Joel is coaching French and Italian accents for the musical feature Lucky Stiff, directed by Broadway's Christopher Ashley.  Joel previously collaborated with Mr. Ashley on Memphis, which won the Tony Award for Best Musical.

I've invented an accent for After Earth, starring Will and Jaden Smith and directed by M. Night Shyamalan for Sony.  It's set 1000 years in the future after humans have left Earth.  I'm coaching the entire cast on-set, including Sophie Okonedo and Zoe Kravitz. Watch for it June 7, 2013.

I coached an actor in a foreign accent for MTV promos featuring a national brand.

I look forward to working with you.
