Rachel Pantazis is an actor and vocalist based in New York City. She is a classically trained soprano with extensive musical theatre experience. Above all, she is a passionate collaborator with extreme versatility.

Rachel Pantazis grew up in southern New Hampshire as the daughter of two parents working in public education for students with special needs.

She found a supreme love for classical music and theatre as a high school student studying voice privately and singing in her local church choir as well as her school chorus. Her memories of singing Vivaldi’s Gloria, Mozart’s Requiem, and Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms are some of her most treasured.

Rachel attended Westminster Choir College as a vocal performance and pedagogy major for one year studying with Harold Evans. However, the conservatory model did not give her access to the liberal arts education she was hoping for, and Rachel transferred to Plymouth State University in the White Mountains of New Hampshire in 2011.

During college, Rachel took an internship with the American Repertory Theatre at Harvard University in the education department. The theatre was producing its pre-Broadway run of Finding Neverland, running theatre programming in the inner-city schools of Boston, and designing social stories for their sensory friendly youth productions.

Since graduating from Plymouth University in 2015, Rachel has performed in countless regional productions along the east coast, worked as a production singer with Carnival Cruise Line, moved to upper Manhattan, married her incredible husband, and adopted a cat!

Rachel has continued her passion for working with youth performers music directing youth productions of musicals on the east coast. Rachel teaches private voice to students of all ages on Zoom and in person. Scroll down to get more information about booking a lesson.
