9 Years & Counting...

How time flies!  It’s 9 years to the day since I began my Estill Voice Training journey, culminating in becoming one of the UK’s few CMTs in 2012.
 
It was an unbelievably challenging process which involved hugely extensive anatomical and vocal study, rigorous exams and testing, meticulous teaching of vocal figures and exercises, not to mention comprehensive sung/spoken demonstrations of all figures and voice qualities/various genres.  All with next to no margin for error.  Many sleepless nights were had, match-sticks used and coffee drank, lemme tell you.  But I wouldn’t change any of it.
 
EVT collated, researched and laid the foundations for

​much of the understanding and terminology surrounding the singing, and speaking, voice within vocal coaching that exists today.  It expects and demands the highest standards of coaching from all who qualify.
 
And while I draw from a wide-range of ideas, methods, research and personal musical experience through my various roles, it continues to be one of the most powerful voice toolkits and programmes out there.  More importantly, through EVT, allied to my wider industry experience and research, I see real development in my clients and students every session.
