About Liz Caplan Vocal Studios
Liz Caplan has been "balancing the state of the artist" for over 30 years as a voice teacher and vocal coach in New York City, and as a guest lecturer throughout the United States and Europe. Her students are currently featured in principal roles on Broadway, national tours, off-Broadway, regionally, and as artists in the recording industry. Many have won Tony Awards, Grammy and Emmy Awards. In addition, she works with many Tony and Grammy Award nominated and winning musical directors and arrangers. As a result, Liz is able to get a sense of the upcoming trends in both musical theatre and the music industry. Her students therefore benefit from a teacher
who has an awareness of these new productions and their various musical styles. Liz Caplan draws upon many diverse disciplines in her approach to teaching voice. Her innovative use of physical
alignment, exercise, and nutrition help to build and maintain a healthy instrument. Vocal exercises, tailored to the individual student, aim to strengthen the larynx and vocal cords as well as releasing the tongue and jaw, yielding increased range and flexibility.
In addition to Singing For Dancers, Liz Caplan currently has a successful line of gender specific vocal coaching mobile applications available in iTunes that include: Vocal Tool Kit Pro, Vocal Coach Country , Vocal Coach Rock /Blues, Vocal Coach Music Theater, Vocal Coach Pop / R&B, and Vocal Coach Choir.
