A two-part article I wrote on the Estill vocal method was recently published in the national singers’ periodical Classical Singer magazine. My first article with them–a review of a Portland Opera production–appeared in 2001. I’ve heard from many singers regarding the Estill method, a non-biased approach to singing that helps singers to isolate the various parts of the vocal instrument and what aural variables those parts affect, then teaches ”recipes” that combine those parts for sound qualities such as the belt, opera, and more. I am attending the five-day introductory seminar again in its entirety this October in Point Loma, San Diego, can’t wait!

Hi Lisa.
Really enjoyed the article(s) – very open and balanced.
Great to see more and more Opera singers embracing Estill Voice Training. Hopefully, we’ll soon see an end to the very subjective imagery-based training methods employed in so many classical conservatoires, and replace them with a proven, scientific understanding of the vocal mechanism.
Knowledge is Power. Why be scared of it?!
