"Wonderful class!" -Ta'Nika Gibson

"Paul is a great teacher! Learned so much." -Courtney De La Rigaudiere "Paul - I've had more fun, and broken more barriers, in your voice classes than just about any professional-level class I've taken recently. I appreciate your precision, care, and exactitude, and the good humor you bring to every class--a sort of 'taskmaster with a twinkle' approach that made your classes feel creative, broadening, enlivening, and fun. Your class texts are unique and professionally focused, and they're resources I draw on regularly. I especially loved your voice-for-animation classes--your enthusiasm in pushing me (and others) into new places was incredibly valuable, and best of all I gained a much deeper sense of my own creative range. Humble thanks and best wishes!" -Doug Ramsdell

"Hi Paul, Thank you again for such an amazing class!!!!! Your class has been one of the best investments I've made. I now feel I have this toolbox I can take with me to auditions which gives me such a sense of confidence. Now when I get nervous or I get a challenging piece of copy, I can run through my list of tools and not panic! What a wonderful gift you have shared with us. And I also really appreciate the generous way you open your heart every class and share parts of your story and journey with the class. I will definitely be taking more of your classes in the future, they all sound like fun and I especially want to try out audiobooks. Thanks again for everything! I'm looking forward to my next class with you & until then wishing you all the best!" -Karen Collazzo

"Unlike some workshops where you sit back and let the instructor's data wash over you, in this class, you will be busy working from the time you sit down to the time you leave. Do not register for this class expecting passive meditation on theoretical concepts. This is an effort-driven course with you doing the efforting." -Bob Makarowski

"Hey Paul, I highly enjoyed your class. Learned a ton of very effective techniques from you that I'd never been taught before. Really great stuff! You are by far the best VO teacher I've ever had -- and I've taken a good number of courses in LA with some well-established and excellent teachers. I love the passion you bring to class and that you genuinely care to see your students improve. That is so rare. You also have the gift of an unerring ear and the ability to really hone in and give precise instructions to each student. Again, thanks for such a wonderful, edifying and inspirational class!" -Leslie Valdes

"Dear Paul, You are such a gifted performer and teacher. I wish I had found you years ago. You inspire all of us to stretch our skills with your intuitive direction and encouragement, and you give us a safe space to succeed and to fail. I have learned more in your classes than I ever learned in decades of actual acting experience on camera. Nobody teaches what you teach, and I've never met a teacher with such heart. Thank you. You are a true tonic for the spirit. You've certainly changed my life." -Mary Lynn Blanks

"Paul, There's a special star in your crown up in heaven. You're more than just an artist and a teacher. You're an INSPIRER!" -James C. Lewis

"Hi Paul, I just wanted to take a moment and tell you how much your class meant to me. When we first started I was very disillusioned with my career as an actor, and I had started to think that it was maybe time for me to find something else. In fact, joining your class was a last ditch effort to see if I was really cut out for this. Every single session was so inspiring, and I learned so much from you that I feel rejuvenated. I'm at the point where I can jump back into auditioning with both feet and feel confident about my work. I know this is a corny email- but I mean every word of it. Thank you so very much.I will definitely be taking more of your classes and I look forward to working with you more in the future." -Jonathan Anderson

"Great direction and he is able to get a lot out of you. A lot of learning through listening." -Liz Damuth

"Paul, it was a great class. Even in reviewing basics I thought that I already "knew" (read: had learned and forgotten), I found myself refreshed. I came to class to get pruned, so that I could continue to grow; and that's exactly what I got. Thanks for that.And, BTW, I also booked 2 on-camera spots the day after 2 Tuesday classes. No coincidence as far as I am concerned. Looking forward to our next time together. Now, back to calming myself down through measured breaths." -Peter Flihan
