Joel Goldes
The Dialect Coach
I'm Joel Goldes, a veteran dialect coach with 25 years experience coaching all accents for film, TV & Broadway. I'm available to prep for auditions or productions, on-set and ADR coaching.
“…It feels right to give a rare shout-out to a dialect coach: Joel Goldes”
-- Entertainment Weekly review of Broadway’s Come From Away
Joel coached Irish actor, Patrick Gibson, as the title character in the hit prequel, Dexter: Original Sin for Showtime/Paramount+. More here.
Joel coached the entire cast of a pilot episode in English accents, and every pilot Joel has coached on-set has received a series order. Fingers crossed!
Joel coached 14 actors for The Perfect Couple on Netflix, including Irish, English and Indian actors in American accents, Scottish to English, and several local, Massachusetts accents. Hear some of their natural accents 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.
