Amanda Brunk (BMUS, MA) is a PAVA-Recognized Vocologist and Designated Linklater Teacher specializing in contemporary voice and voice habilitation. Amanda has taught in the theatre department at Sheridan College and currently instructs in and coordinates the CCM voice area at Wilfrid Laurier University. In 2016, Laurier was one of the first Bachelor of Music programs in Canada to reimagine what it means to study all genres of music at the post-secondary level and she has had the honour and privilege of being a part of that development from the beginning.

Amanda’s voice students have gone on to perform throughout Canada, on North American tours and in Broadway shows. As conductor of the Grand Philharmonic Youth Choir for eight years, Amanda led the choir to win competitions nationally and internationally, and to perform with grammy-winning recording artists and rock groups.  

Amanda is the founder and Artistic Director of The Singer's Theatre, a summer music theatre training program that attracts singers from across North America. She has served as vocal director for various cruise lines and is the proud recipient of two Professional Development Grants from the Canada Council for the Arts.

Amanda adjudicates regularly for classical, choral, pop, speech and music theatre categories from coast to coast, and most recently was invited to Bangkok, Thailand where she adjudicated young singers and gave workshops for K-Pop artists and instructors. She has served as Vice-President of the Ontario chapter of the National Association of Teachers of Singing and is a published author for the NATS Journal of Singing and VASTA Voice and Speech Review.
