Singing as Medicine: How Liz Caplan Healed Through Music

In this deeply moving episode of The Determined Society, host Shawn French sits down with Liz Caplan, world-renowned vocal coach, founder of Liz Caplan Voice Studios, and trusted voice teacher to some of the biggest names in film, television, and Broadway, including Hugh Jackman, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Andrew Garfield, Ben Platt, Stephen Colbert, and more. From growing up with asthma to discovering that singing and breathwork could literally change how her body functioned, Liz explains how music became her first medicine, long before success, recognition, or a thriving business. She shares how deep, intentional breathing can calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and create a natural “high” with no crash, no hangover, and no harm. Liz also pulls back the curtain on her journey from teaching a few students to becoming one of the most trusted vocal coaches in the industry, explaining how small steps, word of mouth, and genuine care built a world-class career rooted in service, not ego. Key Takeaways -Your voice and breath are powerful healing tools, not just performance skills. -Deep, intentional breathing can regulate the nervous system and reduce anxiety naturally. -True success is built slowly through service, trust, and word-of-mouth consistency. -Burnout often comes from absorbing others’ energy; learning to release it is essential. -Creativity, music, and movement can be medicine when used with intention. -Determination means continuing your mission with empathy, care, and integrity.
