In The Press

From Melbourne, Australia's catalyst: "Part of the rehearsal process was working with master dialect coach, Joel Goldes to inhabit the Gander accent, along with all the other accents depicted.

From Miryam's Theater Musings: "Dialect coach Joel Goldes had to have been extremely busy with the multitudes of accents called for by international passengers.

From WIRED: "But pesky foreign accents, rooted as they are in our brains' incomplete library of sounds, can be trained away. Joel Goldes is an accent coach based in Hollywood. He works with everyone from actors trying to sound right for a part to foreign business people who want to be free of their linguistic liability. He says his experience fits with the scientific research. "Our brains really block us from hearing what we’re hearing. Until someone is taught to form the new sounds, they don’t hear them. That’s why a person can be in a country 30 to 40 years without losing their accent," he said."
