To celebrate our world view and multi-cultural interests, Estill Voice International produces an international symposium every two years. In presentations and workshops led by some of our most gifted teachers and invited guests from the scientific, medical and voice training communities, we explore the world of vocal possibilities.
Since our second symposium, we have also celebrated those who have made significant contributions to the field of voice through Estill Voice International’s Estill Lifetime Achievement Award. This award recognizes outstanding individuals who have served as role models to others and have devoted their life-long careers to the advancement of voice research and/or voice education.
These individuals have led the voice profession with an open mind and heart, inspiring inventiveness and meeting the needs of others without aesthetic bias. They have embraced the mission of Jo Estill: to bring voice training into all regions of the world.
