TESTIMONIALS:

"I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your class! You are an amazing teacher and person. I can’t wait to take another one of your classes in the future!" - Michelle Rose

"Thank you SO much for a fantastic 3 weeks.  I really loved your approach combining the energy work, since acting is energy!  As we talked about yesterday, it also definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone and made me realize the only way really do that type of work--becoming a biblical creature or melting your face off or playing a magical-powered person--is to fully believe it and get all the way passed any judgements or self-consciousness and just commit." - Haley Clair  

"Thank you for your amazing sci-fi fantasy and horror classes! I had a great time exploring my range and really enjoyed your exercises. You gave me a unique opportunity to push my boundaries as an actress." -Isa Wnek

"Thank you for a splendid class. In recent months I have been a fish out of the creative sea with a bit of a dry spell and have found myself gasping for creative air! Your class, just the ambrosia I needed!" -Kathie K.

"This was quite simply the best class I've ever taken at AC, or at any of this type of institution. Pamela's class is freeing, joyous and inspiring." -Eric Michael Gillett

"Thank you so much for everything. I had an unforgettable experience." -Ryan Salvato

"I so enjoyed the 3-week delve into Sci-Fi with you! The scenes you gave us made the class rich. I will recommend it to others. Great notes! I also loved the exercises!" -Donna Jean

"I just wanted to thank you for the last three weeks of our sci-fi/fantasy class - it was such a blast to workshop the scenes you gave me with such talented people, and the exercises you had us do really helped me get back in touch with my own physicality and what I can put into a role; it even helped me with a scene I was given for a different class entirely. Your advice was really helpful, and I'm very grateful I got to receive that insight into aspects of the genre I hadn't considered before." -Rachel Kaplan

"Hi Pam, it's Tuesday and I feel like turning into a werewolf, but there's nowhere to go. Miss you and the class. Had a great time and look forward to doing it again." -Brian Tracey

"Pamela is awesome, funny and honest. She made the class really fun." -Kassandra Rossy

"Loved that I was able to get out of my comfort zone. Scary movies have been my worst fear and I believe I've conquered that fear! Thanks, Pamela." -Taylor Jackson

"Pamela is an amazing acting teacher. I have been with her for 2 years and I appreciate her more with every class I take. I have been a Sag actor since 1986 and I have been with at least 30 different acting teachers and I have never been so challenged as I am in her classes. I have learned so much and I will continue taking her classes for as long as she continues to teach. I believe an actor should never stop his or her training." -Wylie Weeks

"This is much more than a horror class. Pamela is an excellent acting coach with clear adjustments that make a difference in the work. She is incredibly generous with her time and encouraging!" -Caitlin Davis

"Pamela's horror class is one of my fave classes I've taken. Ever." -Mike Chmiel

"I’m totally recovering from the most awesome film shoot I’ve ever been on in my life.  And I don’t see how I could ever have a better one. You say you don’t remember but I remember many years ago you telling Patrick Devaney at the Westway dinner after class to use me in a film. This experience was wonderful.  I could have never done the job I did without the experience of your classes." -Wylie Weeks
