1993 - 2011: Creative, Artistic & Prolific Youth

Amanda was born in São Paulo State (Campinas City, Brazil). When 5, she began experimenting with all kinds of art, from plastic arts, painting and jewelry design to acting, dancing and performing.

At 12, she joined Maestro Ivan Silva Music Conservatory, to study Music Theory, Singing, and Classical Guitar, when she moved from São Paulo to Minas Gerais State.

During her studies, she was the spalla of the Classical Guitar Orchestra and a contralto, mezzo-soprano, and soprano singer in choirs, with which she performed in international festivals and theaters.

In parallel, she learned the piano by herself and started writing poetry.

When 16, she was invited by a publishing company to publish a book of stories called "Buquê de Palhetas e outros contos", with an authorial illustration.

At 17, she had already:

  • composed +100 pieces for voice, piano and acoustic guitar;
  • performed on stage in international festivals (piano solo, choir, theatre, symphonic orchestra, and classical guitar orchestra);
  • and had participated in 5 exhibitions with her writings and plastic art.

Even though her artistry was supported during her youth, when it came to deciding on a career, everyone expected her to be a doctor/physician.

2011 - 2012: Amanda de Andrade & the Medical Career, a Tragic Break of Expectations

Her family was mostly composed of engineers, educators and physicians.

So it made sense that by being an exceptional student, she was destined to enter the most concurred course in Brazil - the Medical School. And she did it.

She was admitted to fifteen Universities, both for Engineering and Medical bachelors.

At the age of 18, Amanda reluctantly moved to Viçosa to study at the Federal School of Medicine. However, she gave up on the course, leaving her furniture behind in the apartment and traveling on the first plane to the South of Brazil to study Music.

I remember that day very clearly... I had everything ready for the next day - tickets, luggage, money, everything. I felt I was obliged to at least call my family and let them know that I was leaving everything behind. And the news was received in the worst-case scenario.

I hadn't prepared myself for that. Things got out of my control. Yes, I knew everyone would be disappointed and regretful towards me - but I didn't expect that everybody would really take action against my decision, trying to prevent me from flying. It was hard to sleep that night before the flight and at sunrise, I grabbed more than I could possibly carry and left even more behind me.

I was alone with 7 suitcases, a guitar on my back, a bag full of books, my entire life, all around me at the airport. I still don't know how I managed to carry all that weight. I also don't know how I managed to feel so confident and obstinate while everybody was furious telling me to give up on my crazy plans.

At the airport and at the hotel, authorities and +20 family members tried to prevent her from flying, but there was nothing that could be done - she was already of legal age.

That embarrassing situation lasted 10 days, and finally, she was a thousand miles away to start a new life, meet her to-be husband and study music.

My family's mobilization was colossal. At the same time, I understand why everyone was sad and desperate. But it was my life that was at stake.

I was taking a huge step towards music and freedom, but I can't say I was 100% happy and proud at that moment. I also felt sadness and shame. But at the same time I knew I couldn't give up or regress one inch. I kept strong, with my ears shut. I won by endurance.

2012: A Love Story Amidst a Family War

Only 4 people knew what I was about to do in that February 2012 - one of them being now my husband, Diego. We had known each other on Twitter 4 months before and it was love at first glance, or better, at first tweet.

Now that a decade has passed, it's funny to think that I could have done everything I wanted in life. I could have been successful and reasonably happy being a doctor, scientist, psychologist, engineer, lawyer... When I completed high school, I had the grade to go to whatever College I wanted.

I guess that huge variety of options overwhelmed me... but this weight also catalyzed my decision towards what I really was crazy about: art, music, sound and voice. Not to mention the love of my life, who was waiting for me in Santa Catarina when I arrived. We hadn't been with each other before 28 February 2012, the day when I arrived in Florianopolis, yet he supported me during the most difficult days of my life.

2015: It's Time for Amanda to Have a Voice

In 2015, while she was working strictly with Music Production, Orchestration and Audio Engineering, her husband suggested she search for voice-over.

Before I started recording voice-overs, in 2015, I was already very familiar with the audio and sound industries. I was really focused on Music, Composition and Scoring at that time. However, as I had been studying a lot about oratory, oral communication and singing too - remember, voice is my passion number 1 - I felt a strong attraction towards voiceover. So I took his suggestion very seriously, and I produced my first voiceover demo and... then the magic happened. Clients were always happy and the jobs were always multiplying. I never stopped since then.

My activities flowed naturally from sound and music to voice-over and narration. It was like I had been prepared my whole life for this. My passion for colors, timbres, poetry, language, subtleties, design, stories, sounds and impressions, form and content, emotions... everything led me to express myself through voice. When I act and use my voice, I bring to the table all I've learned, experimented with, discovered, researched, was gifted with and created in all areas of my life and my characters' lives.

Improving The World and Her Community

The project's goal was to entertain and educate children through videos, lessons and supporting material on Music Theory and Classical & Folk Guitar techniques.

However, the hand-drawn animation combined with the 18-year-old girl's charisma brought additional interest to the initiative and allowed the project to reach a Brazilian public of all ages. Access to the content was free.

What does Amanda's voice sound like?

She mainly serves clients with her:

  • young, irreverent, authentic and colloquial voice, with a warm tone and a fresh scent for Generations Y (millennials), Z and Alpha;
  • or mature, raw, genuine and confident voice that conveys respect and authority, in a natural and unaffected way.

Whether her voice is young or mature, Amanda stands out for her ability to speak without sounding like she is reading and her creativity when improvising, memorizing texts and simulating real-life scenarios.

Accessible, genuine, calm, orange, yellow, spicy, in jeans, robust, energetic, bold, loose, light, confident, friendly, powerful and empowered are some adjectives with which her voice is most identified.

Her natural, everyday voice is a contralto and she is between 25-40 years old. It is naturally soft, firm, round and rich in frequencies.

The third most requested vocal profile is more controlled, sophisticated, light, classic, luxurious and delicate.

My voice is naturally warm, deep and comforting - this is how you will hear me when I am being Amanda, whether I am excited, angry or contemplative (laughs). However, the most requested voice, without a doubt, is somewhere an octave higher: my younger, energetic, casual and super happy self.

Clients also benefit from her acting, musical and creative skills to create impersonations, characters, ages, extreme emotions, new timbres and specific vocal attributes in Brazilian Portuguese and American or Transatlantic English.

The vocal skills she has learned over the past decade have broadened her techniques and deepened her palette to endless and continually new colors and nuances.

I like to think of my voice as a canvas. On this blank canvas, I have painted for my clients the voice of a robot, a male football player, an AI, a grumpy fox, a fairy, a bitter warrior, a sour villain who plays with poison, a loving mother, Greta's stepmother and even a baby. [...]

What's Amanda's way of Working with Voice-over?

For the past 3 years, Amanda has been conducting independent research on Voice and Sound in conjunction with Psychology, Trends, Behavioral Response, Sound Design and Psychoacoustics.

The result of this research is modern/contemporary voiceovers that are successful and bring results to companies and brands.

Amanda has a VO Design framework to create voiceovers that work for different types of projects, regardless of style or niche.

The framework is based on vocal attributes, sound parameters and psychoacoustic research. This framework is updated monthly with insights and data from projects, user feedback, experiments and discoveries about voice.

By combining artistic direction and client preferences with her own framework, she plans her performance based on solid and measurable results.

Clients usually approve their completed recordings on the first delivery - this is an indicator that planning the performance within her framework has led to faster production stages.

Additionally, her systematic approach to voiceover projects has helped businesses and brands grow across many industries.

  • Being the main internal announcer voice for Amazon Music, since 2022;
  • Being the lead Portuguese voice of Nike Training Club, one of the top 3 Fitness Apps by Forbes;
  • Creating revenue and growing interaction for the most sold apps for Mindfulness, Meditation and Well-being on Google Store;

In the last decade, I’ve designed and recorded voice-overs for the top brands and most profitable companies in the world. By approaching voice-over recording artistically as well as scientifically, I provide tactical, novel vocal sound design for growth.

I help my clients build and implement these designs by applying my framework in a simple offline recording (when the client gives instructions and direction and then I record alone, on my own) or in a live-directed, online, remote recording session (when we can interact and apply my framework in real-time, like we were recording and exchanging ideas inside the same room).

Amanda's Specialization and Expertise on Meditation, Mindfulness & Well-being

Since her very first project, she's been an insider in Well-being, Self-Help and Meditation ecosystems.

She has had the privilege of being cast and invited to be part of more than 18 world-leading companies in Mental and Body Health.

Only to mention a few: Nike, Asana Rebel, Lojong, Wellness Coach, Sensa, Meditopia, and The Tapping Solution.

I simply knew that life was inviting me to dive in and I felt the urge to surrender myself to its mysteries.

Amanda's Expertise in Children's Education and Acting & Characters

The other 2 areas she's a specialist in are Voiceover for Children's Education & Entertainment and Character Development for Storytelling, Animation & Games.

Working with children is natural for me. Not only because I'm a mother, or because I love to learn and teach, but especially because I am sensitive and compassionate to children's development as I have been teaching children for many years. My husband dedicated his Academic studies to Education and Literature, and I've learned much from him and applied it in all my projects focused on children, from alphabetization and elementary school with Go Kids, passing through ESL courses as Just Right Reader, to secondary and high school with Discovery Education project.

Well, character development is what I've been doing since I started writing at 12 (laughs). I have hundreds of characters, voices, stereotypes and creatures in my mind. I've released some of them in my stories, drawings and songs, but they won't stop multiplying. To polish their expression, I've been deepening my acting skills and studying character development in all aspects: visual, motion, vocal and linguistic.
