The University of Central Florida 麻豆精品 S檚 Department of Theatre recently was accredited as just the third educational affiliate of Estill Voice International, a study and training program that develops vocal skills.
Educational affiliates have at least two faculty members who are certified as course instructors. At UCF, professor Steven R. Chicurel is a certified course instructor and assistant professor Tara Snyder is a certified master teacher.聽
The training program helps singers and speakers find a full range of expression in their voices, while promoting healthy vocal habits. The program was formalized in 1988 by Jo Estill, a classical opera singer who went on to research voice science.
