Course Description
Was That Right? The Value of Visual Feedback for Voice Training & Treatment.
In conjunction with the launch of the new, browser-based Estill Voiceprint™, this interactive event explores how visual feedback transforms the way we train, teach, and rehabilitate the voice.
Led by Kimberly Steinhauer, President of Estill Voice International and creator of Estill Voiceprint, this session is designed for singers, teachers, clinicians, and voice professionals who want to understand how Estill Voice Training® and Estill Voiceprint work together in practice.
Estill Voice Training® gives us a shared technical language and precise control of vocal function. Estill Voiceprint™ adds a powerful layer of real-time visual feedback, allowing users to see what they are doing, confirm choices, and refine coordination with greater clarity and efficiency.
Through focused demonstrations and applied discussion, participants will explore how Voiceprint supports training and treatment across key Estill structures and qualities.
Whether you’ve ever asked “Was that right?”—or supported someone else asking it—this session will show how visual feedback can accelerate learning, support clinical insight, and deepen understanding of vocal function.
This event is ideal for anyone looking to integrate Estill Voice Training® with Estill Voiceprint™ in a clear, functional, and evidence-based way.
