Pamela Almand

Voice Description

From deep, sexy, and sulty to the authoritative and confident professional captain's voice for technical, medical, industrial narration, Pamela has a wide range of color and style.

She adds the friendly, conversational warmth of a smile in her voice, adding "nice" to narrations, and interest to industrials, but as a past international airline captain, she can take control immediately with firm, imperative authority and smooth, reassuring confidence.

Pam's voice can be soft and calming, or shrill and cutting; a precisely-clipped blue-blood or southern belle's slow drawl.

Industrial/corporate/medical narrations bring out the clear confidence and warm authority in her voice and her diction and pronunciation are excellent. Pam can make e-learning fascinating and fun and provides telephone messaging you really listen to!

My Voice Experience

If you want reliability and top quality, professionalism and integrity...along with quick turnarounds and on-time performance... you rely on your pilot! As a past international 747 captain for a major airline, Pamela Almand has been behind a mic for over 25 years!

A national Tylenol spot jump-started her voiceover and on-camera career in 1995, followed by corporate narration for airline companies, AFL-CIO groups, regional spots for Northwest Airlines, Johnson & Johnson, Lexus; medical/industrial/technical work for corporations large and small throughout the world, including AT&T, Cephalon Pharmaceuticals, SmartBoard, Avalon, Hudson Marine Int'l. and Delta Airlines as well as national, regional, and local radio and television work both on-camera and off-camera.

Pamela served as national spokeswoman for Cessna Aircraft Company for several years on a national tour which included nationwide media appearances and speaking engagements. She has continued speaking to industry groups, civic groups, schools and charitable organizations about her experiences as a female airline pilot in the early days of women in the industry.

Clients have included Northwest Airlines, Carrier, AT&T, Cephalon Pharmaceuticals, Delta Airlines, Johnson & Johnson, Hudson Marine International, Tylenol, Air Line Pilots Association, McNeill Pharmaceuticals, Brumos Porsche, Lexus, and Mercedes, Sony,B-Forex, Avalon, Cessna Aircraft Company, SmartBoard, and many others around the globe.

Additional Skills

In Pam's words: "The years I've spent behind the cockpit door on a hand-held mic have served me well! I can be authoritative and commanding as necessary for a captain to instill confidence and reassurance to my passengers or move them with alacrity when I need them moved.

I can soothe them with calm and smooth professionalism or make them smile and chuckle to ease their fears.

Through the unique perspective of being one of the initial cadre of female airline pilots, in addition to voiceover work, I have done a tremendous amount of public speaking to all ages and from all walks of life. My voice can impart a sense of security, safety, humor, confidence, or rigid discipline in these settings, or jump to sexy and smoky, funny, laugh-out-loud humor or sharp-tongued dry wit in other situations."
