Hi! I’m Illona, a Filipino voice coach and singer with over two decades of singing experience. I help you understand your voice and build healthy technique in a space where you can ask questions and make mistakes.
I know how it feels to struggle with singing. In music college, I needed more time to learn than my classmates. That experience shapes how I teach: we start where you are and grow at your pace.
Voice coaching in Quezon City and online across Manila, the Philippines, and beyond.
I began vocal training at six. 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 entered music college without a background in music theory or classical singing. Delays and discouragement made me question whether music was for me. I kept practicing, learned to accept my own pace, and graduated with highest honors.
Alongside voice coaching, I sing, write songs, lead worship, and conduct choirs. I bring that experience to lessons for beginners, returning singers, and students preparing to perform.

“She is gentle when pointing out my mistakes”

“She explained every exercise clearly”

“She's competent and encouraging!”

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 and confidently sing the music I need and want to know while giving encouragement in the most crucial point in a singer's life. She was there to support me, no matter how my voice felt during those sessions — and she helped me feel better about myself no matter what the state of my voice is. 'One step at a time' will forever be my motto because of her. 🙂 If you're looking for a true companion in music and in faith, Coach Illona is perfect for you. She brings so much knowledge and positivity to her sessions… which is what every growing musician needs. 🙂

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. I literally forgot how to control my voice and carry a tune - something I used to do so naturally. I stopped singing completely and fell into depression. Last year, I was just scrolling on Facebook when I found Coach Illona's page. Something clicked, and I thought maybe it was time to get my voice back. Reaching out to her was the best move I made. I had no idea I was doing so many things wrong with my singing before. Coach Illona showed me the right exercises and techniques, and she never got frustrated when I got discouraged about missing notes. I'm actually singing again now, and it feels great. Thank you so much, Coach Illona! ❤️

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! 🥰 Enrolling in her coaching didn't just improve my singing, it completely changed the way I see myself as a worship leader. Now, standing in front of an audience feels empowering, and my confidence has skyrocketed! But Coach Illona didn't just teach me how to sing, she taught me how to believe in myself, to embrace growth, and to trust the process, one step at a time. ✨ She's more than just a vocal coach; she's a mentor, a motivator, and an instrument of inspiration. Coach Illona, may God continue to bless you and your dreams! Thank you for not only teaching me the technical side of singing but also for helping me find my voice in more ways than one. ❤️🎶

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. She always asks me for my feedback and she's always open to adjusting her teaching style to help me learn and grow. It really shows how invested she is in her students' success, and I appreciate that so much. Thank you for believing in me and helping me grow as a singer, Coach Illona. ❤

Coach Illona's voice lessons really helped me improve my singing skills! I was really shy when I first enrolled in Coach Illona's voice lessons. I sang, as if I was mumbling the words. When I got to know about the techniques that she taught me, I began improving, slowly but surely. She is gentle when pointing out my mistakes, and that is one of my favorite things about her! She is generous with sharing her techniques and she is thoughtful to her students, as well!

Thank you, Coach Illona, from me and Jaimie! In 2024, my daughter and I searched for a voice coach online because of how much she loves to sing. Out of the many coaches we came across, she was instantly drawn to Coach Illona. We decided to give it a try and it turned out to be a very good decision! Both Coach's online and face-to-face classes are highly effective, though our daughter especially loves learning from her in person. Coach Illona's instructions are always clear, and her own voice is stunning to say the least. She even created a demo of a song our daughter wanted to sing, and I love it so much that it's been on my playlist ever since.😃 Beyond her amazing talent, what we appreciate most is her patience and organization. She carefully tracks progress, assignments, and attendance, keeping everything structured and transparent. She also has a way with kids that make teaching the vocal techniques really enjoyable. And it's clear how much she genuinely cares about her students. Her classes are definitely highly recommended! Thank you, Coach!!!!

Coach Illona is an exceptional voice coach! She's competent and encouraging! I highly recommend her to those who are looking for someone who can help them improve and enjoy learning at the same time!

I love Illona's services! 😌 She's a very knowledgeable coach and generous with her expertise. She adapts to her students' comfort levels while also ensuring they experience growth. I learned a lot from her because she was professional and made me feel at ease. Even though I was an awkward person who tended to play around with vocal warm-ups, she was patient and guided me toward achieving my personal (but reasonable) singing goals. 🎤 She explained every exercise clearly and gave me assignments I could revisit to ensure consistent growth even after my sessions with her. Although I initially enrolled just for fun and didn't pursue singing in a professional capacity, I learned more than I expected and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to improve their singing skills! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Cianna is learning singing concepts without even realizing that she's being taught. That's why, even if it takes some travel time, we still go to Coach Illona's studio. Thank you, Teacher Illona — your teaching method for children is truly superb! Cia is always happy and excited about the playful warm-ups. 🥰🎤🎵🎶

Ali has improved so much! She's now singing confidently and with heart. Her voice lessons with you have already made such a great impact on her, even if she's only had 2 sessions with you. Before, it was like she was just whispering when she sang. Thank you, Coach!

Thank you so much, Coach! I've improved so much in such a short time with your coaching and support. You're the best voice teacher I've ever had! ❤️️
Huge vouch for Coach Illona! I had 10 sessions with her, and they not only helped my singing but also boosted my confidence in front of the camera. ❤️
Coach Illona's structured, knowledgeable, and highly technical teaching fixed my tone-deafness, tailoring lessons to my level and building confidence. Highly recommended!

Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the patience and effort you've put into helping Jana. She's come such a long way, and we're super proud of how much she's improved! That piece isn't easy—especially since Tagalog isn't her strong suit—but you made it work. We really appreciate everything you've done to guide and support her. You're awesome!
Thank You, coach! Khelsey has improved so much in singing when she started doing voice lessons with you! ❤️

Grabe, Luna can't stop talking about you! She's so amazed by your voice when you sang 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow.' She said her coach is so beautiful ☺️ I'm so happy to have you as Luna's vocal coach! 💗
