IT’S TIME TO UNLEASH YOUR POTENTIAL IN SINGING ONE STEP AT A TIME, ONE NOTE AT A TIME!

Hi! I'm Coach Illona

A Filipino vocal coach, mindset coach, singer, worship leader, choir conductress, song-writer, and your new friend.

Hi, I'm Coach Illona!

I help individuals of all ages around the world who are passionate about improving their singing by creating a safe space where they can overcome their limiting beliefs and improve at their own pace.

THE VIBE HERE

Welcome to a space where learning to sing is sure, simple, fun, and never rushed — because I believe that growth happens at our own pace.

OVERCOME your limiting beliefs in singing!

I don’t have talent, so I can’t sing

I’ll never learn or improve in singing

Our sessions help reduce stress and anxiety, promoting relaxation and mental clarity.

I’m too old to learn how to sing

I haven’t been singing for a long time, I can’t sing anymore.

SINGING is a SKILL

Most people think singing is only for those who were born with talent — but that’s not true, because SINGING IS A SKILL! This means it can be learned and developed with proper training, determination, and diligent practice, just like learning to dance, drive, or speak a new language.

Singing is for anyone who is truly willing and passionate to learn and improve. Yes, talent can help, but it’s not a requirement to learn how to sing. Ultimately, it’s the willingness to learn and grow that makes the real difference.

Coach Illona

I am a professional singer, vocal coach, mindset coach, choir conductress, songwriter, and worship leader with over two decades of singing experience. I studied AB Theology, major in Church Music Education with a focus on Voice, at FEBIAS College of Bible, and Christian Music at the COP School of Christian Music Arts. I started my vocal training at the age of six and eventually pursued my passion for music and singing in college.

Studying music in college wasn’t a smooth-sailing journey for me. I faced many delays due to unfortunate circumstances and struggled with discouragement because I started music completely from scratch. Without any background in music theory or classical singing, learning felt especially difficult, and I often found it hard to keep up with my classmates. There were moments when I honestly thought music just wasn’t meant for me.

But my passion and determination to grow in music pushed me to persevere. Even if what others learned in a day would take me a week, I kept going. I learned to embrace my own pace while always giving my best. Against all odds, I moved forward and eventually graduated with the highest honors in college.

My music journey shaped my mission as a vocal coach: to help passionate aspiring singers around the world learn and improve their singing one step at a time, because growth happens at their own pace. For me, slow progress is still progress. I now support hundreds of aspiring singers worldwide in overcoming their limiting beliefs, believing that with hard work and true determination, anyone can achieve their goals.

Testimonials

Zachary Calina

Every child singer knows how it’s like to go through puberty. That sudden drop in your voice is a really hard thing to get used to, to the point that some voice teachers recommend kids to stop singing during the change. Not Coach Illona. She helped me learn...

Ji Kang

Singing runs in my family, and like most Filipinos, I've been doing it since I was little. But a few years back, I got overwhelmed with work and everything that happened before COVID...

Chloe Moore

Before I met Coach Illona, stepping onto a stage felt like stepping into a lion’s den, terrifying! I had little to no confidence in my singing. To me, as long as I could pronounce the words and produce a tune, I thought that was enough. But wow, was I in for a transformation...

Jane White

Coach Illona has been more than just a voice coach to me. She’s a mentor, friend, and a constant source of encouragement. Her guidance and support mean the world to me, and I'm so grateful to have her as my voice coach...
