"The work of dialect coach Joel Goldes, I'm happy to report, is superb."
-- The Orange County Register, 'The Drawer Boy'
I'm coaching the Pasadena Playhouse production of Orson's Shadow. The production features actors playing Orson Welles, Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh, Joan Plowright, Kenneth Tynan and an Irish stagehand, so I'm coaching English accents as well as modified Mid-Atlantic for the Welles character. The cast includes Sharon Lawrence, Charles Shaugnessy, Bruce McGill and Scott Lowell.
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.
