America\u2019s Got Talent singer with stutter blows judges away with \u201cinspiring\u201d audition Twitter: AGTSinger-songwriter Amanda Mammana blew the minds of America\u2019s Got Talent judges with her recent audition despite suffering from a speech impediment. Auditioning in front of thousands of people, combined with knowing millions more will be watching at home is one of the hardest things a budding performer will do. Imagine being that performer\u2026 but you have a speech impediment that prevents you from saying your own name\u2026 and you have to say it in front of millions of people. That\u2019s the story of 19-year-old singer-songwriter Amanda Mammana, who deals with a stutter, and left America\u2019s Got Talent judges blown away after her audition. Amanda leaves judges windblown On July 18, Amanda took center stage for her audition for America\u2019s Got Talent and immediately was met with a speech block. As she conversed with Howie Mandel, Amanda explained that she suffers from a speech impediment, and found out that she doesn\u2019t stutter when singing. This intrigued the judges, but they were blown away as soon as she began singing a song that she created. As soon as her song ended, the crowd erupted in applause before the judges took over. Howie Mandel was the first to comment and asked what she thought about her performance. \u201cIt\u2019s crazy, there were times when I was a kid where I was like \u2018I could never do anything like this, I\u2019m not good enough,’\u201d Amanda commented. Mandel replied: \u201cGood enough doesn\u2019t explain what we just heard. It\u2019s not only good, it\u2019s great. Look how you\u2019re moving this audience and I believe you\u2019re moving millions of people at home. I just wanna say, thank you.\u201d Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, and even host Terry Crews echoed Howie\u2019s thoughts, complimenting Amanda on her courage to audition. Simon Cowell added: \u201cAmazing, Amanda. I mean come on. You spoke to us very honestly about the issues you have with your speech. It\u2019s terrifying auditioning when you don\u2019t have an issue like that, and then you\u2019re amazing. \u201cYour voice is so pure, so beautiful. And also, you\u2019re a good songwriter. You\u2019re an incredible person. I\u2019m so happy you came here.\u201d This writer has a stutter as well, and gives major kudos to Amanda for having the courage to audition in front of millions of people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
