“The most powerful singers aren’t the ones who’ve sung the longest. They’re the ones who’ve lived the deepest.”
-Joseph Stanek

LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD
Singing Lessons for Adults: You're Right on Time
You don’t need a childhood full of recitals or years of formal training to be a powerful singer—you just need a voice and the desire to use it.
At Joseph Stanek’s private voice studio, singing lessons for adults aren’t treated like a backup plan or a bucket list item. They’re a bold next step. Whether you’ve never sung a note or you’re picking it back up after decades away, your timing right now is perfect. Why? Because your life—every heartbreak, triumph, pivot, loss, and victory—has already made you a more honest, emotionally connected human and artist. And that’s something no technique can ever teach.

YOU'VE ALREADY DONE THE HARDEST PART
You're Not Behind: You're Built for This
Most voice studios treat adults like they’re playing catch-up. Not here. At Tour de Fierce, adult singers have something it'll take all the other new singers years to earn for themselves: life experience.
When you’ve really experienced love, heartbreak, failure, joy—and survived to tell about it—you don’t need to “act” the song: you are the story. That kind of emotional, visceral storytelling is magnetic, and it’s exactly what makes an audience stop breathing and really listen.
You're not late to the party.
You’re the one we’ve been waiting to hear.
TRANSFORMATIVE STORIES FROM JOSEPH'S SINGERS
Testimonials from Tour de Fierce's Adult Singers
To kick things off in the testimonials from adults section, here's an Instagram post from EMMY® and TONY® Award-winning singer and actress Kristin Chenoweth:
Kristin Chenoweth (@kchenoweth)
"I glitterally can't imagine my life without @sephstanek. Working with you has been the greatest gift—I count my lucky stars to have someone as talented, insightful, and compassionate as you in my corner. Your energy is infectious, your heart is pure gold, and your genius is unmatched. Simply put, you are an extraordinary human being, and I am beyond grateful for you every single day. Thank you for everything—you are IT."
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!"
-E., Canada
"At my age, I thought the window had closed on my dreams of singing. There are all these kids getting famous from social media, and it's 'out with the old' before you know it. But after two lessons with you, I'm discovering parts of myself that I never knew existed before. It's proof-it's never too late to chase your dreams."

FAQs: Singing Lessons for Adults
What styles of music can I sing in lessons?
You can sing whatever you'd like to sing! Musical theatre, pop, rock, classical, jazz, worship—you choose. Lessons are personalized to your taste and voice.
How often should I take lessons as an adult?
Most students take one 60-minute voice lesson per week. But Joseph will work with your schedule and goals to find a rhythm that fits your life.
What if I’m shy or nervous to sing in front of someone?
Being nervous to sing in front of someone is completely normal—and extremely common. Joseph’s coaching style is warm, encouraging, and designed to build your confidence from day one.
I’ve never sung before. Can I still take lessons?
Yes! Many of Joseph’s adult students are complete beginners. You’ll learn vocal technique step-by-step in a fun, supportive, no-judgment environment built just for adults.
Am I too old to start singing lessons?
Absolutely not. No one is ever too old to be heard. Your age is your strength. Adult singers have emotional maturity and focus that younger students often don’t—making progress immediate and more fulfilling.
