"Brilliant dialect coach" - Movie Maker Magazine, Erik Singer
"Vanderway's ear is so keen she even spruced up the British accent of a British actress." LA Times, Hugh Hart
"Saved my a--"- EW, Oscar Nominee
“Every single piece of advice and direction Pamela has ever given me has turned out to be PURE GOLD and has moved my career forward by leaps and bounds!” CL, Director
"Pam understands that actors struggle, and they have plateaus, and they have breakthroughs. She makes them feel very safe, yet she's very clear when you're not doing it right." MS, Director
“It can be difficult for me to break out of a ‘being a good student’ mentality when working with people who are helping me to learn. Pamela has such an ease about everything that it makes me start to relax.” WW, Actor
“Pamela is incomparable at recognizing your specified needs regarding accent acquisition, right from the first moment she listens to you speak. She is very specific, efficient and peerless in her modus operandi. As an actor born and raised in India, it feels fulfilling and empowering to be told that casting personnel feel beyond comfortable casting me in American roles.” AD, Actor
"Her dialect fittings are an amazing experience — so insightful." HJ, VO Actor
“Pamela took the time and listened to my personal experience with previous coaches and my journey on trying to get the American accent right as a Hungarian. She had the ability to just hit the exact spots that I have been struggling with just a few minutes after being on the phone with her, not only in terms of certain sounds but the psychological aspect of one’s fear of losing their identity when learning a new accent, and the anxiety that comes with performing and competing in LA as a foreigner. ” GT, Actor
"Language is complex, and the way she maneuvers around the intricacies is a work of art." GL, Actor
