Paul’s been a coach/teacher for more than a decade to age groups 7 thru adult, encouraging young actors and singers to allow their humanity and individuality to shine through their work. His students successfully audition in many different genres of performing. He coaches and teaches on-camera, scenes and monologues, song prep, college audition prep, and whatever else the student needs. He works in class and one-on-one formats, live and virtually. Passionate about helping people find their art, he has a studio of regular students who take his classes and/or work with him privately.
