I coached English actor Rupert Friend in a New Orleans accent and American actor Jessica Chastain in a South Carolina accent for the independent feature Jolene, based on the E.L. Doctorow short story, currently lensing in Arizona.
"And Mimi Kennedy's beautifully rendered Chicagoan accent, credited to dialect coach Joel Goldes, is icing on the cake."

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.
