    Testimonials

    Patricia presented to my Women In Animation voiceover group. She taught us how to find appropriate speaking pitch levels to maximize our vocal strength and tone. And she taught us how to enhance our speech by reading voiceover scripts rhythmically and poetically. Her handouts were great. She was beyond professional in every way.

    Patricia is a rare find - a most wonderful teacher of voice and life, who challenges and yet can laugh, and has patience beyond belief... I highly recommend Patricia for anyone wanting to grow personally and vocally.​

    As host of Wild Kingdom, I needed to keep my voice in tip-top shape. Patricia shared valuable insights on how I can manage breath and support to energize my sound and keep my voice strong and healthy.​
