Talk:Dialect coach

The well-respected etiquette rule on Wikipedia is that if you add yourself to a list of people on a long-existing page, you don't re-edit everything to place yourself first, Joel Goldes, but rather put yourself last... ;)

No I suggest you read WP:COI first, there is nothing about putting yourself first or last. ^Khukri 07:33, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article, at present, reads almost like a vanity page for Sophia Lansky. It's in need of some serious editing. 76.167.253.199 (talk) 01:59, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There, Sophia's additions have been removed --Jghampton (talk) 06:40, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Somebody added her section again. I am removing it, it's pretty much shameless promotion. DanielDPeterson (talk) 05:31, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Examples?

I'm not advocating any sort of self-promotion from people working in the field, but I'd be interested in seeing this piece expanded with some notable examples of dialect coaching. Perhaps standard methodologies could be briefly outlined. For example (if applicable, as I have no idea if these actors even required dialect coaching), I'd be curious what sort of work was needed for actors like Hugh Laurie and Ryan Kwanten to develop their remarkably (IMO) good accents for their Dr. Gregory House and Jason Stackhouse characters. And what would qualify a person to be a dialect coach? Are there professional standards or some sort of licensure/certification for the job? 72.0.15.8 (talk) 14:29, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

removal of content

this edit removed significant amounts of content, at least some of which was sourced, whiloe adding othre content. Another editor the removed the content addd by the first edit, leaving the net result as the removal of content, soem of which was sourcesd. I, in response to a Teahouse quewry, then commented out the now dangling refereces that were causing cite errors, in this later edit.

The question is, were the removals in th first edit an improvment or should they be undone? Note that if they are undone, either a full revert should be made, or the editor undoign them should be careful to restore the now commented-out refs as well. DES ^(talk) 11:34, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
