Some words that came to mind during my first session with Amy today: MAGIC. SORCERY. LIFE-CHANGING. MIRACLE. And I do not say these lightly. She literally changed my life today. As a "former" singer (but one who still wants to sing casually!) who has struggled with hoarseness of an unknown origin and loss of my mixed voice for over 5 years, this session changed everything for me. We recovered the notes I thought were truly lost forever. Thank you Amy for giving me hope! How incredible are you?! Can't thank you enough. read more

I had lost 80% of my voice after an illness. My ENT Dr. Rafii referred me to Amy Chapman of VoiceLab LA. After working with Amy during the sessions, I have regained my voice which I thought was gone for good. Her sessions included some very challenging exercises and vocal recapturing methods which worked! I am beyond grateful to have my voice back. Amy and her staff are amazing!....Thank you!!!!!! read more

I had the privilege of working with Amy Chapman a few years ago on recovering my voice. She proved to be an incredibly skilled yet compassionate specialist -- truly combining exceptional professionalism and genuine humanity. I'm deeply grateful that life brought me to Amy. My voice is working again. read more

This is judah Amy's son best mom ever she helps me whenever I need help on my vocal music skills

Incredible experience. Amy is so kind and extremely knowledgable. She works with so many of LA's best singers and I can see why.

Amy, I'm a patient of yours, although I haven't had an appointment with you in a while since all has been feeling just GREAT with my voice. Remember back in January 2016 we did surgery on my polyp with OHNI? I can't believe it's been almost two and a half years. I am forever indebted to you and Dr. Gupta for giving me healthy vocal chords that allow me to do all the marvelous things my voice can now do. For all the new and exciting opportunities I am getting musically, I have you guys to thank. For your talents, care, and compassion. Words only do so much to thank you. I mostly wanted to share and thank you to remind you you make dreams come true with your work! You and all you do (and did) that helped me through my surgery recovery was nothing short of WONDERFUL. I hope I can serve as a testament and success story for you. Thank you for making my voice healthy!!!!!! My heart weeps with thankfulness!!!! read more

I went to Amy for issues with my speaking voice. I've been trapped speaking from the back of my throat for years and constantly dealt with irritation, tightness, hoarseness, etc. I literally had discomfort from speaking for even 5-10 minutes and it was seriously affecting my sales career. I had seen multiple doctors, another speech pathologist, and a couple voice coaches. They mostly told me I was fine or that I had acid reflux. After one session Amy prescribed me literally only one simple drill to do daily. It only required about fives minutes in total everyday and within two weeks I'm seeing far more positive results than I expected. After dealing with this for about 12 Years I feel I'm 90% fixed within two weeks. It pays dividends to get help from the best! read more

As a professional singer working in a Vegas show, I never have a break. After 6+ years of straight singing, my voice had developed a slew of medical problems, forcing me to go on rest. No vocal rest, medicine, or Vegas-styled treatment helped. Looking for answers, I had friends refer me to Dr. Michael Johns at USC, and also to Amy. I flew out. He was amazing himself, and had such high remarks to say about Amy, which made me excited. She greeted me with the most welcoming, relaxing energy. She's passionate about each individual artist, wanting to learn what makes their voice unique. In just two hours I learned more than I did in 6 months. But the MANIPULATION! Ahhhh! The next day I opened my mouth and actual notes came out for the first time in... well, a long long time. It was an emotional and physical breakthrough, and I really owe a large portion of it to her. So much so, I'll be returning back in a few weeks for my next treatment. About to book my appt now! Thank you so much, Amy... for being the closest thing to a singer's miracle worker and healer. read more

I'm an attorney, but oral advocacy was never my strong suit... until I saw Amy, that is. With Amy's coaching, I am now very comfortable and confident with public speaking. She taught me how to eliminate vocal fry, and how to speak with clarity, confidence, and composure. Before I saw her, I hated the way I sounded (doesn't everyone hate how they sound on answering machines?!). Now, when I hear recordings of myself at oral arguments, I am proud of my voice, and I am confident that my audience can focus on my message, and not on the way I sound. I have referred several friends and colleagues to Amy -- including fellow attorneys, a friend seeking accent reduction, and a transgender relative seeking transgender voice therapy -- and all have been as happy as I am with their experiences, and, more importantly, with the results of her work. Amy helped my good friend prepare for medical school interviews, and he largely attributes his success to Amy's expertise! She also helped another friend prepare for his TED talk (how cool is that?!). Amy is a thoughtful, caring, and experienced vocal coach, speech therapist, interview coach, and public speaking coach. (And her vocal massage therapy is just awesome!) If you want to improve your speaking abilities and learn to deliver effective and engaging presentations, Amy is the best "voice doctor" around. read more

As a commercial voice actor, the range of my chords is vital to my craft. If they don't work, I don't work. Without Amy's progressive vocal therapy technique, I wouldn't be able to function. Her gentle touch paired with her warm demeanor, instantly put me at ease & gave me immediate confidence that I was in good hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Amy Chapman to anyone in the voice industry! read more

I was recovering from vocal surgery, and I went to see Amy and Dr Gupta. Both fantastic. Amy gave me a Larynx massage, relaxing the tissue around my voice box, and then worked with me on breathing to avoid strain on the cords. She is also a former performer so she knows exactly what you're talking about when you share your concerns. Can't recommend her enough. Since my visits, I haven't had any more vocal issues. read more

I am a high school science teacher with a large classroom and 6 sets of 40 students each day. I talk lots, and 25 years into my career, my voice was getting really tired. More and more frequently, speaking caused me pain, and I was beginning to fear that, even though I loved my job, I might have to look for a different kind of employment. I went to Amy as a referral from my MD. Amy listened to my story, listened to my speaking and singing voice, checked out my posture, and developed a plan to help me. It's now two months later, and I've been following the plan and been back for only one follow-up visit. My voice feels so much stronger. It's a Friday now, and I have taught all week and even attended choir practice, and I'm doing great. I'm very grateful. Amy is extremely knowledgeable, understanding, and compassionate. read more

Working with Amy is life changing. I have struggled all my life with an overworked voice plagued with excessive throat tension. Working with Amy 1 year, I was able to take on my impediments through focused exercises that have totally changed my delivery. And I speak with more confidence as well! My tenor range is finally expanding ironically as I learn to do less. The focus with which she brings each exercise and session has allowed me to understand how my voice works more thoroughly- and I look forward to continue studying with her. Like so many others here, I would recommend Amy's instruction to anybody who has ever struggled vocally or to any performer who is serious about improving their vocal instrument. Her background is comprehensive for those working in stage, television & film and beyond. I've been to dozens of singing teachers, speech teachers & vocal instructors over the years-- I feel lucky to have finally been able to begin to conquer my obstacles. I performed in my first musical this year! A lifelong dream. read more

Amy Chapman is a vocal magician. She's the best laryngeal manipulator. Period. That is not hyperbole. She works with a vast majority of the singer/actor community here in LA. She is our secret weapon - how we get through the demands we put on our voices. To anyone who uses their voice for a living: go to her, and thank me later. read more

Singers, go get you some Amy! She's absolutely amazing in every way. If you've been suffering from colds or work fatigue, she'll show you techniques to stay in top shape and continue to perform your best. I've been seeing her for facial/neck muscle therapeutic massage for the last couple of years, and it has helped tremendously. She is excellent emotional support as well. I've never met anyone else who does exactly what she does for vocalists, and she does it so well. I love Amy! read more

I came to see Amy after my total thyroidectomy. As a consequence of the surgery I was unable to sing a note. As a singer this was devastating to me. I was filled with despair until I found Amy. Amy has helped me strengthen my voice and resume my vocal function. Although it's not completely restored as yet (and hopefully it will be someday), I can now sing again and continue with my music ministry. Thank you Amy for your skill, sensitivity and gentle encouragement. I am so grateful! Ellie read more

As a professional singer and a voice teacher, Amy Chapman is the only voice therapist I trust for myself and my clients. Where some think that speech language pathologists are only for people with vocal problems, Ms. Chapman proves that the opposite is true. Even vocally self-aware professionals can carry laryngeal tension around with them. One of the things Amy is great at is laryngeal massage (and she's one of very few people licensed to do it), and while any teacher/coach wants our clients reduce their laryngeal tension through optimal technique, Amy shows us just how relaxed we can be, so we can work to achieve that on our own. She is able to speak two languages -- doctor/technique speak as well as the translation of that into something regular humans (my clients) can understand. She's absolutely the best, and she's also got a relaxed attitude that works well for scared people who don't like doctors' offices. I'm so thankful to be able to refer anyone who needs an SLP to such a caring, capable speech language pathologist. read more

Amy is SO awesome!! I'm a professional singer and every now and then, a busy workload or upper respiratory infection gets my vocal cords a little out of whack...which causes a massive panic attack about the state of my voice. When I've needed her, Amy has been there to calm me down and with the help of her magic hands I've been back up and running in no time. Amy is super professional and knowledgeable and has excellent bedside manner. Highly recommended to any singer who needs a little tuneup. Thanks so much Amy! read more

I am so happy to have had voice coaching from Amy Chapman. Amy is thoroughly professional and very effective in her methods and demeanor. I felt totally comfortable and I received the very best of training. I plan to return for more coaching with Amy. I would not go to anyone else. read more

After years and years of struggling with my break and head voice, Amy finally helped me break through that barrier. Amy has helped me so much with my singing technique, it's beyond words! I would highly recommend her to anyone who was looking for a caring, talented and amazing person to help with their singing or speech technique. :) read more

I have been seeing Amy for a few months now and I have been amazed at the results. I am a recording artist and actress and the last few years I have struggled with constantly losing my speaking and singing voice. I was considering getting surgery when a friend recommended that I see Amy. Even though I thought I was doing proper speaking technique there were habits I was unknowingly doing that were fatiguing my voice and my ability to do my job. Amy enlightened and empowered me by teaching me about the anatomy of my voice and what I was doing to fatigue it. Amy is a life saver because my voice is stronger than ever before, and my range and vocal stamina have also greatly improved. And now I no longer need surgery which could have potentially made my issue even worse! I'm also a huge fan of the vocal massage technique that she does, my throat has never felt more relaxed and open. I had no idea how much stress and tension I was carrying there until it was gone. Anyone who depends on their voice either through singing or speaking needs Amy in their back pocket. Her work pays for itself because I've been able to book more jobs. Amy is a confident and easy going practitioner, I always look forward to my appointments. She's transformed me by helping me relax through a very stressful experience of losing my voice and jobs regularly. Go see Amy! You'll feel so lucky to have found her like I do! read more

honestly, its worth the whole price of admission just for the neck massage! but seriously, Amy is fantastic! she showed me techniques i hadn't even dreamed of as far as working on my upper floaty register and i've been a pretty self-sufficient pro singer with "chords of steel" for 30 years. she taught me that all of your muscles in your neck are pretty related and they affect your instrument if they are tight and she knows exactly how to relieve all of that stress. when it came time to start using my instrument heavily again after my sinus surgery, i was like, "meh, i don't need a vocal therapist". boy am i glad i gave it a chance. read more
