Bit about me. My name is Phill, I am a singing teacher at the RCS and a soft tissue specialist for Bird College in London. I also work as a singing teacher for Hamilton Theatre Arts and iNTER in Glasgow.

I have 25 years experience and work with a range of clients: People auditioning for colleges, people at college and professionals.

I am originally from Ayr but have recently moved back up from London where I lived and worked for 20 years.
