Airline Captain for Northwest Airlines flying internationally and doing PA's in several different languages (Pam did cockpit announcements in Japanese, Spanish, and believable Dutch) Public speaking and emcee work all over the world has given Pamela a connection and understanding of people and cultures that helps her voice resonate and "click" with listeners and audiences from all backgrounds. 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." She soothed them with calm and smooth professionalism and made 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, Pamela Almand has done a tremendous amount of public speaking to all ages from all walks of life. Her voice can impart a sense of security, safety, humor, confidence, rigid discipline as situations warrant, or jump to sexy and smoky, funny, laugh-out-loud humor or sharp-tongued dry wit whenever needed.
