Sanskrit: परमात्मा

I heard the expression (paramatma) in a mantra by Deva Premal and my impression was she was pronouncing it more like "paramatama" (with an "a" or maybe just a shwa between t and m). I was wondering if this was the usual way you pronounce it or was it just due to keeping up with the melody? 

My personal take is that it should be like "aatmaa" आत्मा and not "aatamaa" आतमा , means there should not be "a" in between or full pronounced "ta" त . It is half त्
