Estill Voice Training® Advanced Course

Tampere, Finland | June 10–12, 2027

Join us for the Estill Voice Training® Advanced Course in Tampere, Finland, June 10–12, 2027, taught by two highly experienced Estill educators and Estill Mentor & Course Instructors (EMCIs): Dorte Hyldstrup, EMCI-ATP-SD, and Antti Annola, EMCI.

The course is taught in English, with Finnish support available upon request.

Designed for participants who have completed Estill Voice Training® Level 1 & 2, this three-day course begins with a concise review of Figures for Voice and Six Voice Qualities™ (Speech, Falsetto, Sob/Cry, Twang, Belting, Opera) before exploring Voice Quality variations and permutations in greater depth.

Through practical exercises, listening analysis, and exploring different voice qualities in different musical styles, participants will deepen their understanding of how the Estill Model can be applied to create authentic stylistic choices while maintaining efficient and healthy voice production. The course also provides voice teachers and coaches with practical tools for analysing vocal challenges and choosing targeted strategies to help students reach their artistic and technical goals.

The course concludes with an Open Session, where participants can apply the concepts to their own singing and voice teaching. Participants wishing to sing may bring either a backing track/karaoke or sheet music with chord symbols if accompaniment is desired.
