I remember very clearly the first time I ever helped someone with their singing.

It was in an NYU dorm basement and my friend Lisa was struggling with parts of "Suddenly Seymour," a song she had been assigned as part of the musical theater summer program we were both attending. She couldn’t figure it out so I listened to my instincts and gave her some advice on how to navigate the challenging sections. Shockingly, it worked. She sounded and felt better. This was the first voice lesson I ever taught.

In that moment, I tapped into something that would set the tone for my teaching career: the desire to help.

Lessons are available with either myself or one of my associate teachers, Hannah Lundy Connell and Lindsay Pringle.

My specialty is working with professional singers who have specific technical needs, including those who have sustained vocal injuries or struggle with vocal health issues. I work primarily with professional singers located in New York City.

Hannah and Lindsay are available to work with avocational and vocational singers, singers looking for online lessons, and younger singers, like teens and kids.

 We will help figure out who is the best fit for you! If you would like to work with us, you can start the process here.

What To Expect In A Voice Session

Sessions are focused on technical troubleshooting and voice development. Specific technical concerns will be addressed through vocal, physical, and hands-on exercises.

Amanda's specialty is working with professional singers who have specific technical needs, including those who have sustained vocal injuries, or struggle with vocal health issues. Hannah's specialty is working with beginning and developing singers, especially teens and dancers.

We will also look at repertoire in your session and apply the technical concepts to your rep. The focus always remains on technique, not audition prep or book building. Amanda and Hannah both play the piano well enough for technical focus, but are not professional accompanists.

If you're looking to sing through material with a pianist, find new audition rep, or learn callback music for an audition, you might be looking for a repertoire or vocal coach, not a voice teacher. We are happy to refer our technique clients to some excellent repertoire coaches for their rep and audition needs.

    Paying For Your Session

    Payment for all lessons is by card. Links will be included in your confirmation and reminder emails.

    Cancellation Fee

    Lessons cancelled less than 24 hours before the start of the session incur a cancellation fee only in the event that we don't fill your spot. If we are able to fill your time from the waitlist, there is never a cancellation fee.

    Cancellations are accepted via email only.

    If a client does not show up for a confirmed lesson, they are responsible for the full fee of the lesson.

    How to Schedule a Session

    To allow Amanda and Hannah to focus on teaching, all scheduling is done via email to the fabulous Studio Manager, Maggie, at Maggie@amandaflynnvoice.com.

    When you email to request lessons, please let us know some dates and times you would be available so we can get you on the calendar as quickly as possible!

    The schedule is always open a month in advance. So on 2/6 the schedule is open through 3/6, on 5/25 the schedule is open through 6/25, etc.

    The studio keeps date- and time-specific waitlists so that we are better able to offer you lessons that work in your schedule. In the event of a cancellation, we offer lessons to clients on the waitlist in the order they joined.

    All waitlists are also open a month in advance. Due to constantly changing availability on all sides, we are unfortunately unable to "auto-renew” your waitlist availability past when the schedule is open at any given time.
