EXPERT QUALIFIED VOICE CRAFT BASED ON MODERN SCIENCE
About My Voice Gym
We are voice mechanics. Based on 40+ years of research and a scientific model of the human instrument (Titze, Sundberg, Estill), we assist clients in training vocal technique as well as preventive voice training and recovery from vocal fatigue, injury or surgery in collaboration with Australia's leading speech pathologists and laryngologists.
Additionally we have a vast professional experience across all genres (see our short CVs below) and have also a recording studio in house to accommodate any recording needs.

About Estill
Estill is an innovative system for developing masterful control of the human voice. It offers a clear and concise vocabulary for describing what voices can do and powerful exercises that allow voices to realize their full potential – be it for better speaking or for better singing. Estill Voice Training™ grew out of ground-breaking research into singing. Estill voice training teaches independent control over 13 parts of the vocal mechanism. The aim is to be aesthetically free and vocally safe across ALL genres.
