"The dialect brings yet another distinct layer of realism, thanks to coach Joel Goldes' efforts."

I spent a few days in the recording studio keeping an ear on Max, the new voice of Volkswagen. The results may be heard here and on several TV spots now airing. Max is the classic VW Beetle.

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.

The Screen Actors Guild Foundation invited me back to teach a second seminar, this one on the General American Accent. There were over 120 actors in attendance, from all parts of the globe. SAG members: watch for upcoming LifeRaft seminars here.

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.
