Liz is a New York based acting teacher specializing in the Linklater method, and a performer with a background in physically charged ensemble theater.  Her core values as an educator and artist include an interdisciplinary sensibility, collaborative spirit, and respect for the individual demands of student, performer, and creative material.

As a voice coach, Liz helps actors reconnect with their natural speaking voice through freedom of breath, physical ease, clarity of thought, and an awakened desire to communicate.  She has worked with Columbia University’s School of the Arts, Columbia Business School, Circle in the Square Theatre School, LAByrinth Theater Company, Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, New York Student Shakespeare Festival, and the World Economic Forum’s Global Fellows Program.  She currently is the head voice and speech at Maggie Flanigan Studio, and teaches at The Linklater Center for Voice and Language, Fordham University and NYU. In 2016, Liz co-founded Beyond Fluency with Katya Pronin to help non-native English speakers express themselves more fully and freely through writing, thinking, vocal and physical techniques.

Liz finds her creative home with Stolen Chair Theater Company, an ensemble-driven group with whom she has collaborated on several productions.  She is also a member of Cloud of Fools Theatre Company, and has performed throughout the US and abroad.  MFA in Acting from Columbia School of the Arts.
