Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Who do you work with?
A: I work with beginners to advanced professionals.

Q: How are your lessons structured?
A: You may be having some specific vocal problems or may want to expand your capabilities. The lessons are tailored to meet your needs and goals. I believe in providing complete support. This includes the development of natural vocal technique as well as skills in performance and recording.

Q: How do I start lessons?
A: Start with a consultation free of charge. Voice lessons are too personal to choose from just a phone call. I like to make sure that I am the right person to help you reach your goals.

Q: What does the consultation consist of?
A: The consultation gives you the opportunity to meet me. You will be asked about your lesson goals and invited to ask any questions about our approach. I will take your through some breathing and vocal “tests” to see where you are. Once the consultation is complete, you should feel confident in your decision that I am the right teacher for you.

Q: How long will it take?
A: Everyone’s body and body awareness is different. Some people will see immediate results while others will take a few weeks. If someone is promising overnight results, chances are they won’t be healthy or perminant results.

Q: What should I bring to a voice lesson?
A: While voice lessons are fun they are also work so come with your materials, extra paper a pencil, water a tape recorder and tape and a smile.

My husband and I wanted to improve our singing, just for fun, so we decided to take lessons. Amanda was great—our pitch, tone, and voice quality all improved. She is comfortable to work with and we never felt embarrassed or shy. We would recommend her to anyone!

We loved working with Amanda and we're still singing in the car, so that's a good thing!
