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

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

I've been back at 24 for a few episodes, coaching a North American actor into a foreign accent.

I'm teaching an actor how to speak like a great American orator for a film project.  We're studying his accent, rhythms, melody and more so that the actor can sound like him without doing a direct impersonation.

I was featured in a segment airing on England's Channel Five TV (Sky TV) teaching host Minnie Stephenson to use an American accent.  Channel Five is here in Los Angeles covering the Academy Awards.

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.
