Paul developed an established reputation as a stage actor (principally with the Brussels American Theatre Company) and voice-artist. rnrnAn award-winning voice actor, Paul started his career around the age of three when, at his mother’s knee, he displayed an unusual talent for performing Lenny the Lion impressions. Paul has since provided a variety of character voices for animated films, children’s stories, corporate videos, language courses, museum and walking guides, as well as recordings produced by Ludlow’s Dog Rose Trust for the visually impaired, including the award-winning Acoustic Fingerprint Guides to Coventry and Lichfield Cathedrals. rnrnIn recent years, Paul was a second-placed finalist out of over 16,000 entrants in the national Voice of the Year competition run by The Times with Naxos Audio Books and thus contributed (in one take) over 20 character voices for Naxos Audio Books’ anniversary recording of the Flying Trunk, in the ‘Tales of Hans Christian Andersen’:rnrnhttps://www.amazon.com/The-Flying-Trunk/dp/B00HCRTAKKrnrnOne 2022 children’s book author wrote (about an audition Paul submitted for his audio book):rnrnMy wife and I have just spent the last few minutes laughing at your fantastic narration. You brought the book to life, the voice you gave the Chukka Bird was first class. I loved your pace, nice and relaxed, it allowed the story to unfold, it never felt rushed. rnrnSo far as the timescales are concerned, I am happy to wait, there is no point in saying no to you, only to find myself having to accept someone who is a distant second best!!!!.... rnrn…in conclusion, a great narration, wonderful voice…like my father used to say, "if you are going to do something, better do it right, saves doing it again”rn
