KARAOKE TRACKS ARE A-DIME-A-DOZEN. YOU DESERVE ONE-OF-A-KIND.

Custom Song Arrangements & Orchestrations

Stop settling for generic karaoke tracks. At Tour de Fierce, Joseph Stanek creates bespoke arrangements crafted around your voice, your style, and your goals. Whether you’re prepping for an audition, performance, or recording, you’ll get music engineered to make you unforgettable.

What Is a Custom Song Arrangement?

Most singers only ever perform music the way it’s published—straight from the score, karaoke file, or a stock track you can buy online. The result ends up being a near replica of the original. But the world has already heard that version. Why would they care to hear another version of it?

 

A custom arrangement is different. It’s the art of reshaping a song to fit your voice, your strengths, and your story. That could mean adjusting the key, reimagining the harmonies, or designing a build that shows off your high notes at exactly the right moment. Instead of forcing yourself into the limits of what’s out there, the music is rebuilt around you.

What is Orchestration?

If arrangement is about tailoring a song to your artistry, orchestration is about transforming its sound. It’s assigning the right instruments, textures, and colors to bring the arrangement to life.

 

Think sweeping strings, shimmering harp, a cinematic brass swell, or even a stripped-down vibe with only acoustic guitar. This is what takes a song from “just another cover” to a fully-produced performance worthy of the stage or screen. When you hear one of my orchestrations, you’ll understand why my clients say it feels like their songs are just as good as (or better than) the songs they hear on their favorite movie soundtracks.

Why Invest in Custom Arrangement?

Stand out instantly. No more generic backing tracks—your performance will sound like no one else’s they've ever heard.

Level up auditions & competitions: Judges and directors notice when the music the singer instead of the other way around.

Create your signature sound: Whether you’re a recording artist, actor, or student, arrangements make your artistry unforgettable.

 

Industry-grade music: These orchestrations aren’t off-the-shelf—they’re crafted to the same standard I deliver for Broadway and international stars.

 

Limitless possibilities: From delicate piano + strings to a 30-piece cinematic orchestra, the sound is designed for your goals.

“Part of Your World” (Disney’s The Little Mermaid)

Excerpt – Pizzicato to Cinematic Swell
A playful pizzicato texture transforms a familiar verse with joy and lightness before shifting into a solemn, almost militaristic orchestration ("Bright young women, sick of swimmin', ready to stand. And ready to know...") that crescendos into a sweeping, cinematic swell — amplifying the deeper meaning of empowerment within the lyrics.

FAQ: Custom Song Arrangements and Orchestration

What’s the difference between an arrangement and orchestration?

An arrangement reshapes a song—changing the key, adjusting the structure, or reimagining the style—so it’s tailored to your voice. Orchestration takes that arrangement and assigns instruments, textures, and colors to bring it fully to life. Together, they transform a simple backing track into a performance-ready, one-of-a-kind piece of music.

Can I use these tracks for auditions or competitions?

Yes. Unlike generic backing tracks or karaoke files, your arrangement is custom-built for you. Every orchestration I deliver is performance-ready and polished for auditions, recitals, showcases, or competitions—so you stand out immediately.

Do I keep the rights to my arrangement?

Yes. You’ll own the finished track to rehearse and perform as often as you like. If you want to release your version commercially (Spotify, iTunes, etc.), we’ll just need to address licensing tied to the original song’s copyright.

What if I need changes after delivery?

Minor revisions are always included. If you decide you want a larger rework—like adding new sections or building a second orchestration—I’ll provide a custom quote based on the scope.

Can I add vocals to my orchestration?

Absolutely. Many singers pair their custom arrangement with Professional Vocal Recording or the Full Production Package so they walk away with a complete single. If you only need the orchestration, you’ll get a high-quality track you can sing with live.
