“I came to Stephanie at a time when my voice wasn’t progressing in the way I was wanting or needing it too. After my first lesson with her I knew she was the real thing. Her passion, organization and knowledge was unmatched compared to other teachers I had taken from. I felt like she truly cared for me as a human as well as my voice. Her unique teaching approach gave me a complete paradigm shift in the way I thought about the voice. And the way she teaches is fresh and relevant. She is the only voice teacher I have fully trusted. She is extremely attentive and listens to me. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone at any point in their vocal journey.”

RENT National Tour 20th & 25th Anniversary (Roger)

”I was a recent college graduate with my BFA in Musical Theatre who had just undergone vocal cord surgery when I first started taking lessons from Stephanie. I was terrified to start singing again, and was worried my voice would never be the same. With Stephanie’s guidance through focused rehabilitation and meticulous application of technique, not only was I able to improve my sound, but I also developed a deeper understanding of my voice that has allowed me to regain confidence in my singing. Stephanie’s genuine appreciation of the vocal mechanism as a whole allows her to unlock and enhance her students' voices as she has done for me. I always look forward to our time together and leave each lesson feeling better vocally than I did before. Her presence and expertise will only benefit those who are lucky enough to learn from her. I recommend Stephanie to everyone and anyone I know in need of a voice teacher and I can't thank her enough!”

“I was diagnosed with an incurable vocal pathology in 2015, and have since worked with many vocal teachers and coaches around the world. Connecting and working with Stephanie Bacastow this past year has been such an absolute gift. Stephanie approaches singing instruction the way a violin teacher approaches violin instruction: precise technical application in exercises alongside repertoire that nurtures technical challenges but also fosters confidence and fine tuning in musicality and expressivity, thereby nurturing the complete performer. Stephanie’s fantastic ear for tuning resonance specifications in my voice has not only increased my range, but has allowed for more comfort and ease in the entire instrument. On top of all of this, she is such a joy to work with, with an outlook and demeanor only rivaled by Adriene Mishler’s (of “Yoga with Adriene”) positivity and compassion. Working with Stephanie has not only improved my own performance skills but has also given me insight into my own teaching and directing.”

“I was introduced to Stephanie through an incredibly well regarded voice specialist at NYU Langone. I started working with her during an increasingly vulnerable point in my journey with my voice. I had just undergone microlaryngoscopy surgery to remove a lesion on my right vocal cord. I was insecure, emotional, physically weak, and intimidated by the journey ahead. Stephanie empathized with my fears, she nourished my talents, and she gave me the confidence to believe in myself and my voice again. Stephanie's acute understanding of this instrument allowed me to let go of the fears that I was harboring post surgery. She approached every lesson with sharp specificity tailored to my needs, strengths, and weaknesses. Something a friend of mine said just about sums it all up - "My voice has never felt better than when I sing with Stephanie." Our work allowed me to head into my first NYC audition season with specificity, confidence, and joy. My life has truly been affected by not only Stephanie's talents as a vocal coach, but as her sincerity as a friend. For lack of a better term- she is the real deal.”

Antigone, Much Ado About Nothing

“I have been singing my entire life, but it wasn’t until I began voice lessons with Stephanie that I began to truly enjoy singing to the fullest extent. Every time I left the room after one of our sessions, I was thrilled with the progress I had made and could tell a significant difference in my voice. I have no doubt that the sessions I had with Stephanie made me a better singer and performer. Her expertise in the field is obvious within the first session you begin with her and continues through each and every one after that. I truly, truly could not speak more highly of her and her skills. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to take high quality voice lessons!”

“My goal in pursuing formal vocal training was to improve my performance of the original songs I was writing for my college rock band. From the moment I met Stephanie, I was immediately struck by the enthusiasm, positivity, and kindness she exuded at all times. Her energy and optimism made every lesson an incredibly enjoyable and positive experience. She has a gift for using every moment productively and effectively. Her use of constructive criticism and positive affirmation helped improve my vocal performance every time we met. To this day, her technical knowledge of the art of singing has allowed me to use my voice in ways I never could before. She taught me how to get the most out of my breath, when to breathe, and how to take care of my voice. The various breathing exercises she showed me over three years ago will inform the way I sing for the rest of my life. In addition to being a gifted vocalist and teacher, Stephanie is a truly reliable, loyal, and trustworthy human being who supports her students and their endeavors with all of her heart and spirit.
I am beyond blessed to call her a mentor and a friend.”
