The vocal coach in this video is Joan Lader. I first met Joan about one year into my Broadway run with “Movin’ Out”. I sang every song in that show and to be honest, I was in rough vocal shape. Joan Lader literally saved my voice and although I no longer live in New York, I still study with her over the Internet as well as whenever I’m in New York. I can tell you that there is no one better. There is no way I would’ve made it through the three year plus run with that show without Joan. I am forever grateful 🙏
This is a lovely tribute. I saw you in that show. I've often wondered how you did it. It was CRAZY in my opinion and you sounded amazing. I teach youth musical theatre in California and I have mentioned the superhuman feat you accomplished 8 TIMES A WEEK!!!!
It’s so incredible to get the chance to see theater professionals in action and for such beautifully produced videos of people with more years of experience than I’ve even lived to be available to everyone. Thank you so much.
These actors were amazing to listen to. But I was really impressed by the guy at 6:20, amazing voice! And the woman at 9:20 was amazing too, I remember learning that warm up in musical theatre too. It's a pretty fun warm up 😄
I like how she knows exactly what she's talking about when she's training the actor's voice. When she's talking about the voice of a person she goes into full description on what she's talking about and it helps me understand whats happening in the video. The singers in the video help with my point when they feel like their voices improve based off her training and thats something I admire.
I'm a vocal soloist and coach as well, and im VERY glad I came across this video. Joan Lader appears to be a great teacher with some very useful techniques, exercises, and holistic approaches to developing the singing voice. I am definitely adding some of these warm ups to me, and my students daily vocal warm up routine!!
Great video. Reminds me of my NYC days with fondness & appreciation, and supports some of my teaching here in Fort Collins, CO. Plus, I'm reminded of some stuff!!!
Always a plus to hear some adam guettel when you're not expecting it. I wonder would a theatre vocal coach use their time on a beginner who's not planning to perform? I love learning and the technique side would be fascinating... What was mcelroy singing?
Oh, dear. If you are getting sore, please find yourself a qualified teacher. That shouldn't happen. You could feel fatigued, but you shouldn't feel sore.
I wonder if he was on the floor to be able to get used to singing while being in different bodily positions while still supporting with the diaphragm or to feel vibrations thru the floor
This is the lady who warmed up Sutton Foster OVER PHONE when she was freaking out before performing “Gimme Gimme” on Television!!
She is a LEGEND!!

Like to be better in my vocal cords
I would love to be taught by her! Any advise on how I can contact Joan?
I appreciate how she combines her knowledge of singing with human anatomy to teach her students.

Raúl Esparza AND Renée Elise Goldsberry?! Awesome.
Love Joan beyond words.
break a leg with Shrek!
I love seeing the training and warming up and with Raúl Esparza who has such a glorious voice!!!!
I audited a masterclass with Joan today and I’m over the moon. She’s absolutely fantastic.

I think the lady is Renee Goldsberry she was Angelica in Hamilton but she’s an amazing performer.
Kudos to NATS member Joan Lader, one of the best voice coaches in the theater field.
Literally 4 broadway legends
Love to watch Raul rehearse love his voice voice and smile

wow. so helpful. love this episode.
13:21, I used that method in choir a lot! It helps with breath support and clarity
I love how you were able to see the different techniques the vocal coach used with the people she brought in :)
When Renee Elise Goldsberry leaves and Annaleigh Ashford walks in
Great video. Reminds me of my NYC days with fondness & appreciation, and supports some of my teaching here in Fort Collins, CO. Plus, I'm reminded of some stuff!!!
Oh and BTW, very humbling. What an excellent teacher!
Fascinating!
Great video... a great coach!

What was mcelroy singing?
Fantastic. I hate doing all these exercises myself. They are no fun and actually you leave quite sore after doing them!!!
Oh, dear. If you are getting sore, please find yourself a qualified teacher. That shouldn't happen. You could feel fatigued, but you shouldn't feel sore.
If you’re doing them correctly, you won’t feel sore.
No it depends who you go too . i took vocal lessons back in the summer 1999 . That don't happen
