"RYAN PHILLIPPE ACQUITS HIMSELF ADMIRABLY, EVEN DOWN TO THE ELUSIVE DUTCH ACCENT (COACHED BY JOEL GOLDES)."
-- VARIETY, REVIEWING 'FIVE FINGERS'
"The work of dialect coach Joel Goldes, I'm happy to report, is superb."
"Joel Goldes ensured that pure New Orleans is spoken here."
Ryan Phillippe was praised by Variety, the show business bible, for his dialect work in the Twentieth Century Fox film, Five Fingers: "Phillippe acquits himself admirably, even down to the elusive Dutch accent." I worked with him in the ADR (Automated Date Recording) studio, in sessions directed by Laurence Fishburne.
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.
