It’s hard for me to put into words how incredible Philip Pelkington truly is. Ever since I met him he has always done everything and anything to help his students, including myself with becoming better vocalists. Besides Philip Pelkington being a vocal coaching God… he is one of the most humble, generous, and greatest people you will ever meet. Every week I work with him my voice gets better and my range gets stronger. He wants/wishes the best for everyone of his students. Any vocal coach who flies 3,000 miles to LA to see you is definitely a keeper! Philip is more than just a coach, he’s family.

Protecting my voice is extremely important to me, especially because of the voiceover work I do. Philip Pelkington is an amazing teacher. With Philip Pelkington’s coaching, I have expanded my range and strengthened my mix, and have not had to worry about harming my voice. I love working with Philip Pelkington and can’t believe how much growth I have experienced, in my voice, style and confidence.

Philip Pelkington goes above and beyond to teach, prep and make sure that Jackson has every tool he needs to do his best vocal work. He has taken Jackson from zero to sixty in just a few short months, which has enabled him to compete with the best! We love working with Philip Pelkington and highly recommend him.

Philip Pelkington has been such a huge influence on me for the past few years I’ve been working with him. He has helped me to grow so much and learn to trust myself with songs and notes I didn’t even think I was remotely capable of singing. Through him, I have been introduced to so many amazing opportunities and I am so grateful to know and work with him.

Philip Pelkington is much more than my voice teacher, he is a mentor, and I consider him to be a part of my family. Philip makes each lesson not only challenging, but fun, after each session I can honestly say I learned something new. Philip puts so much time and thought into every song selection, and above all he values and respects my opinions. Philip’s love of teaching has enabled me to fall in love with music and singing all over again. Everyone should have someone like Philip Pelkington in their lives! I am lucky to say that Philip is a part of my world.

Philip Pelkington is technically brilliant and always goes the extra mile, but what really sets him apart is his deep and layered understanding of his students — with his golden nuggets of intuitive and pinpointed feedback he never fails to bring out the essence of both student and song.

Noah loves working with Philip. He has fun and looks forward to his lessons. We can really count on Philip when Noah has an important audition coming up. He has been instrumental in helping Noah get many callbacks. Philip has gone out of his way to give Noah a lesson when Noah gets an important audition, whether it’s in person or via Skype, we really feel so lucky that we have Philip on our team.

Philip is incredibly talented! He has helped me grow as a singer and has helped me gain confidence in the audition room and in performances. He absolutely knows the perfect songs for you to sing that are comfortable for you but still a little challenging. The best voice teacher I have ever had!

As an exceptional voice teacher and vocal coach, Philip challenges me to widen my vocal range and take risks with my character interpretation. Working with Philip for several years, I have seen how my voice has grown and matured, a testament to Philip’s expertise!

The improvement and growth in Ben’s vocal technique, range, control, and performance have been nothing short of amazing. Equally important, Philip Pelkington has been one of the professionals in Ben’s life who is clearly interested in what benefits and improves Ben, and not only protecting or furthering his own interests. Philip Pelkington has gone above and beyond, time and again, to guide, instruct, and encourage Ben to pursue his passion. I truly can’t say enough about Philip Pelkington’s knowledge, both of vocal technique and the industry in general, and his dedication to the success of his students.

Philip, having you as my vocal coach while my voice was changing was the best. You’re a great teacher who, even when I need some encouragement, has confidence in me and my abilities to push me on. Whether I was preparing for school performances or auditions, your dedication, expertise and enthusiasm is always there. You were an amazing help as I prepared for College auditions; my acceptance to Berklee College of Music is a reflection on how well you have taught me about vocals and stage presence.
