“The singer is the instrument and yet they play the instrument. It’s a three part system. There’s the respiratory, which has to do with inhalation and exhalation. The source is where the sound is made. The filter is the vocal tract and if the body is not working optimally, you’re not going to be able to produce sound safely.” - Joan Lader
2016 Tony Award Honoree Joan Lader is a legend to those who know her and those yet to know her. As one of the most esteemed vocal coaches in the business, Joan has worked with talent of all kinds to help them with both exploring and training of their respiratory and vocal tracts and guiding performers to find the best methods in achieving ultimate sound quality and type. Watch as she works with her clients Tony winners Renée Elise Goldsberry, Annaleigh Ashford, and Tony Nominees Michael McElroy and Raúl Esparza.

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!!
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!!!!
Like to be better in my vocal cords
I would love to be taught by her! Any advise on how I can contact Joan?
Raúl Esparza AND Renée Elise Goldsberry?! Awesome.
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.
I appreciate how she combines her knowledge of singing with human anatomy to teach her students.
When Renee Elise Goldsberry leaves and Annaleigh Ashford walks in
Literally 4 broadway legends
I audited a masterclass with Joan today and I’m over the moon. She’s absolutely fantastic.
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!!!!
Kudos to NATS member Joan Lader, one of the best voice coaches in the theater field.
Love to watch Raul rehearse love his voice voice and smile
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 think the lady is Renee Goldsberry she was Angelica in Hamilton but she’s an amazing performer.
the guy is Michael McElroy!
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.
wow. so helpful. love this episode.
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!!
Oh and BTW, very humbling. What an excellent teacher!
I love how you were able to see the different techniques the vocal coach used with the people she brought in :)
13:21, I used that method in choir a lot! It helps with breath support and clarity
Fascinating!
Great video... a great coach!
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!!!
Thanks for sharing!
who else came here thirsting for Raúl
Look at all her famous clientele wow...just goes to show how amazing she is
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?
She must drive her neighbors crazy!
C L That was the first thing that poppen into my mind when i saw that guy open the door.
Raúl!!!
ELISE!!
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
Im no theatre actor but i like to try it for myself any way in comes in handy just in case
Michael
Michael McElroy!!!!
Estill Voice Training :)
the beginning just reminds me of alexander technique :')
I can't even believe Renee
Is this the DA from Law and Order:SVU?!?!
Yep...the one and only.
Oof this is another reminder on how I can't sing to save my life lol
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
Fascinating!
