"The dialect brings yet another distinct layer of realism, thanks to coach Joel Goldes' efforts."
-- BroadwayWorld.com, 'Eclipsed'
I coached the world premiere of the musical Mask at the Pasadena Playhouse. Based on the movie of the same name, I coached Michelle Duffy, who played Rusty Dennis, in a modified Brooklyn accent, and Suzanne Petrela, who played Angel, in a Tex-Mex accent.
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.
