"The fantastic Australian singer Liz Van Dort - what a voice!"
Olaf Parusel, film and TV composer, band 'Stoa'
"...world class, extremely talented and with perfect vocal control, Liz can literally sing and improvise anything. She can also precisely duplicate a vocal line multiple times. She's fantastic to work with, remotely or in the studio."
Harry Williamson, musician and producer
"Classical, rock, folk, pop, jazz, experimental; Liz pushes the boundaries of what's possible vocally."
Atmosphere magazine
Blast from the past...
Recently discovered this 'Making of...' DVD from a German TV series from 2005. Here's a grab from it. Had great fun recording the vocal tracks for this, and getting the right sound to suit the theme.
Random selection of sounds from TV, short film, recordings, live performances, an experimental sample for Cirque du Soleil...
