~Stephen Colbert
“I have had the unique experience of working with Liz as both a music director and as a vocal student. What makes Liz truly special is her understanding of the vocal mechanism as part of the whole of body mind and spirit. By encouraging harmony in the whole self, and imparting the vocal technique she has perfected over many years of experience, she achieves brilliant and lasting results with her students. She is capable of significantly improving one's technical ability, as well as helping performers through very specific problems. She has my highest respect as a teacher and as a human being.”
~Bryan Perri, Musical Director of WICKED in Los Angeles and San Francisco
“I love Liz Caplan because she is so passionate about what she does. I feel that a truly great teacher knows how to empower their students and cater to their specific needs, reaching into a large ‘bag of tricks’ that will help a variety of people with whatever blocks they have in front of them. Liz is exactly that Great Teacher. She is a wonderful spirit, extremely nurturing and full of love, and she makes all her students feel instantly comfortable with themselves and with their instrument. Every time i refer a singer to her, they walk away from their first lesson feeling like Liz got them to sing better than they ever had before. She is the top!”
~Alex Lacamoire, Tony Award winning Music Director and Orchestrator of IN THE HEIGHTS
"I have many actors to work with Liz. They always come back with less vocal tension, improved breath support and a greater sense of confidence while singing. She works wonders!"
~Lynne Shankel, Drama Desk nominated Orchestrator of ALTAR BOYZ, and
Music Director of CRY-BABY and the Tony Award winning revival of COMPANY
“The voice is the great enigma. Liz Caplan is a wizard at unravelling the strange and unique art form of singing. She enables people to become better than their actual potential, by not merely teaching them craft, but how to understand themselves. As a teacher, Liz possesses this rare and special gift.”
~Francesca Zambello, Award winning director of THE LITTLE MERMAID, THE LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE, and THE FIRST WIVES CLUB
“It isn't by accident that Liz Caplan is our "go-to" voice teacher at Wicked. She has worked with the vast majority of our leading ladies on these vocally demanding roles. Because of her keen knowledge of the voice and the demands of musical theatre singing, Liz always brings great improvement to the technique of each singer that works with her. I am constantly amazed, however, at how Liz also becomes friend, coach, and confidant to her students. She doesn't just love teaching--she also loves the connection of great collaboration. It is exactly because of this--the level of comfort, love, and familiarity that she can achieve in her studio--that Liz produces great singing. Her technical improvements are only magnified by the relaxation and ease that she brings to everyone who walks into her studio. I consider myself lucky to have worked with Liz and, yes, to also call her my friend!”
~Dominick Amendum, Music Director/Conductor and Associate Musical Supervisor of WICKED
“When I first met Liz, I could tell immediately that she's someone who "gets it." Her understanding of technique and the physiology of singing is staggering -- but more importantly, she fully grasps and inspires the art of it. She's magnificent at freeing the voice of blocks and hang-ups without removing the unique qualities of the singer. Not to mention she's a ton of fun. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
~Charlie Alterman, Music Director of NEXT TO NORMAL
"I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Liz for some time now. While I have always marveled at her knowledge of music and technique, it is her unique understanding of what each individual performer needs that impresses me most. She continues to reach singers of all types with her methods, and her ability to improve overall performance while protecting the instrument is astounding.”
-Tom Kitt, Tony-Award nominated composer of Next to Normal and High Fidelity
"Liz uses her compassionate eyes and ears and hands to immediately zero in on exactly what needs to be done, whether in an emergency or in the long term. She is effective, practical, smart, loving, lighthearted, and continually invested in the success and health of her students. I'm so glad that I chose her to help me work with the actors placed under my care."
-Deborah Abramson, associate Musical Director of SPRING AWAKENING and THE GLORIOUS ONES at Lincoln Center
"Liz Caplan trained one of my favorite singers, Danielle Evin. Whenever I recommend Liz to singers or A & R staffers, everyone always ends up happy. With Liz Caplan, the results have always been great.”
-Joe Mardin, record producer for NuNoise Music
"Liz Caplan is the Sherlock Holmes of voice teachers — she detects everything!"
-Louis Atlas, Atlas Music, Inc.
"Having once had the pleasure of being a student myself of Liz's, I can testify first hand, of her encouraging, high caliber, supportive, and musical expertise in the realm of show business. On top of her amazing artistry, she is a first rate caring lady, and I am proud to call her my friend and colleague"
-Dan Mojica, Associate Director/Associate Choreographer for Disney's Beauty and the Beast
"I have known Liz Caplan for many years. I have had the pleasure of teaching and auditioning many of her students. Liz seems to bring the best out of her students and so many actors speak highly of what she has done for them. I too can see the difference."
-Arnold Mungioli, casting director, Mungioli Theatricals
Mr. Mungioli was formerly casting director for Disney Theatricals
World-Wide, as well as Livent, Inc., Canada and New York"
"Liz Caplan is a vocal coaching rock star."
-Brian Lowdermilk, composer of The Woman Upstairs,
and the Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown

-Jeff Vincent, Planet Void Music
