I say it like you mean it
Voice Actor
A true storyteller: warmth, playfulness, and calm but undeniable authority.
Baritone, 35 to 55, General American. Warmth you feel, with an edge of understated humor. The trusted friend, the caring expert, the guy you’d want to sit next to around the campfire.
A career actor: easy to work with, quick with direction, reads with real depth.
Twenty years of working with directors, so notes land on the next take. Building scenes, so a two-hour narration and a fifteen-second spot both have shape. Living in stories, so yours is felt, not just heard.

Testimonials
What producers, directors, and authors say about working with me.
“Paul is a consummate professional and a team-player. He offers great ideas and makes every direction work.”
“Paul delivered a truthful, sensitive and moving performance in the lead role in our 5-episode audio drama.”
“My project was completed quickly, and Paul kept me in the loop. I look forward to collaborating again!”
“This is an absolutely beautiful interpretation of the essay; I had tears in my eyes.”
“Your reading really brings out a sense of momentum and suspense through the sequences!”
“The writer was thrilled with your performance. The people she worked with to research the story all loved it too.”
“Thank you again for your wonderful, soulful and genuine portrayal! You nailed it!!!”
“Your reading was perfect, and was a really big hit with the players and the audience. And the composer!”
My first time on stage was supposed to be a middle-school play. I hid out in the computer lab, got detention… still had to do the play. I was sweating, vibrating. I felt… exposed. I kinda liked it.
But for a shy kid, being seen takes courage. So it wasn’t until college, while studying philosophy and physics, that I tried a theater elective, and let an audience see me, my fear, my joy, my sense of adventure. I was blown away by what happened. We shared laughter, forgot the circumstances were imagined, went on journeys and came out changed. I loved it.
My shyness became a desire to connect. I turned to writing. Inspired by my literary hero, Hemingway, I found work as a newspaper journalist, covered an education beat, talked with people, learned that honest storytelling meant more than admiration or criticism. It was my calling, I thought. But I needed to sing. To whisper. To give stories a voice. At last, the stage called me back for good — to New York. I trained in acting, dance and singing. Worked in theater, film, television and print. Earned my union cards.
Then I met the person I’d share the best story with. We raised a son and found our way to the Chicago area. And I found voice acting — storytelling with the intimacy of writing, and the expression of theater. Now I’m in my booth daily, doing improv, training, recording. No detentions, no hiding out. Just creating moments of connection, and bringing clients’ stories to life.
That’s my story. I’d love to tell yours.
