Abstract

Classical and contemporary commercial music singers have a different model of the sound of their voices. Significant progress has been made in the field of voice science in recent decades. Anatomy, physiology, acoustics and awareness of muscle work helps in planning training and influences sound strategy and vocal style. The article characterises the Estill Voice Training model and uses the original method of using Estill Voice Training in working with a classical singer who is intended to produce a sound characteristic of contemporary commercial music.
