Why did you start studying?

“I started studying Estill Voice Training in September 2005 having previously received a more ‘traditional’ voice training. I was looking for a technique that could improve my personal understanding of the voice as well as providing more flexibility for my own voice and that of my students. I was delighted to find a technique that almost immediately opened both personal and teaching possibilities.”

What are you doing now?

“I am currently the Artistic Director at the Glasgow Acting Academy and a lecturer at Motherwell College (Europes first Estill Educational Affiliate). I also have an ever increasing number of private singing clients.”

Did you hit any problems?

“I over prepared for the anatomy, but hey – knowledge is never a bad thing and I can still talk at length about some of the more obscure facial muscles!”

What’s your top tip?

“Relax and enjoy the vocal freedom you’ll gain.”

Martin successfully completed the Pathway in October 2006 and became a Certified Master Teacher. He is currently Director of Glasgow Acting Academy and lectures at Motherwell College.
