Baritone Stephen Lancaster: “Be thankful for your voice. Nobody else has it. Let the world hear it.”

My guest this week is Stephen Lancaster. He’s a vocal artist, baritone, and teacher who has performed song recitals in New York, Paris, Berlin, and Gstaad. Media like Fanfare Magazine describe him as “varied in tone and alive to feeling,” and having invited him to the Sage Sayers, we fully agree. In our delightful conversation, Stephen, who is also Professor of the Practice at University of Notre Dame, shares his early starts into music (which began from his church). We hear of the confidence that comes from using our voice with ease and the freedom and startling joy from breakthroughs. He even teaches us activities for the days when our voice won’t cooperate, which feels very freeing indeed. Reach out to Prof. Stephen on LinkedIn or via his website. Your show host, D G McCullough is a former reporter for the Guardian, the Economist, and the FT of London.
