"Thank you so much for all your patience with me.  More than a teacher you have been a motivational guide who has pushed me to reach beyond my horizon."    -- Anil Kapoor (Slumdog Millionaire, 24)

In The Press

From HUFFPOST: "Joel Goldes, a veteran Hollywood dialect coach and founder of TheDialectCoach.com, said the influencer accent usually involves some 'uptalk.'”

From DC Theatre Arts: "Nancy McKeon, who made her stage debut with Pen Pals in NJ, stars as the lively Bernie, with Johanna Day, new to the NYC cast, as the somewhat more reserved and conciliatory Mags.... Both embrace the distinctive personalities and feelings of their characters, their native accents (dialect coaching by Joel Goldes), and the changing moods of their letters and lives....

From NoHo Arts District: "Everyone is English…and so am I. So I was prepared for the worst, accent wise. I was happily wrong! Everyone was pretty perfect actually, including the stars of this wonderful show, Jobeth Williams and Peter Strauss. Stars in their own right and both absolutely riveting as these long-lost lovers." -- Samantha Simmonds-Ronceros
