The Estill Model

The Estill Model is a framework for understanding how the human voice works. It breaks down singing and speaking into different components, such as the structures we use (like the vocal folds and tongue) and the way we control them (through muscle action and breath). This model helps singers and speakers develop better control and expression by focusing on specific aspects of voice production. It emphasizes that improving voice quality requires understanding both the physical mechanisms and the emotional expression involved in vocalization. Overall, it's a guide for anyone looking to enhance their vocal skills.
