Perfecting a speech pattern is the key to getting
into the skin of a character.

The Sam Chwat Method has been used successfully for 30 years by stars of major feature films, Broadway, television and radio productions.  Our Academy-Award winning and nominated clients include Robert DeNiro, Julia Roberts, Leonardo DiCaprio, Roberto Benigni, Abigail Breslin, Heath Ledger, Kate Hudson, Olympia Dukakis, Jude Law and Rachel Weisz.

Sam Chwat trained Robert DeNiro to trade his New York speech for an Appalachian accent in his Oscar-nominated role in Cape Fear; Willem Dafoe learned a Transylvanian accent for his Oscar-nominated role in Shadow of the Vampire; and Marcia Gay Harden earned her Oscar with the Brooklyn accent she learned for the film Pollack.

Sam Chwat is also known for teaching Julia Roberts and Andie MacDowell to trade their Southern accents for Standard American English before their film careers began, and Shakira on how to Americanize every lyric of all three of her English-language hit albums.

See who else has benefited from the Sam Chwat Method.
