"In 20 Years I've Never Had A Teacher Approach Singing Like Per Does"

Oh my goodness, I am so beyond grateful for this program. I literally only started yesterday and it's already rocker my world. I had a 4 hour jazz gig last night and had more freedom in my scatting and endurance through the gig. I've studied voice for almost 20 years but have never had a teacher approach singing like Per does. THANK YOU!

"I Knew There Was More Within Me!"

I love what you offer. It's what I've been waiting for. Even though I have worked and been paid for my music, I knew there was more within me! My project this winter was to record a song I had written with an opera singer from the 70’s, and gift it to the lady who had inspired the song on her 80th birthday. Right away I saw the results. I even had to learn the opera singers part (harmony) and it all worked out thanks to your lessons……

"A New Instrument Of Music That I Can Play"

After 1st lesson: “Wow … I gotta comment .. This is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME !!! Oh yes – so much more than just singing … Thank you !!!”

"Truly Enjoyable And A Revelation"

I am an Indian Classical Musician performing for over 20 years and it's been a great experience going through your lessons. It is interesting to see how I can adapt your technique to our kind of music. I did some of your voice exercises before a concert and it was really amazing. Your lessons are truly enjoyable and a revelation. It was the perfect warm up.

"I Have Found My One True Voice!"

I have studied with some of the most well-known vocal instructors in Los Angeles, but NO ONE compares to Per's tapestry of training tools in vocal pedagogy. With Per's freeing approach and compassion, I have found my one true voice and I am seeing the results in my professional singing career. He is not only the ‘Buddha of the Voice', he is without a doubt Los Angeles' most extraordinary vocal coach.

"I Love Performing On Stage Now"

I really didn't know what to expect from your coaching and didn't believe that coaching through DVDs can really make a difference. But I am living proof that it does!!!
First of all, I realized that I needed a lot of breath to sing. At the same time, my range was very very limited. All in all, I was doing everything wrong!…..

"You Saved My Shows"

I just recently finished a tour in Asia and the Middle-East. Before that, I could only sing a couple of nights a week and would always need a few days to recover because I barely had a voice. Singing cover tunes by Whitney Houston, Kelly Clarkson, Aretha Franklin, and other power songs can really take its toll on your voice if you're singing the way I was singing.

I am a singer-songwriter currently performing lots around London.

"After Only 5 Minutes Of Your First Lesson"

Thanks for sharing your principles about singing. I have taken voice lessons for a year now, and after only 5 minutes of your first lesson a lot of things fell into place. After finishing the first lesson I had so much fun that I had to write to you. I know that a lot of my surroundings will smile and think that I am crazy, going around tilting my head back and forth (I will probably also smile at it), but I know that I one day will smile back at them, after a great performance. I will always appreciate what you have done.
