The interactive relationship between music and drama IS the art of musical theatre.

Yet, strangely, I never see it taught.

I'm here to train you in the power, depth and the *secrets* of real music. I'll help shape your acting and your performance with elite-level phrasing, dynamics, song form utilization and universal concepts of art and structure.Of course we'll implement vocal technique as well.

I've successfully worked with hundreds of singers from Broadway talent to up-and-coming students.

Bryan McAdams has played a pivotal role in my development as a vocalist and performer. Through his guidance, I've gained a solid understanding of vocal technique and performance nuances. His profound knowledge and passion for the craft truly set him apart, and have left an indelible mark on my musical journey.

Bryan McAdams is one of the most professional vocal coaches I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Most fascinating is his ability to detect precise pitch and rhythm. Bryan’s techniques helped me feel the beat in my body, and now I am much better at feeling the groove of every song I sing. Professional, caring, knowledgeable and talented, Bryan ensures you become the best musical artist you can be.

Ward Sikma

I had the opportunity to work with Bryan McAdams for one year (I wish it was more) and not only did he help me flourish vocally, but he gave me great advice about the business that I will cherish forever. While he is killer at providing guidance in pop/rock, he is able to help you with whatever music you might bring to him. What sets Bryan aside from other vocal coaches is his exceptional sense for how to give a song shape, identifying the main focus of the song.
