Did you know that "big breaths" can often NEGATIVELY impact your sound. In fact, a small lung volume works best for belted sounds. Learn more in our lectures on “Recoil Breath”, Power, Source and Filter interactions.

Small breaths or small lung volume doesn’t necessarily mean “shallow breathing” or  loose vocal support. In our section on Anchoring we’ll unpack how to engage your torso, lengthen the back of the neck and other “engagement” prompts to allow your voice to work freely without unnecessary effort.

The main goal of learning Estill is to learn how to selectively move isolated parts of the vocal tract to make finer adjustments of the brightness, darkness, breathiness, nasality, and other timbral qualities of the voice. How might more versatility impact your artistry and career? Find out in our lectures on Larynx control, Lip Control, Tongue control and more.

Breathiness is neither bad nor good. It simply serves some styles and contexts, but not others. Estill Voice Training espouses "no aesthetic bias." The goal is full control of how breathy (or non-breathy) you CHOOSE to use your voice. Learn more in our lecture on True Vocal Fold Body-Cover Control.

One of the core components within Estill is developing specific isolated control so we can move effort away from the larynx; engaging the big muscles. Then tiny vocal folds can move freely without unnecessary pressure.

Voices are not binary. You are neither a “belter” nor a “legit singer.” You are neither head dominant nor chest dominant. You can gain full control over how young, old, talky, singy, speaky, belty, nasally, riffy, etc. you'd like to sound.

Nasality can be controlled depending on the height of the velum/soft palate. You can make your sound fully nasal, nasalized, or oral, each of which may or may not be useful for your style or character. Find out how to control nasality in our lecture on Velum control.

Do you know what your favorite singer is doing to produce that sound? You can learn how to do it too with the Estill Voice Training "placemat."
