About Liz Whitney

Liz Whitney is a vocalist, educator, and musical director with two decades of experience dedicated to the belief that the singer’s true instrument is the entire body. As the founder of Skylark Voice Studio and owner of Take the Stage, Liz specializes in a holistic approach centered on Body Mapping—a deep understanding of the body’s size, structure, and function. By fostering this intrinsic physical awareness, she helps artists of all ages produce sound that is a direct result of a free and grounded body.

Her teaching philosophy is further shaped by her practices in meditation and time spent in nature. Whether she is leading productions for California theater companies like Performing Academy and The YES Foundation or working one-on-one in the studio, Liz focuses on a joyful, collaborative partnership. She holds a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Northern Colorado and a Bachelor’s from Kenyon College.

When she isn’t in the theater, Liz is happiest hiking and recharging outdoors or enjoying a lively home life with her husband, Marc, and their three children: 14-year-olds Reed and J.P., and 12-year-old Elliot. Their home is a musical one, shared with a husky, a tuxedo cat, and two guinea pigs who are always ready to join in on a practice session.

She looks forward to meeting and making music with you!
