I learned more than I could write here!" -Colleen Britt "Paul not only gave great instruction, but made you feel really comfortable. This class is perfect for actors who aren't really experienced in animation. I loved that class was interactive all the way through and that every participant was put on the spot to do voices. I learned a ton about character voices and how to develop my own variety." -Michelle McAroy "Paul is wonderful-a great teacher and an amazing talent!" -Mary Clancy Mango "Loved the tips and tricks from a working professional!" -Dennis Mason
