“…It feels right to give a rare shout-out to a dialect coach: Joel Goldes”

                                                                -- Entertainment Weekly review of Broadway’s Come From Away

One of my English clients, Mark Aikin (he's actually from Northern Ireland, originally), recently filmed his first role using the American accent we've been working on, on CSI: Miami. Congratulations, Mark!

My client Caryn West booked the lead role in Seattle Rep's workshop of Temple, a new musical based on the life of Temple Grandin, a high-functioning autistic who designs slaughterhouses. I helped Caryn prep the voice and dialect for her audition, then coached her by phone from Seattle after she booked the role.

I recently reunited with my old (young) client, Aaron Fors, and we polished his English acccent for Disney's Movie Surfers for the UK and Scandinavian markets.
