I've been working with a puppeteer from Sesame Street on learning several new accents, including Standard English, Cockney, Appalachian and surfer. He's in New York, so we teleconference via iChat. It's the next best thing to being there.
“…It feels right to give a rare shout-out to a dialect coach: Joel Goldes”

I've been working with a puppeteer from Sesame Street on learning several new accents, including Standard English, Cockney, Appalachian and surfer. He's in New York, so we teleconference via iChat. It's the next best thing to being there.
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.
