MUSICAL THEATRE VOCAL TRAINING FEATURES
Musical Theatre Vocal Training Methods That Actually Work—Because They Were Built on Broadway
Joseph Stanek’s approach to vocal coaching is grounded in decades of real-world experience onstage—and backstage—with Broadway’s most demanding vocal roles. This isn’t recycled pedagogy from a university classroom, and he's not out to steal your money like those online courses out there. With Joseph, you get a living, breathing system tailored to the unique demands of musical theatre singing: from golden-age legit to show-stopping belting to pop/rock contemporary scores. His Broadway coaching method adapts to the singer, the style, and the role, equipping performers with the stamina, style, and confidence they need to book roles and bring down the house.
Legit Technique that Books the Classics
Whether you're auditioning for The Pirates of Penzance, Chess, or Cinderella, Joseph’s coaching focuses your resonance, breath control, and stylistic accuracy without sacrificing emotional expression. Legit singing has come a long way in musical theatre, and Joseph knows today's standards like the back of his hand.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Smarter Belting that Slays
Look, we love Ethel Merman, but belting technique has improved tenfold since her days. Master the controlled, sustainable belt required for roles in shows like Wicked, Six, and Moulin Rouge. Joseph’s belting techniques help you find power and edge without tension, making 8-show weeks feel like a breeze—and standing ovations feel inevitable.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Contemporary Mix for Today’s Broadway
From Hamilton to Dear Evan Hansen to Floyd Collins, today’s musicals demand versatility, range, and style. Joseph helps singers build a mix that cuts through the acoustic and feels authentic, guiding you through phrasing, riffing, and character-driven vocal choices that make your performances truly stand out.

First, let's hear from the Queen herself (Kristin Chenoweth):
D., United States
"As someone who has explored many different subjects, I can confidently say this is the most fun I’ve ever had! Being super introverted, I’ve already noticed a boost in my confidence after just ONE session. Joseph is a stellar teacher with a clear love for what he does, he is 110% genuine and is passionate about helping his singers achieve their dreams. It took so many years of my life to take this first step and I have no regrets about choosing this path with Joseph leading the way. The road ahead looks truly beautiful!"

Y., Taiwan
"I was raised in a family where everyone told me how plain and talentless I am... And I believed them all these years. Meeting Joseph and working with him in voice lessons is the first moment I've ever considered the possibility that my life may be an extraordinary one."
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A., United States
"Joseph is professional, knowledgeable, funny, and he communicates in a way that makes sense. His attention to detail is impeccable! He showed me techniques that I’ve never heard of before and I’ve already put them into action with incredible results. I am super excited to see where he’s going to take my voice!!! I really felt like he listened to me... Listened to my voice and came up with an approach that was tailored just for me. HE IS AMAZING!"
