"The work of dialect coach Joel Goldes, I'm happy to report, is superb."

-- The Orange County Register, 'The Drawer Boy'

I spent the wee hours of the weekend on the phone to London, patched in to GoldCrest Post, coaching my client Julia Ormond in her modified Mid-Atlantic accent for her role as reporter Lisa Howard in Steven Soderbergh's film, Guerilla. The film is being prepped for its world premiere shortly at the Cannes Film Festival, and I got to be a fly on the wall (fly in the ear?) as the actors re-recorded dialogue for scenes in the ADR (Automated Digital Recording) studio. In the scenes we worked on, Ms. Ormond's character is interviewing Che Guevara (played by Oscar-winner Benicio Del Toro) about his role in the Cuban Revolution.

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.
