"impeccable Swedish accents, coached by Joel Goldes."  -- BACKSTAGE WEST, 'O PIONEERS!'

I coached the world premiere of the musical Mask at the Pasadena Playhouse. Based on the movie of the same name, I coached Michelle Duffy, who played Rusty Dennis, in a modified Brooklyn accent, and Suzanne Petrela, who played Angel, in a Tex-Mex accent.

I paid a visit to La Mirada to coach the accents in Driving Miss Daisy, including 2/3 of the cast from the Rubicon's 2004 production, Michael Learned and Lance Nichols.

I returned to the Rubicon Theatre in Ventura to coach the dialects for William Inge's Bus Stop, including Missouri, Mid-Atlantic, Ozarks, and Montana.

My past acting and directing experience uniquely qualifies me as a dialect coach: not only can I guide you in the subtleties of a new accent, I can also help you explore sound possibilities within the character's given circumstances.

I look forward to working with you.
