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

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

I was seen (by my mom and several clients) on The Oprah Winfrey Show last week, in a clip from the documentary series Black. White. The show follows a black family and a white family who "switch races" using advanced Hollywood makeup techniques, in order to get a first-hand look at what it's like to be part of another race. I helped the families learn how to sound appropriate to their new race, and if the Oprah show is any indication, I should appear in the documentary as well (look for me wearing a blue shirt). Black. White. debuts on the F/X Network Wednesday, March 8th at 10 PM E/P. Click here for more details and to view the trailer.

This week, I've been prepping actor Tyler Hoechlin in a Cajun accent for his role in Daniel Myrick's (The Blair Witch Project) new film, Solstice.

I was on the set for a detergent commercial for the UK market, working with two very talented English actors, helping them refine their Manchester accents.

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.
