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.

Reviews
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!
Working with Philip was a great experience! He truly understood my goals and worked with me to get the best results in the allotted time. He knows what he’s talking about, would highly recommend.
Philip is responsive and professional. Great communication and things are going very well.
I had my first lesson today with Phil and I was very pleased . I’ve had no formal training and was nervous , but he made me feel comfortable. I look forward to working with him again!
Philip is Wonderful! He pays real attention to your instrument, focusing on the gaps and helping you achieve your goals. I feel a very calm and relaxed atmosphere when we are working together. He’s reliable patient and can play the piano! Highly recommend him.
