"Bruce Eckstut teaches with knowledge and precision that is second to none. His work is a gift to anyone with a desire to develop their voice.”
Austin Butler, Actor
“Bruce is a truly gifted, inspired and inspiring teacher. He not only patiently teaches with great detail the techniques of singing, but gives you the support and safe place one needs to learn and grow and eventually take flight.”
Sally Field, Actor
“Bruce Eckstut knows more about vocal production and vocal health than anyone else out there. After singing professionally for 25 years, he introduced me to my voice and its potential as if I had spent my life as a mute. My range, strength and artistry have increased immeasurably. But he is not only a voice coach – he is also a voice healer. I was performing 8 shows a week when a virus temporarily paralyzed one of my vocal chords. I thought I would have to quit the show. Because of Bruce’s extraordinary knowledge and coaching, I never missed a single performance and my cord is healthy and strong. Bruce is nothing short of amazing. As long as there is voice in my body, that voice will be in his wonderful hands.”
Jason Alexander, Actor
“Bruce’s approach is kind and supportive and at the same time specific and almost miraculous in pinpointing vocal problems. He has taught me a great deal and “saved” me more than once during a last minute singing engagement and two very demanding stage roles.”
Jean Smart, Actor
"Bruce helped me re-imagine my entire concept of vocal delivery. His techniques have helped me undo unhelpful habits decades in the making and put me on a pathway of maximizing my vocal potential."
Levar Burton, Actor
"Not having sung professionally for many years, I went to Bruce to perfect my voice for acting and public speaking. Within months he had improved my vocal strength and from there began to build a truer, better singing voice than I have ever had. Bruce is an exceptionally gifted teacher and an indispensable and continually inspiring part of my training."
Alex Winter, Actor
In an era of shortcuts, quick fixes and superficiality, Bruce Eckstut’s teaching stands in stark contrast. His love of the human voice and his never wavering commitment to hard work and a healthy, honest vocal technique has left me with an instrument that is agile, durable and one hundred percent my own. The sensitivity he brings to every class, audition, and song creates a safe environment for me to play, fail, learn, and succeed. Under his care, he has successfully guided me from audition to rehearsal to performance. Our voice is the outer expression of our inner soul and Bruce has the power to unlock our ability to connect and communicate through song. He gives you the key but honors your journey, allowing you to turn it and walk through the door. His vast empathetic heart has been ever ready to help me navigate the turbulent waters of my demanding role playing Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys.
Jonny Wexler, Actor
“Check your ego at the door and get ready to be taught by the best singing teacher I have ever had the pleasure of working with.”
Ralph Saenz aka Michael Starr, Steel Panther
“From a voice that was virtually destroyed by another singing coach, Bruce came into my life and began to bring my voice back to where I could use it again. Under his expert guidance, with patience and hard work, he helped me to perform once more doing what I truly love. He has my undying gratitude.”
Janis Paige, Actor
“Bruce Eckstut is by far the best voice coach I have ever worked with. If you are an actor who wants to improve your voice or a singer who longs to reach your full vocal potential, I can think of no one better to recommend to you. I cannot tell you how amazing it has been to hear my own voice transform through my work with Bruce. His unique approach is truly remarkable.”
Larry Moss, Director • Acting Coach
“Bruce gently introduced me to my singing voice and is now guiding me in realizing my full potential. He is a passionate, compassionate, and intuitive teacher, and a gift for anyone in search of their true voice.”
Mark Dacascos, Actor
“Bruce Eckstut is a genius. In less than a year he has given me access to a vocal range and flexibility I have never come close to touching in 25 years as a professional actress. With elegance, grace and consummate artistry, he has helped me to discover my true voice. If you’re serious about your acting, this work is an absolute must. Bruce is without a doubt the best singing coach Los Angeles offers.
Maia Danziger, Actor
