From the South Pasadenan: “With this show I’m tasked with not only maintaining the accents in the show; making sure that in the months between my visits the actors don’t get into habits that make them sound like they’re from somewhere else, or strengthen or weaken their accents.”
From San Diego Magazine: "It’s a tremendous credit to the director, choreographer, lighting designer (Howell Binkley), and dialect coach (Joel Goldes) that these transitions are never anything but crystal clear: No matter how many scenes and personas we swap through, you always know exactly where you are and who’s talking to whom.
From Mark My Words: "The reason I mention this is that the actors themselves flip between being ‘Come From Aways’ and locals at the flip of a coin, and this is all dictated by the way that the characters hold themselves as well as their command with their accents. It truly blew my mind how some of these actors flipped from American to Newfoundland to British within a couple of minutes, and credit must be given to Dialect Coach Joel Goldes because that is a phenomenal accomplishment in this production."
