History: Charlotte suffered from a very breathy and weak voice, caused by pulling down head voice. This resulted very quiet, often inaudible singing in all areas of her voice.
Result: Charlotte has gained considerably more power in a healthy and well balanced "mix". Her vocal range now spans over 4 octaves and her voice is free to sing in the musical styles she wishes to sing. She also now has a brilliantly bright tone in the upper parts of her voice.

Name:Hannah El-Ayadi (15yrs)
History: Prior to lessons with Martin, Hannah was a typical musical theatre "chest puller" who constantly suffered sore throats, horseness and complete loss of voice. Losing her voice was the primary reason for seeking singing lessons.
Result: Hannah has not lost her voice in over a year since she started taking lessons with Martin, and is now singing free of strain and pull, but with more power and intensity. Her vocal range and power is immense and it is only a matter of time until she experiences considerable success with her singing.

Name:Holly-Anne Hull (13yrs)
History: Holly-Anne came to Martin for lessons after developing pre-nodules, caused by belting and putting excessive strain on the vocal cords. Holly had a problem with abusing vowels, resulting in a tendancy to flip. Her useable vocal register was less than 1.5 octaves!
Result: 6 months after commencing lessons with Martin, Holly won a recording contract with Walt Disney. Holly-Anne is now healthy, does not suffer sore throats, has increased her vocal range by more than 2.5 octaves and has a wonderfully smooth and well connected voice. Her vocal range and power is now enormous, spamming around 4 octaves.

AFTER:
Name:Emma Lucy (12yrs)
History: Emma used to feel "pain" when singing! Complaining that whenever she sang in a strong (chest) voice, it would hurt her throat and she didn't enjoy singing anymore. She had a tendancy to flip due to her "pulling up" of her chest voice and singing with excessivley wide vowels, this resulted in a very weak and breathy higher register.
Result: Emma now experiences no pain when singing and is totally free of strain. She has added over 2.5 octaves to her range which now spans just just under 4 octaves! The before and after clips below show a dramatic improvement.
