I started from ground zero - legit no music experience and the only DAW I used was garage band for podcast recording. I wasn't 100% sure that this course content [DAWlphin Mothership Sounds 101] was what I was looking for, but it turned out to be SO MUCH MORE than I could have imagined! I was so lost on where to begin this journey and after completing this course I know exactly what I need to do for my specific music goals. I also found my new favourite DAW to work in!! Ametaphor is such an amazing teacher - the lessons were packed with info and she always took time to answer my many questions and make sure the lot of us were all understanding/keeping up with the course content. I would highly recommend this course to anyone on their music journey!!

5 out of 5 stars – A Truly Transformative Experience

…I now feel confident using MIDI to bring the sounds in my head to life and fully realize my song ideas. I also gained a whole new appreciation for Ableton Live — a tool I hadn’t previously considered for live performance. Thanks to Ametaphor, I now have the skills to design the live vocal effects and sonic world I imagine for the stage.

What sets Ametaphor apart is not only her technical expertise, but her heart. She shares essential industry knowledge in a way that makes the journey from amateur to professional feel achievable. Her coaching demystifies the business side of music, which is so often overlooked by emerging artists. She shows how understanding distribution, sync licensing, live shows, and more can turn your creative dream into a sustainable reality.

I reached out to Ametaphor because, after praying for months for someone to fall out of the sky singing Light Language, I see this beautiful girl singing Light Language on my IG. And it’s not common to see people singing it. Like holy sh*t this is the person I’ve been praying for.

…With Ametaphor, she knows what I like. I can come at her like: this is my vision, this is how it sounds. And she’ll manifest it into something way bigger than what I had in mind. It’s become perfect. Manifested from Source into reality.

"I was really afraid that I wasn’t going to be able to properly articulate what I wanted with the music. I had the vision and I needed someone with the technical abilities to bring it to life. You brought it to life, and the cover of Creep was just unbelievable. I was SO excited to start showing people that because you made it so ethereal, haunting, and really beautiful, and everyone who heard it was just like, “That was really amazing.” This beautiful human being took my idea for Creep and made it into something so incredible. They are so smart, talented and kind, and I love that she's a follower of mine who became a collaborator and friend. You're amazing! 💕"

"Working with Ametaphor ain't just an experience, it's an adventure into what I like to call sonic design. Her method of studying and precisely noting your creative process and habits is both reassuring and motivating. I learned vocal recording in Ableton Live in a matter of weeks, all due to her thorough and detailed workshops, both in person and via Zoom. Under her coaching, I was able to maximize my efficiency as a vocal artist and spoken word poet. Imagine getting patchwerk-level vocal engineering & mixing for a reasonable price: that's what it's like working with her. I would imagine her being a highly decorated surgeon in another lifetime the way she treats vocals with prestige and precision. Highly spiritual and energy-based, Ametaphor intricately crafts an inspirational safe haven for your artistry, reinforcing an everlasting confidence that trickles into your work. And she a real one 💯. Y'all better lock in with her before she's too famous to get a hold of!"

"I can't thank you enough for this amazing piece of art that is so representative of my energy as an individual and I just wanted to take a moment to say how impressed I am with everything you do! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even be in this space and I gotta give praise to all the educational content that you create across all social media platforms to inform the GP about blockchain and web3 tech, especially towards musicians like myself. I'm honestly blown away everytime I hear a song that you have worked on, created or participated In and the same goes for these amazing pixel art projects you have made for your community members, they are all beautiful, just like you and I really just wanted to take some time to let you know how amazing you are and how grateful I am to be considered part of your Community, but really and truly I cannot WAIT to be able to make some tunes with you and learn from you because I hold you in such high regards and I hope you always know that Namaste Sistar!

Award-Nominated Artist, Multigenre Music Producer, Writer, Creative Clarity Coach

"This experience was really amazing especially ‘cause I've never done anything like this before. I've never had guidance on recording and in real-time; I've always just kind of tried to do lessons not recording, and then try to jump in with that skill, but it's so helpful to do it in real-time because it does give me a lot more creative clarity and confidence. I'm able to see better where my strengths are and where my areas of growth are - things that I didn't even notice about my enunciation. I would practice with singers that would not want you to enunciate as much. I'm so focused on projecting cause I felt like that would take away from the production, but knowing things that you told me - it’s really helpful to see that that's actually something that can strengthen my singing! So, overall this was really awesome because this was way more seamless than if I had just done this alone.”

“Shana has this impressive ability to identify how you flow as a musician and adjusts her lessons to help you understand the process in your own way. She is a graduate of Icon Collective and has a depth of knowledge in her arsenal besides music production such as classical music theory/vocal coaching. If you are looking for a mentor that will explain the process of creating music in a much bigger picture than just showing you what knobs to turn, she is a teacher that will help guide you to becoming a complete musician!”

I felt that my overall vocal production and clarity was expedited within 10 mins into my first lesson! All it took was a few exercises for her to hear where my voice was currently and she was already fine tuning kinks out of my voice. This was a virtual lesson too!! I was amazed! She not only helps one understand the science of singing but also, the conceptual metaphors she applies really help one to visualize the feeling of proper technique! This helped me greatly in adjusting to this new knowledge. Her gentle reminders help to keep you mindful when going through the exercises. She uses such a wide variety of techniques that she can easily find the ones that best fit to benefit your personal practice. She provided so much perspective and clarity that I now feel much more optimistic about obtaining my vocal goals. She is down to earth, open minded and understanding. If you truly want to invest in your voice, book a lesson with this unique artist!
