About Anne

I hold certifications in Estill Voice Craft-a voice science-based approach to all styles of singing. In addition, I have a certification in Somatic Voicework: The LoVetri Method ™

Have you ever wondered how the voice works? Why can we make a variety of sounds, both in singing and in speech? What about people who do cartoon voices? A very curious classical singer, named Jo Estill wondered about this, too. After many years of voice lessons no one could answer these questions, so she decided to start investigating for herself. She started with an x-ray of her larynx while singing different sound qualities. She discovered that the vocal instrument took on different positions for different qualities of tone. She thought about it and began to wonder if each component of the vocal instrument could be moved in isolation and she set forth to develop an approach to singing based on scientific principles. Thus started a 30+ year quest to discover a way to train the muscles of the larynx and mouth.

The study of Estill Voice Craft begins with learning the anatomy and physiology of the larynx, the mouth, pharynx, head, neck and torso. As you learn this, you will also explore the variety of positions each area can assume and how it effects the tone. These positions came to be called “Compulsory Figures For Voice Control.” Jo based her concept on how ice skaters and gymnasts must learn certain specific moves which are then grouped to create a routine.

In Level One, you learn to control the structures of the larynx, the vocal tract and the support structures, one at a time, in order to develop muscle memory and the ability to change postures at will. This is the Craft.

In Level Two, these elements of voice control are pieced together to form 6 different basic voice qualities: Speech/modal, falsetto, sob, nasal and oral twang, opera and belt. It takes time and lots of practice to become proficient in Estill Voice Craft but once you have it programmed into muscle memory, you have access to many different vocal styles and tone color. Then Artistry can begin and eventually, Performance Magic!!

I am also certified in Somatic Voicework (tm) The LoVetri Method for CCM (Contemporary Commercial Music.)

My acting experience also informs my teaching to help the student bring a song to life.

I continue to study voice pedagogy by attending workshops, taking online courses, etc.

Seeing my students progress, is my greatest joy.

I was lucky to have my university voice teacher's support. He invited me to take part in judging competitions at the university. For the first 27 years of teaching, I taught strictly classical technique. Then I heard about Jo Estill and her amazing technique based on science and vocal anatomy. For the first time in my life, this lyric soprano belted "Rose's Turn" from GYPSY! I had no repercussions from that. I tend to teach eclectically based on what I hear working in the students..

I begin with an interview/audition/mini-lesson to assess the needs of the prospective student. We get a chance to test our compatibility at this mini-lesson. We also determine short and long-term goals. Why do they want to study singing? Madrigals, School Musical, preparation for college auditions, or auditions in general? Or just for fun!

A majority of my students have been high school students who wanted to be in madrigals or the school musical. One student eventually became a member of the Chicago Lyric Opera. Another eventually started her own company. In recent years, I have discovered the joy of teaching children.

This is a personal event from 20 years ago. I was cast as the Mother Abbess in a Dinner Theater production of The Sound of Music. On closing night, I sang Climb Every Mountain and received a standing ovation, not only from the audience but from my fellow cast members whose collective jaws seemed to be touching the floor.
