Executive Voice Coaching
“As a strategy consultant and business school professor, I am often asked for advice: my advice is to call Pamela to help you with your public speaking… There’s a reason why actors sound so good — they have voice coaches. Pamela has the rare skill of knowing how to coach those of us who aren’t actors. Each session with Pamela is a workout and it is also good fun.”

Voice Coaching for Actors
“The British accents are impeccable, but you stop hearing them pretty quickly in the Yale Repertory Theater production of the new play “Happy Now?” ”

“Our hour together made all the difference as my producer and recording engineer at Simon & Schuster would heartily attest to.”

Laughing Voice
“I was surprised to find it easy and natural. I always thought you had to have a reason to laugh. You have a feeling you are doing something very good for the world. My Parliament seems to be a perfect place to apply the skills!”

Voice Coaching for Curious Humans
“I have loved working with Pamela. I had no idea what to expect, and what I have learned has touched on so many aspects of my life. I have a deeper understanding of how my thoughts affect my body. I have learned how to release in order to breathe, which has brought greater dimension to my expression, in my work as an artist, writer and speaker, but also in everything else that I do, from physical exercise, to meditation, performing, and watching others performing. I am not a natural performer, but Pamela has given me the tools that I need so that I no longer suffer from stage fright, and am able to fulfill my duties on a podium with an ease that I would not have expected several years ago.”

Accent and Diction Training for Non-Native Speakers
“As English is my second language, I tried some of the ESL (English Second Language) training courses offered by various linguists and language training centers. At the end of the trainings, I was even more frustrated… The training with Pamela Prather definitely helped me to reach the ultimate goal – speaking clear and effective English in both business and social environments. I am very grateful for Pamela Prather’s coaching, help and friendship.”

Dialect Coaching for Actors
“Pamela’s work has been show-saving! I’m slow with dialects and therefore terrified of them and entered our first sessions with fear and trembling. But she made the principles so accessible and her energy was so encouraging that I caught on more quickly than I’d ever expected and soon found myself acting with the dialect rather than in spite of it! I still don’t know how she does it, but what she accomplishes is liberating. She’s a truly gifted collaborator!”

Dialect/Accent Coaching for Productions
“Pamela Prather is a gifted voice and speech coach who forged sympathetic and genuinely helpful relationships with all seven actors in the company of The Psychic Life of Savages. Much of the play’s depth and humor depended on actors credibly reciting poetry as poets: to this task, Pamela brought her research, listening and teaching skills, giving the production much needed specificity. It was a pleasure to work with her.”

Life Coaching
“The life coaching that I have done with Pamela has been more than invaluable. In less than 3 months I was able to totally envision a new direction for my career and book a high paying job in Singapore. My sessions with her were both productive and deeply healing. Thank you Pamela!”

“I’m an actress, so working with Pamela was wonderful. She was very aware of the life style and challenges. She was so supportive and was a bright light when I needed it. Pamela allowed me to throw a million ideas at her and she helped zero in on the most pressing, and allowed me to refocus and gain clarity. Use her!! Some great ideas from our brainstorming have been made a reality because of her encouragement!”
