"The work of dialect coach Joel Goldes, I'm happy to report, is superb."

-- The Orange County Register, 'The Drawer Boy'

Reelz Channel interviewed me about how I work, and shot some footage of me teaching their English-born reporter an American accent, as well as working with a Polish-born client of mine. The piece should air in a week or two: I'll post a link when it does.

I coached Roger Daltrey, the lead singer of the English rock band The Who, in four different accents and Spanish for his starring role in the CSI episode Living Legend on CBS. I recorded all of his dialogue in the various accents and overnighted the cd to him so he could get a headstart while he was touring with The Who, and coached him on-set as well. The episode aired on Thanksgiving night, Thursday, November 23nd, but you can see episode details here and listen to samples of Roger's dialects here.

I worked with Adrian Grenier, the star of HBO's Entourage and The Devil Wears Prada, on the set of Adventures of Power, coaching him in a Texas accent.

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.
