Kenan Jr. Professor of English and of Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University. She is the author of several books on Shakespeare, including Shakespeare's Ghost Writers and Shakespeare after All, as well as of books on cultural topics ranging from dogs and real estate to cross-dressing, bisexuality, the use and abuse of literature, and the place of the arts in academic life. A member of the American Philosophical Society, she was the recipient of a 2019 Guggenheim Fellowship. As a former international 747 pilot for Delta Airlines, Capt. Pamela Almand's smooth, low-pitched voice from the flight deck calmed and reassured her passengers and crew through routine flights as well as emergencies. Now, with over a decade of professional award-winning SAG/AFTRA voice acting experience with Audie Award nominations, AudioFile Earphones Awards, and Voice Arts Awards and numerous nominations, her voice has not only enthusiastic professionalism and authority in nonfiction titles, but also conversational and compelling story-telling warmth and depth for multiple accents, genders, and ages in fiction titles. Medical, business, and technical nonfiction titles come naturally, the result not only of growing up the daughter of a Colorado cattle rancher and moving into a highly technical aviation career, but also aided by naturally clear diction and a neutral English, easy-to-understand style. Pamela is continuously honing her skills and has coached with Scott Brick, Paul Ruben, Carol Monda, Johnny Heller, Patrick Fraley and others and is an Audible Approved Producer. Pam works from her professional recording studio for clients all over the world, including Tantor, Blackstone Publishing, Brilliance Audio, Vibrance Press, Oasis Publishing, World Wide AudioBooks, Verity Publishing, Two Words Publishing, Suspense Publishing, Author's Republic, and ACX.
