Amy Chapman MA, CCC-SLP, is not just a vocal therapist and singing voice specialist; she’s an invaluable resource for professionals seeking to optimize their voice for peak performance. As a licensed and board-certified Speech & Language Pathologist, Amy brings a unique blend of clinical expertise and real-world performance experience to her coaching at Global Voice Acting Academy (GVAA). With a career dedicated to helping voice professionals (from voice actors to singers) maintain vocal health, Amy is committed to guiding you on your journey to vocal excellence.

At GVAA, Amy Chapman offers specialized coaching sessions focused on vocal health. Her sessions are designed to help voice actors, singers, and public speakers not only improve their vocal technique but also maintain the long-term health of their voice. Whether you are just starting in your voice acting career or are a seasoned professional, Amy’s coaching is tailored to meet your specific needs. She works closely with each client, assessing their vocal strengths and challenges, and then develops a personalized plan to help them achieve their goals.

Amy’s approach to vocal health is rooted in her deep understanding of both the art of performance and the science of vocal physiology. As a trained singer and performer, she knows the demands placed on a professional voice. This artistic background is coupled with her scientific knowledge of how the voice works and how it can be optimized. This dual expertise allows her to help clients achieve significant improvements in their vocal performance while ensuring they avoid common pitfalls like vocal fatigue and injury.

In addition to coaching, Amy offers voice therapy and rehabilitation services to clients dealing with specific vocal issues. Whether you’re facing challenges like nodules, polyps, cysts, or even vocal paralysis, Amy provides targeted therapy designed to address these conditions and restore vocal health. Her approach is holistic, addressing not just the vocal cords but the entire vocal mechanism, including the throat, jaw, and diaphragm.

One of Amy’s most innovative contributions to vocal health is her unique vocal massage and therapy program, known as Manual Voice Therapy. This program has gained national recognition for its effectiveness in helping singers and other voice professionals release muscle tension and significantly improve their vocal performance. Voice massage, or Laryngeal Manipulation, is a technique that combines massage, voicing, mobilization, and manipulation of the paralaryngeal area, jaw, tongue, and diaphragm. This method is designed to reduce pain and tension in the voice, throat, jaw, and larynx while improving vocal function and increasing vocal range. Amy’s vocal massage therapy is particularly beneficial for those experiencing vocal fatigue, reduced vocal stamina, or pain associated with vocal use.

Laryngeal Manipulation is ideal for voice professionals experiencing musculoskeletal problems of the voice and larynx. Whether you are dealing with hoarseness, neck tension, jaw pain, or decreased vocal range, Amy’s voice massage therapy can help. It is also an effective treatment for conditions like vocal fold strain, hyperadduction, and the management of vocal lesions such as polyps and nodules. By improving vocal stamina and endurance, this therapy enables clients to perform at their best, whether they are on stage, in the studio, or behind the mic.

Amy Chapman’s services go beyond traditional voice coaching. She offers a comprehensive range of treatments and training designed to support all aspects of vocal health. This includes therapy for high-endurance voice use, such as singers on tour, and training in proper vocal hygiene to prevent injury. Amy also provides therapy to strengthen the aging voice, pre-operative and post-operative care to improve surgical outcomes, and breathing and breath control training to enhance projection. For those with specific needs, Amy offers transgender voice therapy, public speech coaching, and accent reduction services. Her goal is to empower each client to use their voice with confidence and clarity, regardless of the challenges they face.

In addition to her work with clients, Amy is a respected educator in the field of vocal health. She has lectured on topics such as voice optimization, speech, vocal health, and voice rehabilitation at universities across California, including UCLA, USC, and Chapman University. Her lectures are highly regarded for their depth of knowledge and practical application, making her a sought-after speaker in both academic and professional circles.
