I love how Pamela teaches you how to teach yourself how to create an accent. The technology is repeatable and while I would certainly work with her again, it's nice that the technique is sustainable. I would 100 percent recommend her!

Pamela took the time and listened to my personal experience with previous coaches and my journey on trying to get the American accent right as a Hungarian. She had the ability to just hit the exact spots that I have been struggling with just a few minutes after being on the phone with her, not only in terms of certain sounds but the psychological aspect of one’s fear of losing their identity when learning a new accent, and the anxiety that comes with performing, competing in LA as a foreigner.

I could not have had a better experience working with Pamela as my accent coach! She is patient, present, and precise; and works with your specific learning style to make sure that you have the tools to be able to do the work on your own. I always appreciate her ability to correct any bad habits or even course correct before they are formed. She is the perfect balance of challenging and encouraging. I think her sessions are fun and I always came away learning something new.

Pamela is incomparable at recognizing your specific needs regarding accent acquisition, right from the first moment she listens to you speak. She is very specific, efficient, and peerless in her modus operandi. As an actor, born and raised in India, it feels fulfilling and empowering to be told that casting personnel feel beyond comfortable casting me in American roles.

It can be difficult for me to break out of a “being a good student” mentality when working with people who are helping me to learn. Pamela has such an ease about everything that it makes me start to relax.
