Joey is the best there is. I came to Joey at the recommendation of a friend [who] gushed about the progress they made in one lesson… After one lesson, I was sold. I have worked on Broadway, National tours, and in film and Joey is the first person to honor the natural way I sing, not try and change it, but give me tools to find more freedom and confidence in my voice. Working with Joey reminds me just how much I love singing... He is a master at what he does and marries his knowledge of the voice and pedagogy with his love of teaching.

I have been performing on Broadway for over a decade, and Joey has proven to be the absolute best at helping me understand how to sing to my greatest potential. It’s not hyperbole. I’m a completely different and better singer since starting to work with him.

Joey has taken my voice to places I never thought it could go. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, but he’s passionate and approachable. Joey has worked with me to release old habits and create healthier new ones. I genuinely look forward to our lessons and am excited for the next one.

Working with Joey helped my voice to take leaps and bounds forward. I’ve been shocked to see how fast I improved with his guidance. I’m singing notes I never thought possible! It feels really good to understand my voice better and trust I have solid technique to sound great, even on my worst day. Joey is a bright, supportive, and positive teacher who will always meet you where you are at. It’s clear he is really passionate about what he does. I always leave my voice lessons feeling inspired and excited to continue singing! I can’t thank or recommend Joey enough!

Working with Joey has been such a gift to me personally and artistically. I learned more in a single lesson than I did in an entire year at college and look forward to going back every week. His lessons are an incredible vocal work out filled with insightful technique and major creative inspiration. I am constantly encouraging performers and students of mine to go see him!

Joey is a masterful teacher. His approach to expanding the voice is intention-driven and sincerely caring. There were things I had convinced myself my voice couldn’t do— he questioned those ideas and continues to teach me how to defy my own perceived limitations by guiding me through unique, practical and effective exercises that challenge my brain AND voice. He is invested in the artistic growth of his students!

Joey is a down-to-earth passionate voice teacher. He’s incredibly supportive with reaching your goals while also challenging you to achieve more. He has taught me so much about the voice in general as well as my unique voice. He came to see my show and helped me formulate a plan to better sustain my voice throughout a long running show with the specifics my show requires.
Connor McRory
Funny Girl, Broadway

What I enjoy most about my lessons with Joey is that he explains the mechanics of the voice in ways that make complete sense. My entire career I often shied away from singing and relied on my dancing to get me the jobs. But now, I walk into every room with the confidence and knowledge I learned from Joey, and I no longer hide. My lessons with Joey are ALWAYS filled with new and exciting discoveries! I cannot recommend him enough.

Where do I begin!? Joey’s approach to vocal coaching is considerate, practical, effective, and fun. I have been able to access parts of my voice that I didn’t know were there and that has been very exciting. I can’t say enough how grateful I am to Joey and BroadwayVox for their continued teaching and dedication to their students. Not only have I learned more about myself, I have grown to have an affinity and respect for vocal pedagogy. He will listen to your needs and goals and will make you feel more confident and at ease with your instrument. All while having a lot of fun and laughs along the way (bonus!).

Joey is a master of his craft. As an MD and pianist in NYC, I’ve had the pleasure of not only studying with Joey as a singer and musician, but to also play for Joey’s classes as an accompanist… Joey’s knowledge of the industry and vocal demands of an actor in musical theater are precise and current. I’ve watched Joey transform voices from behind the piano. He’s patient, specific, and a master educator. Learning from Joey has really expanded my confidence as a music director as well. I feel way more empowered to sing in rehearsals when working with actors. I’ve learned endless tools from Joey to help my singers navigate difficult passages and grow as singers.

I can not recommend Dr Joey’s classes enough. Joey has a special way to make any worries you may have about your voice feel seen and heard, while also using his vast knowledge to help break down emotional barriers and push through glass ceilings. I learn so much in each lesson with him, and always leave feeling empowered and ready to keep working. I never thought of myself as a soprano, and now I’m singing songs I would laugh at attempting years ago! He’s the perfect push I need.
