״If I cannot fly, let me sing."
- Stephen Sondheim
Hi, I'm Joseph Stanek.
I am driven by the beauty of potential—the idea that within every person lies untold stories, unexpressed talents, and unrealized greatness. My dreams came true when I was 23, and now my dream is to help others discover greatness within themselves, to show them what’s possible, and to empower them to bring their dreams to life.
To me, there’s nothing more fulfilling in the whole world than witnessing someone discovering that magic and stepping into a version of themselves they never thought was possible.

So, I took a chance on myself by signing up for online voice lessons with Joseph Stanek, and what I got in return is nothing short of a miracle. Pretty much right off the bat, he honed in on an emotional block I was mostly unaware of, something buried deep in my past that had been holding me back not just in singing, but in life.
Joseph has this uncanny ability to see beyond the notes and technique, diving straight into the core of what makes you you. In my case, it meant confronting emotions I’d avoided for years—grief, fear, and even the shame of feeling like I wasn’t good enough to pursue something I loved. His compassion, combined with his unwavering commitment to helping his students grow, created a safe space for me to explore not just my voice, but my vulnerabilities.
Through tailored exercises, gentle but honest feedback, and an approach that felt both deeply personal and profoundly professional, Joseph guided me to a breakthrough I didn’t even know I needed. Suddenly, I wasn’t just singing—I was connecting. To myself. To the music. To my emotions.
It hasn’t just changed the way I sing; it’s changed the way I live. I feel lighter, freer, and more authentic in every area of my life. If you’re considering lessons with Joseph, don’t hesitate. What he offers goes beyond vocal coaching—it’s a transformational experience that could open doors you never even knew were closed.
