"Erik Liberman's intuitive skill, craft mastery, and ability to work with a student wherever they are in the journey — both in life and career — is a wonder to behold."
— V.P. Boyle, Author, Audition Freedom "A brilliant, dedicated actor and singer. As a teacher, he has the rare ability to guide and uplift his students, even as he challenges them. I am inspired by him." — Carolyn Mignini, Drama Desk-nominee; TV's The Deuce and Dannemora "One of those teachers that only comes around once in a lifetime." — K.D., Broadway Theatre Project “Not only are you an impeccable artist, but a life changer. Thank you for bringing an everlasting sunshine to our program.” — J.P., Texas State University, San Marcos “Erik Liberman was so intelligent and philosophical that he barely seemed human! This has been one of my absolute favorite master classes.” — L.H., Texas State University, San Marcos “The way that Erik knew our life stories without even asking us about our past was surreal and very inspiring… If we had a week of this, I think we would see mass improvements in our department.” — I.S., Texas State University, San Marcos “The experience has become a prominent milestone in my artistic education.” — S.B., Texas State University, San Marcos “The amount you can learn from an artist like Erik is endless.” — J.P., Texas State University, San Marcos “To be in the presence of somebody who makes your arsenal of defense mechanisms look like a pile of toy army men is totally disarming. And awesome.” — M.S., Texas State University, San Marcos “Thanks to Erik, our program is whole again.” — G.Y., Texas State University, San Marcos “We’re always told to 'be specific,' but Erik took that to a whole new level and put it on crack. This created millions of colors and tones in everybody who worked. It was beautiful to see.” — J.L., Texas State University, San Marcos |
"A fabulous teacher and a wonderful role model... I came away from the workshops an enormous admirer.”
— Patrice Bailey, Dean, New World School of the Arts Theatre Department "As a stunningly fearless and masterful actor, Erik brings all his dramaturgical brilliance and intuition to bear on his teaching. Our work together on my solo show has profoundly altered my art and my life." — Mary MacDonald Hamill, Broadway's Talley's Folly and Four on a Garden "I am absolutely FLOORED. My life has been changed forever... Bring him back as soon as you can, please.” — E.E., Texas State University, San Marcos “An epic experience. I left the session feeling sound in my heart and mind about what I want to do this in life.” — P.W., Texas State University, San Marcos “Your understanding of humanity is equaled by no one I have worked with thus far.” — J.M., New York Film Academy “He is the one-in-a-million that graces your path if you’re lucky and ready.” — K.N., Haiku, Hawaii “Thanks to you, I now feel ready to begin my true work as an actor.” — K.M., New World School of the Arts “Erik gave me all the tools I needed to think about, answer, freak out about and accept my mission in one 25 minute phone call. I can’t wait to see what other wisdom this teacher of humanity has for us.” — T.E., Texas State University, San Marcos "His brilliant words of wisdom helped me explore all of my material in ways I never even imagined." — A.T., Broadway Theatre Project “His words literally rekindled fires that are inside of me, but I had completely forgotten about. Erik is amazing!” — M.M., Texas State University, San Marcos "Within the first few minutes of being in the same room with Erik, I was mind blown.” — E.E., Texas State University, San Marcos |
"A true gift to the world. I am a better person and producer for knowing him.”
— Yael Silver, Tony Award winning producer "Do everything you can to get in to his class; a remarkable teacher and guide to finding 'you' within the work." — Noah Himmelstein, Director, Lincoln Center's I Am Harvey Milk; Assistant Director, Broadway's Golden Boy "Your energy and perspective on art, acting, and life is needed all over the world.” — K.M., Texas State University “Probably the best acting teacher I have ever had." — J.G., University of Florida "In a single day, you managed to turn us from scared, insecure kids competing with each other into a company of close friends. And I don't think I can ever repay you for that." — A.T., Broadway Theatre Project “He is the only person who challenges me to reach my full potential.” — B.V., Syracuse University “My auditions were 100x better than they have been.” — M.D., Oklahoma City University “Thank you for everything this summer. That’s really all I can say without writing a novel.” — H.B., Otterbein College “Your classes were responsible for personal and professional epiphanies I'm still trying to take in — paradigm shifts, if you will. It was a blessing.” — G.B., Broadway Theatre Project “I think a real teacher is one that can allow a student to keep learning from them even when they're not in the class. I think you did that. You’re like a guru with magical teaching powers.” — M.C., Youth Performing Arts High School “He changed my life in an hour!” — S.M., University of Northern Colorado "He performs exactly how he teaches: completely fearless... Erik has not only helped me be a better actress/dancer, but he has really helped me be a better living, breathing, real human being." — M.S., Pace University |
