move each structure, the potential for controlled change in voice quality increases. British speech therapist Sarah Harris writes: The work allows singing/voice teachers, voice trainers, speech therapists and language therapists to identify and solve specific vocal problems that have led to fatigue or damage to voice folds. Many of the maneuvers are already familiar to speech therapists because they have been adapted from traditional methods, but synthesized into an extremely creative system. Applying the system to dysphonic patients yields excellent results, and the therapist will gain greater confidence in their own use of the voice by mastering the maneuvers and qualities themselves.- Sarah Harris, Voice Clinic Guide, Speech Therapy for Dysphonia pp 171-172 System was created in 1988 by American voice singing specialist Joe Estill, who has researched in this area since 1979. Estill's research led to a series of vocal maneuvers to develop specific control over individual muscle groups in the vocal mechanism. Soto-Moretti quotes Estilla as saying that the great strength of her method is that it can be used for any style of music, and speech therapists and language therapists describe the exercises as valuable for voice therapy as well as singing, both in professional and unprofessional use of voice, offering an approach to therapeutic intervention.

Principles of Power, Source and Filter: Estill Voice Training sections the voice system into three components of strength, source and filter expanding the existing voice production source-filter model. Power is a source of energy producing sound (usually the respiratory system causes air to be expelled from the lungs). The 'source' is a component that vibrates to create sound waves (vocal folds). Filter is the formation of sound waves to create the final result (vocal tract). The focus of Estill Voice Training is on the original and filtered components of the vocal system and the interaction between them. Craft, Artistry and Performance Magic: Estill Voice Training divides the use of voice into crafting control over vocal mechanism, artistry of expression in relation to material and context, as well as or a singer connecting with his audience. Estill Voice Training focuses on the kraft aspect and was therefore also known as Estill Voice Craft by some practitioners. Effort Levels: Estill Voice Training uses identification and quantification of the level of work or effort required for conversation and singing to help develop kinistic feedback. This approach allows the speaker or singer to recognize, find and control the degree of effort associated with voice production. Theory of Dynamic Systems and Abortion States: The human vocal system is extremely complex, including interaction between the flow of breath, moving structures, resonators, and so on. Estill Voice Training relies on a branch of applied mathematics known as Dynamic Systems Theory, which helps describe complex systems. One of the key concepts of Estill Voice Training, based on the theory of dynamic systems, is the idea that complex systems can have audit states. Adoror States are states to which a complex system tends or attracts over time. When applied to the human vocal system, Estill Voice Training suggests there are vocal system configurations that are states-auditors that a speaker or singer uses normally or are prone to. The numbers for Voice In Estill Voice Training there are thirteen 1021 vocal exercises or numbers for voice (named after the obligatory figures that skaters use to demonstrate skill). Each exercise or figure establishes control over a specific structure of the vocal mechanism, in isolation, moving the structure through a series of positions. For example, a drawing to control the velum (soft sky) involves moving the velum through raised, partially lowered and lowered positions. Thirteen figures for the voice are: True Vocal Folds: Onset/Offset Control False Vocal Folds Control True Vocal Folds: Body-Cover Control Thyroid Control Cricoid Control Larynx Control Larynx Control Aryepiglottic Sphincter Control Jaw Control Head and Neck Control Torso Control Janice Chapman, opera singer, voice and researcher, writes: Estilla's figures lead to much greater freedom and flexibility. Voice drawings are taught on the Level One: Numbers for Voice course, which usually lasts three days. In addition to Thirteen drawings for voice, Estill Voice Training also includes the Siren exercise, where sound is produced throughout the vocal range. Other figures have historically been part of the model, including the vocal folding mass, which is now part of the true vocal control of the body cover, the vocal plane folds, which is now part of the true vocal management of body folds and exercises for the quality of falsets, and the faring width, which is now part of the false vocal control of folds and head and neck control. True Vocal Folds: Onset/Offset Control: This number has three options for coordinating expiration and closing vocal folds: 28 glottal, where vocal folds are closed before expiration, smooth, where the closing of the voice fold is synchronized with expiration, and aspirate, where expiration precedes the closing of the voice fold. Learning to produce and apply different beginnings marks the beginning of control over the vocal mechanism. False Vocal Folds Control: Estill Voice Training identifies three possible positions of false voice folds: narrowed, medium, and recalled. This figure is useful in detecting the narrowing of the hglot and ventricle. Its concepts and options are valuable for voice therapy as well as singing. The silent laughter technique developed by Joe Estyle is widely cited as reducing false vocal narrowing of the folds. True Vocal Folds: Body-Cover Control: The body-cover theory of the vocal folding structure was introduced by Hirano in 1977. This figure demonstrates the controlled use of vocal folds in four configurations of the body cover: on a thick edge, on a thin edge, in hard mode, or in sluggish mode. These body cover configurations alter or alter the vibrational modes of true voice folds and, within the dynamic system of the human voice, affect the intensity of the sound produced and contribute to what is commonly referred to as various human vocal registers. This figure was formerly known as a vocal folding mass. This figure demonstrates the position or tilt of thyroid cartilage through the interaction or separation of the cryothyroid muscle. A speaker or singer can tilt the cartilage of the thyroid gland by adopting a posture of crying or sobbing, or issuing a soft whimpering noise like a small dog, nagging. In Estill Voice training, it is suggested that the position of thyroid cartilage should affect not only the height, but also the quality and intensity of the sound produced. Cricoid Cartilage Control: This figure demonstrates control of the position of the cryoid cartilage. In the training Estill Voice suggests that the specific positioning of cryoid cartilage is a typical part of vocal for screams and other high-intensity voice productions that use higher subglotic pressure. Larinx Larinx This figure trains the raising and lowering of the larynx, affecting the resonance. This figure was formerly known as a figure of the height of the larynx. Velum Control: This figure trains velum (also known as soft sky) and consists of opening exercises, partially closing and completely closing the port of velofaring to control the degree of nasality in the voice. Dina Harris writes, Estilla has great exercises to teach palace control. Language control: This figure demonstrates the influence of different language poses, such as compressed. As a practical example, Diana Lites (Estill Certified Voice Training Instructor) worked on the interaction of language and larynx when she was working on vocal issues for Marty Rowe, lead singer of Diamond Rio. Language control can have subtle resonant changes and give greater range flexibility. Aryepiglottic Sphincter Control: This figure demonstrates the ability to control the twang in the voice through the conscious narrowing of the anteroposteric aryepiglottic sphincter in the upper epilarinx, while avoiding the narrowing of false voice folds. Estill suggests that this laryngal tube creates a separate resonator, which is responsible for additional brightness in the phonation. Jaw Control: The jaw shape shows subtle resonant changes in the vocal production that are associated with different positions or postures of the jaw. Lip control: This figure demonstrates the different lip poses used by speakers and singers, and their subtle effect on vocal resonance by changing the length of the vocal tract. Head and neck control: The head and neck anchor includes fixing the skeletal structures of the head and neck giving a stable external base for the smaller muscles that control the vocal tract. Torso control: The torso anchor stabilizes the body and breathing. Gilliann Kayes writes: The methods of tone-fixing have been described over the centuries by singers and teachers under different names: support, singing from the back, singing from the neck, appogiar, rooting, grounding and connecting the voice. In the Estill learning model, I believe these methods were correctly defined as postural anchor. The voice qualities of Estill Voice Training include six voice qualities as voice control demonstration mechanisms. Increased control developed through knowledge in different figures for voice allowing the singer or speaker to manipulate the vocal mechanism specifically to produce these arbitrary voice qualities, and changes on them.
