Master Clear Speech & Accent Reduction

“Pat taught me how to get rid of my New York accent so well that I needed even more coaching to get it back for that poor poor Adriana! … It’s safe to say that I can pretty much slip into ANY accent ANYTIME thanks to my time with Pat.”

“The fact that I am able to choose to speak without a good ole West Texas accent I have to attribute to the careful attention Pat Fletcher gave to me, first in classes, and then in private coaching sessions. I comfortably use Standard American and British RP because of the solid teaching of Pat Fletcher.”

“My training with Pat Fletcher has been priceless. As a Broadway dancer and singer who wants to expand into acting, I really had to learn to adjust my breathing as well as rid myself of any regional speech. She also helped me capitalize on my unique quirks in my voice-over work. It’s truly been a pleasure learning from her.”

“Pat is a talented, caring professional. Since I am originally a New Englander, my training did not include saying R’s at the end of my sentences. Pat diligently re-taught me correct pronunciation and reinforced it… putting me on the road to ‘R’ recovery!”

“Pat Fletcher not only has an astonishing ear for language, but the most comprehensive understanding of speech and voice. I have yet to meet someone as committed to their craft. The work I’ve done with Pat is recycled every time I prepare for an acting role. It continues to guide me and I’m certain that every student who works with her will also be aptly rewarded.”

“Pat Fletcher is the person I call whenever I need dialect coaching for a role. Pat has made me aware of the sounds in my voice, which identify me as ‘un-American’ and helped me correct them. She is very knowledgeable, thorough and, fortunately, very patient. These days I’m usually able to convince most people that I’m a yank!”

“Working with Patricia demystified the mechanics of speech for me. It’s a sensible and versatile approach that has left me able to adapt my speech to any director’s request on stage and screen.”

“Pat improved my English so much, and my voice is a lot stronger as well. Most people don’t even think that I’m from Germany. I really like working on my accent by listening to her tapes. The improvement really shows.”

“I give special thanks to Patricia Fletcher for her professional guidance, instruction in voice, accent reduction, dialects, acting and overall practical information as I grow and develop as an actor here in the Big City. She was a pleasure to work with and brings a perfect mix of the theoretical and the practical. She tailored her class perfectly towards my strong and weak points so I could feel and hear real results quickly. She is a great listener, very patient and is able to physically describe and mimic your exact problems so you can go about correcting them. She is intelligent, encouraging, dedicated and made the whole experience an enjoyable one. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

“As an international actor, I know the importance of speaking with clarity on stage and film. But I was not fully aware of the accent problems that foreign actors have. Working with Patricia Fletcher has been an amazing experience…a discovery of sounds I now use to my benefit when auditioning or working. Thank you, Pat.”

"Pat is the industry's best at what she does. I’m lucky to have worked with her for almost 10 years now, and whether it’s a complicated monologue or a one-liner TV self-tape due that same day, Pat helps me work on my dialects thoroughly, accurately, and efficiently. She is an unending well of knowledge and positivity, and I always know I’m in expert hands when I work with her! "

"Thank you so much Patricia! I'm on location and filming tomorrow - booked!"

“You learn so much about the voice, how it works”.

“Patricia’s class made me aware of my breath! It’s totally changed my voice and the ease and strength with which I speak."

“Patricia is a phenomenal teacher. She bravely leads you into the subtleties of expressing more with your voice…”.

“If you value the importance of a command over the English language, and the way you sound speaking it, then I highly recommend you take a class with Patricia Fletcher."

I have worked with Patricia on any number of projects, from Shakespeare, Pinter
and Shepard to the musicals Chess and Quasimodo. No one better--in an industry
where time is always of the essence, she is swift and to the point, always managing
to bring out the best in actors.
