About Philip Skinner, Singing Voice Specialist

With a command of biomechanics and acoustics of vocal production I aim to help students along a path toward functional, effortless and lasting technique. "Technique" can sound scary but I love helping students understand their voice so that they can clearly communicate as an artist! I am jazzed about a holistic approach to performing which is why I incorporate functional breathing and brain-body connection techniques into my sessions for deeper discovery. Certifications & Areas of Study: Vocal Pedagogy | New York University Vocology | NYU Langone Medical Center Functional Breathing Instructor | Oxygen Advantage Walt Fritz | Manual Therapy for Voice and Swallowing Disorders Here's my bio: Philip Skinner has completed extensive training in vocal pedagogy and vocology at New York University with NYU Langone Medical Center and remains active as a flexible performer of classical, CCM and theater music. He has performed at such venues as Rockwood Music Hall, The Duplex Cabaret Theater and Gotham Hall in New York City as well as being a collaborator and back up vocalist for Grammy nominated artist Chandrika Tandon. Some of his favorite music theater roles include Insomina (Dan) at the Workshop Theater, A Funny Thing Happened…(Hysterium) for LOOK musical theater, Mary Poppins (Von Hussler and dance ensemble) for Reagle Music Theater and The Drowsy Chaperone (Robert Martin). He has served as a cantor at Church of the Holy Innocents in midtown Manhattan and is experienced in singing chant and liturgical music. In addition to his private studio he has taught at such places as NYU as adjunct professor of voice, Professional Youth Theater and Musical Arts Center of San Antonio. He currently serves as a Singing Voice Specialist in collaboration with Weill Cornell Medical Center, Mount Sinai Voice Clinic and other area otolaryngologists and SLPs.

I’ve just started working with Philip but what I appreciate about him is that he helps me understand the technical nature of voice. His exercises are challenging but fun and he’s very supportive! Can’t wait to continue building with him and learning to make my Broadway dreams come true!
