In high demand, Amanda splits her time between Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, while coaching international students both in person and on-line. Whether in studio, a workshop, a master class, or a private lesson, she has acted as a guide, helping her students to tune into their senses, find and free their real voice, free their creative spirit and prevent vocal injuries. She has been described as a rare teacher who has a deep understanding of the physiology and mechanics of voice, a finely tuned sensitivity to student’s needs, and the ability to communicate instructions with clarity and precision. Amanda is consistent in creating a relaxed learning environment in which students can be vulnerable, and where constructive feedback is thoughtfully given. Students will learn to develop a harmonious balance between vocal technique and creativity, enabling them to get that much closer to their true potential.
