What People Are Saying: 

"…each individual receives such detailed, special attention." - John Beebout

"Steve’s attention to detail is exceptional and has been very helpful in my preparation for my work." - Michael Shelle

"The Musical Theatre Gym is an affordable, comfortable place to get great one-on-one coaching and musical guidance. And you always learn by watching others. The atmosphere is always supportive, relaxed and fun." - David Gable

"I was looking for a place where I could have a serious singing work out, w/a seriously good accompanist and a terrific director-in the company of other seasoned singers. I also wanted somewhere I could find more confidence as a singer, and in my musicianship--to make mistakes and learn from them, without feeling terribly humiliated (which has happened too often in my singing life). With Steve, Fran and The Musical Theatre Gym, I've found all of that." - Karin de la Penha

"Working with Steven is one of the best investments I have made lately. He has a great energy and ‘understood’ me immediately." - Stefanos Koroneos

"Steve and Fran really helped me get to the core action of each of my songs - they work with you on truly communicating the text of the song, and finding the emotional cues in the music. Their focus is on finding the real, human emotions and motivations behind each phrase, which is so helpful to get your songs to jump off the page!" - Kelly Campbell

"The Musical Theatre GYM has given me a safe place to try out new material and get immediate feedback. Steve and Fran make a great team! They can give you great direction from two creative/professional points-of-view! It’s a great, affordable way for me to try out new material and really dissect the older stuff'. I always feel better prepared for an audition after working it out at the GYM!" - Robert Torigoe

"An opportunity to get your song and its delivery critiqued while you're still in the audition room - Priceless" - D'Ambrose Boyd
