"La Force ...[handled] Rossini’s florid writing with panache and style, secure high notes, a full rounded tone
and easy access to the bottom of his range. Moreover, with his height and looks, he has the bearing and
presence to make for a very convincing [Don Ramiro]."
— ConcertoNet.com, Kelly Snyder
"Joshua La Force, ... knockout tenor that probably can be heard in the parking lot. "
— Oakland Tribune, Vicki Walker
"Not the least of [Opera San Jose's La Cenerentola] success emanates from mezzo-soprano Layna Chianakas as Cinderella and tenor
Joshua La Force as the prince. They meet and exceed the vocal demands [of their roles],

outshine even hers as he hits high Cs on the dead run, and his ``Love Be My Guide'' plea when he has to search for her later is the
vocal highlight of the evening."
— San Jose Mercury News, Colin Seymour
"Joshua La Force's generous tenor ..."
— San Francisco Frontiers, Erin Blackwell

"... the gorgeous voice of Joshua La Force..."
— Oakland Tribune, Vicki Walker
