About the Author

   Hi! My name is Pamela Adams, and I am a vocal coach. Notice I don't call myself a voice "teacher," or "instructor," or "resident expert" or anything like that. The reason why is because I like to incorporate coaching into my lessons. This includes:

   -Having a safe atmosphere so you're comfortable exploring your voice.

   -Creating awareness of your body and what it is doing.

   -Helping you create individual goals for your voice.

   -Targeting what is keeping you from those goals.

   -Recognizing and celebrating your progress!

   I have noticed that a lot of voice teachers tend to take a talented voice and squish it into a certain sound or genre like a toddler pushing play-doh into a mold. I do not want this to ever happen. Every one has a unique voice, and trying to obtain a certain sound from every voice can actually do a lot of damage to the voice box. I have experienced some of this myself, but I will spare you the sob story--at least for now. But know that I understand vocal damage.

   The frustration that I experienced with my voice lead me to find the Bristow Method. It is a method based on improving YOUR voice in healthy ways so that you can sing with freedom. I have taken quite a bit of this method and added my own personal twist to it. But the most important part of my method is YOU and your needs.
