Introduction
Established in 1998, Performers Career Center is an NYC-based music program providing online and in-person classes, workshops, events and professional development resources for current and aspiring singers, instrumentalists, actors, songwriters, musicians and stage performers. Our program is overseen by renowned Voice Physiologist Patrick Michael Wickham, whose combined medical and advanced singing backgrounds at top institutions (Vanderbilt, Juilliard, MSM, Columbia et. al.) have helped create the renowned VOCAL INTEGRATION(R) technique. This unique functional method combines aspects of classical voice training with kinesiology, contemporary techniques, and functional science-based therapy to allow students of all levels to push far past the limitations of "talent" and online training. Our esteemed faculty members have included: Billy Porter, David Sabella, Michael Weyandt and Jonathan Price who have helped over 4,000 high-level singers push beyond their perceived potentials. For advanced applicants, we also offer a unique one-stop-shop ARTIST DEVELOPMENT program that includes professional-level training in > SONGWRITING/THEORY | LYRIC-WRITING | COMPOSITION > PIANO and APPLIED INSTRUMENTS > BASIC AUDIO PRODUCTION > VOCAL PERFORMANCE and ACTING for SONG For New York-based students we also offer many open-mic events over the year, two concert GALAS (one in December and one in June), and weekly SALONS to test out your songs. But more than the superior technical and functional training PCC provides, we have had our most-significant successes in the lives that we have changed, careers forged and TANGIBLE results we've achieved through our students. Our goal is to ensure every client gets an experience worth far more than the tuition they pay. We see every client as a puzzle to be unlocked... not merely their voice, but their entire self-perception: not to just the way someone "sounds" but to unlock the way they LIVE.

Patrick is an amazing teacher, one who gave me the confidence to continue with singing after I'd worked at it on my own for years. Taking the Vocal Assessment showed me specifically where I needed work, after which targeted exercises have helped me to improve in those areas. Since last winter, my friends have acknowledged a noticeable uptick in my performances, which I attribute in large part to Patrick's teaching and guidance. Beyond exercises for my voice, he's also been a friend and challenged me to define my expectations as a vocalist. Everyone interested in improving their voice, even if only through the Assessment, should take lessons here!!

I've been studying Vocal Integration with Patrick since April, 2013. Patrick is incredibly knowledgeable about the physical terrain of the human voice and provides just the right ype of exercises to develop the best sound. As with anything in life, you must put forth the effort. He will guide you down the right path and provide excellent encouragement and advice, but you will get out of the experience in proportion to what you put into it. On a less technical note, Patrick is a huge personality and a lot of fun. I always look forward to my lessons! I can't imagine studying voice with anyone else. It is hard to imagine that anyone else could have provided the same level of results that I've experienced. He's fabulous.

I had a great experience with Wickham Vocal Studios. I have taken vocal lessons more than 10 years, but the six months I only took lessons with Patrick, changed everything. He trained my life style, my body, my mind as a professional singer. That means a lot to me. Also they have a wonderful singing boot camp every Saturday. The teacher is very knowledgeable too! He teaches you about your body, your ears. It's very helpful when you sing. You can take the wonderful class for free if you are a student of them. I really wanna keep continue to work with them, unfortunately I have to move other state. But I'll definitely go back to the school when I come back to NY!!
