Liz Caplan

You need to go to see Liz Kaplan.

Liz Kaplan, unbeknownst to those people, went to see his play.

I go backstage because I'm with Amanda, whom I had just worked with on Les Miserables, the film.

And then I'm meeting him and it was personal.

and it was after his play.

So he was exhausted, but calm.

And he put his arm around me and gave me a hug in advance of working with me.

So by the time he came in the following week for his first ever voice lesson with me, we were already so comfortable with each other because we had met not like,

Okay, I'm going to be your teacher.

You're going to be my student.

You're unbelievably famous.

I'm going to have nerves working with you.

But he is the kind of person, and I'm going to say this about most everybody else with whom I work of this A-list nature.

They are so aware that people are going to be nervous with them initially that they try to calm me down.

That's awesome.

Or whomever they're talking to.

It's almost like, get the nerves out of the way and like, who are we when we're actually having to do the work that we've been assigned to do?

And that was assuaged so quickly.

And then when I did the lesson with him and I did the breathing series that I told you about, and that's when he came up, he was like, do you do this every lesson with everyone?

I went, yes.
