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

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

I prepped Kevin Costner in his Boston accent for The Company Men, and he's been getting great reviews:  

"His finest character acting in years." -- Entertainment Weekly

“A pluperfect Kevin Costner, replete with Boston accent.” -- NY Observer

“Kevin Costner, as Bobby’s carpenter brother-in-law, does the finest character acting of his career.” -- Entertainment Weekly

“...superb and amazingly laid-back in this supporting role.” -- Movieline

“And, boy, does Costner get inside Jack....”. -- TIME Magazine

“Kevin Costner, commanding in a supporting role.” -- Time Out NY

“...his best work in decades.” -- NY Post

“Director John Wells gets natural, vulnerable performances from his cast, ...(including) the sardonic Costner. Their Boston accents are up to the task....” -- Huffington Post

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.
