Joel Goldes
The Dialect Coach
I'm Joel Goldes, a veteran dialect coach with 25 years experience coaching all accents for film, TV & Broadway. I'm available to prep for auditions or productions, on-set and ADR coaching.
“…It feels right to give a rare shout-out to a dialect coach: Joel Goldes”
-- Entertainment Weekly review of Broadway’s Come From Away
In addition to most Film and Television production worldwide, the Broadway show I coach, Come From Away, and its four productions around the globe have shut down for at least a month, so I'm devoting my practice to remote learning. Performers: Use this time to learn an accent, or accents, you've always wanted. Corporate professionals: Learn the American or any other accent to help you communicate more clearly. Please contact me for rates on individual sessions and packages. All sessions conducted and recorded on Zoom, which enables you to see notes as I make them in your text on your screen.
I've been working in the ADR studio with an internationally-known pop star, localizing the dialect for pre-records for their computer-generated character.
As pilot season begins, I'm reminded that every pilot I've coached on has received a series order, including Mayans M.C., Snowfall, 24 Legacy, Gotham, The Night Shift, Awake, Memphis Beat and others.
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.
