Steps
- Dye your hair black, use makeup to make your eyebrows brown, dark brown, or black if they are not already. She is naturally a brunette, but dyed her hair black. Now, if your hair is blonde or red or any bright color then don't worry about dying your hair extremely dark! Try putting random colors in it. That should show people you're not scared to show the real you!
- Keep your complexion clear and pale by applying sun block daily, avoiding direct, overhead sun contact, and abstaining from bronzers and self-tanners. Use a bit of concealer if you must use it to clear your face of blemishes.
- Keep your eyebrows in a pretty and natural arch shape. They should not be pencil thin or Groucho thick. Keep them groomed and either wax or pluck them if you must, just to clean them up. A clear mascara or eyebrow definer in your desired color can instantly freshen your look.
- Lead, don't follow. Amy has many quotations regarding her stand on the talentless musicians of today and how she was never a sheep. Make your mark on the world doing something you love to do, even if it's not exactly like Lee.
- Learn to sing well, but don't force your voice into an "Amy-esque" sound. Trying too hard to sound like another artist is both annoying and damaging to your vocal chords. Try your best to have a full and smooth sounding voice that suits you without being a complete Amy rip-off. If you can sing well Form a Band.
- Play piano, as Amy is a very talented pianist. Learn how to compose and play your own original music. Don't steal her chords and songs, learn to think for yourself.
- Dress in a romantic Goth style. Amy is not a hardcore Goth and her style usually leans to the flowery romantic-Goth side of the fashion spectrum. Avoid dog chains, Tripp pants, and the shaved head look. Also, remember that Amy sometimes dresses completely "normal": in jeans and a t-shirt. Mix up your fashion. If you can, buy some Victorian-like outfits, and make them very 'you!'.
Tips
- Don't be afraid to be the leader, even when you are surrounded by people that don't believe in you.
- Don't try to BE her completely (for example moving to Arkansas, changing your name to Amy Lee/Hartzler, starting a band called Evanescence, you get the picture).
- The most Amy Lee/Hartzler thing you could do is to be yourself and be completely unique without copying her!
- Remember that Amy Lee's last name is now Hartzler, but she is most commonly referred to as Amy Lee.
Warnings
- If you're already a big fan of Evanescence, don't expressively show it and go around saying things like "Amy Lee/Hartzler is my hero!!" because then people will know you're trying to be like her. As unique as Amy is, the stated fact of trying to be like her is something you should keep under-wraps.
- Your life as a musician will be hard since most people are annoyed by those copying Amy Lee/Evanescence. If you want any degree of success try to find your own unique style and sound.
- Don't start a band called Evanescence, write songs by the same name as hers or anything like that.
