    Sing with Ease! I am the CEO / Founder of AEVStudios. I teach the same technique used by more than 300 major recording, movie, Broadway, and concert stars and they have amassed more than 140 "Grammy's", 12 "Tonys", and 8 Metropolitan Opera Soloist Awards. With over 25+ years of industry experience, and having performed 1000+ of shows nation-wide, AEVStudios' passion is sharing my gifts and helping others do the same, while positively impacting the lives of those I meet. I love educating others through positive encouragement and am fulfilled when I have the opportunity to pass on to others what has been given to me. I base each session and lesson program on the goals of the individual student. I have 5 associate coaches and counting who have studied with me 6+ years who are continuing to impact voices on a national level. I look forward to helping you! TESTIMONIES // CLIENTS OF AMANDA Amanda took my voice to new heights! While working on my voice she understood my style and didn’t try to change it. As a rock singer…that was exciting! 
— Dalton Rapattoni 
 (American Idol Farewell Season) I have two children who have been working with AEVS founder for years and I still see progress every time they have a session. She really cares about her students and it's important to her to help them reach their goals. - Kiva, mother of Sophie and Dalton Rapattoni (American Idol Farewell Season 15) You're teaching has changed my voice and my life! You're amazing! I absolutely love and appreciate you! - Maddy Hudson (American Idol Finalist, Season 14) I have studied the Singing with Ease technique since 2011, and teaches from the perspective of someone who's voice and life has been truly changed, having been strengthened, and brought to it’s full healthiness, range, and ability through the proper technique. - Laura Leighe, AEVS Associate Not only has AEVS been able to help me with specific technique but she has taught me so much about my voice. I was blessed with the gift of being able to sing, but AEVS has helped me understand the gift that I have been given. She is not only one of the best vocal coaches, but she is one of the smartest...she has so much knowledge behind everything that she is teaching! I would recommend Amanda as a vocal coach and vocal mentor to anyone! - Bethany Trevino Blessed. Not much more I can say. AEVS founder is an amazing individual and an inspiration to me. She has helped me in so many ways. She is one of the best mentors anyone could have. She is unbelievably beautiful, and her voice? Well it is FLAWLESS. I love you. - Connor Scott Frank I have been taking lessons from AEVS for a little over 3 1/2 years, and she has helped me so much to learn how to sing with power and ease! I would not be anywhere near the vocalist I am today without her! - Katie Best AEVS has a cunning ability to draw amazing things out of her students they didn't even know they were capable of. She is patient, but assertive in her coaching style, and offers more than just singing lessons. She offers great mentoring that I know will stay with Mallory for a lifetime. - Jenny, mother of Mallory Lynn Singing has definitely become easier under AEVS' direction! Through techniques customized specifically for me, she's teaching me how to break down the barriers I've placed on myself. I have a much wider range now than I've ever had before and I look forward to continue working with her to maximize my potential as a singer! - Wes Brazer It's a blessing to have my daughter with a voice coach that she can look up to and have as a role model; AEVS can not only sing and coach but she is a beautiful person inside and out! - Lori, mother of Holly Beth AEVS has really helped me to grow as a vocalist and performer. She has taught me that I am capable of so much more than I thought possible! - Sierra Sikes AEVS has gone above and beyond to make me the singer I am today. She uses incredible techniques to strengthen my voice and the best patience to make sure I understand what I am doing. She has developed me as an artist and pushed me to reach for my dreams! - Erica Maynord Before my voice lessons, I had no idea what I was capable of. My range and stage presence has increased dramatically because of the technique I have been taught. The possibilities are endless. - Kayleigh Jones, AEVS Associate My life and progress has changed dramatically since I began studying with AEVS. Looking back, it's crazy to see how far I've come. She pushes me to do my best and then some. I wouldn't change my time with her for anything. I saw a difference in not only the way I sang, but also the way I sounded in just a few weeks when I started with her. She's the best at what she does and I'm beyond grateful. - Ellerie West AEVS founder has the ability to make a voice come out that I didn't even know I had. I'm consistently impressed with what I'm able to unlock vocally in her sessions. - Chris Crow, AEVS Associate AEVS has helped my voice grow to places I never knew it could!! My range is larger and still growing and I can control my voice incredibly well!! - Samantha Gagliardi It's like night and day the difference from when I first came to AEVS and now. I can sing with more support and do not run out of air - I sing with less effort and sound better! If you've been searching for the right vocal coach, you have found her! AEVS is easy to work with and will work on songs of your choice, even originals. When I first came to her, I planned on only taking 3 months of lessons to brush up on some things. I've now been with AEVS for over a year and plan to continue. - Kacey Walkingstick As an older student, which I am proud to say I am 51, AEVS has taught me the importance of having a healthy voice and giving me the tools to keep it that way, in addition to keeping my voice young and strong, she has in turn taught me to be a better singer through her technique [with] exercises and [also] learning to make good choices to keep my voice in good shape, so I will able to sing for years to come. - Laura Mae Tatum
