"Patricia Fletcher is one of the finest dialect coaches it has been my pleasure to work with. The clarity, efficiency, and effectiveness of her approach are remarkable: she gets great results, fast. Her warmth and humor make the experience a joy. Patricia is the first person I recommend to professional actors looking to perfect a dialect, and I have gotten wonderful feedback from them on their experiences with her -- and witnessed the results on-stage. She is a masterful teacher, a generous collaborator, and a gift to actors at any level of experience who are fortunate enough to work with her.”
Daniela Varon, Director
