Dialect coach Joel Goldes ensures authentic working class accents.  -- StageSceneLA reviewing Sweat

Had a phone session dialect coaching actress Laura Dekkers into an Upper Class English accent (also called RP or Received Pronunciation) and a North Cumberland accent for the Broadway premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber's new musical The Woman in White. Laura also had me record her dialogue in the respective dialects, so she could listen to them for reference (I emailed them to her as mp3 files and mailed her a backup cd.)

Spent two weeks in daily dialect coaching sessions with Svetlana Metkina, refining her Czech accent for Bobby, written and directed by Emilio Estevez and starring Anthony Hopkins.

I spent several days in the ADR studio collaborating with Laurence Fishburne, dialect coaching Ryan Phillippe as he re-records his dialogue in a Dutch accent for the upcoming feature film Five Fingers (the sound from the locations where they filmed was too noisy and unusable.

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.
