“…It feels right to give a rare shout-out to a dialect coach: Joel Goldes”

                                                                -- Entertainment Weekly review of Broadway’s Come From Away

Reelz Channel, a new cable network devoted to films and filmmaking, sent a crew to my studio to record me working with a client for an interstitial about my work. It will show between longer programs as one of a series of shorts about people who work on films.

I prepped a young actor for her audition to play opposite Brendan Fraser with an English accent. She earned a callback and screentest for which she was flown to London, and was the only American girl testing against three English girls. Best wishes!

Actor Constance Zaytoun, a client in New York City, offered these words of thanks after I coached her in a Cockney accent for the premiere of Broken Hands at the Fringe Festival: "Thank you so very much. I applaud how you’re able to work this with people over the phone: you’ve developed an amazing, wonderful system. You’ve figured out an incredibly efficient way to do it: it’s very effective, even though it’s long-distance. I’ve actually gotten more from you doing this on the phone than I’ve gotten coaching with someone in person. You also have an excellent ear so you can hear exactly what I’m doing with my mouth without even seeing me.

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.
