Find a New Way...

FROM THE EDITOR
Kimberly Steinhauer
I love the Martha Graham quote shared by this issue's Estill Spotlight: "Technique makes the impossible look easy." That sure sums up why a lot of us do Estill Voice Training. After learning the technical foundation of Estill--Figures for Voice <http://rs6.net/=> --Level One participants often remark "Wow, now it's much easier to sing my song or deliver my monologue!" Like scale repetition for the instrumentalist and skill drills for the athlete, the Figures for Voice inspire confidence and presence in the performer. At last, the artist feels free to express communicate without worries of voice breaks, running out of air, or losing power. And that freedom is priceless. Read in this issue to learn more about Estill Voice Training. Don't forget to check out our Estill Spotlight who shared that terrific quote!

<http://rs6.net/> The dynamics of an open hand and what does this have to do with Courses?

"Nothing" and "everything", of course! An exercise

Look down at your extended hand, palm side up. Make a fist. Release the fingers. Which condition would hold more sand? Which condition best represents your mind, your body, as you approach your Figure practice or your next course or lesson?

There is a lot of re-organizing to be done whenever we learn something new. Opening our minds is a prerequisite. Learning is an endless adventure with exciting new insights just around every conceptual corner. Training the body to implement a conceptual vision - such as a versatile voice - is also an adventure, a journey with its own ups and downs, rewards and disappointments. Read on... <http://rs6.net/>

<http://rs6.net/> Adjusting Voiceprint Colors - Dealing with Spectrogram Display Noise

The spectrum of every vocalization contains both harmonics and random noise. The harmonic components appear on the spectrogram display as the familiar ascending ladder of horizontal lines where each line represents an individual frequency harmonic. The frequency of the lowest harmonic (F0) is the pitch of the voice. These harmonics are, of course produced by the vibrations of the vocal folds and modified by the physical characteristics of the vocal pathway. Learn more... <http://rs6.net/>
