                "description": "Testimonials:'I was working in the West End before I graduated and I genuinely felt more prepared and ready to utilise my skills having been trained by Paul. I was able to pick up a script and know instantly what to do and how to navigate it. I felt strong and confident with my actor's process and knew exactly how to tackle the industry as an actor and an artist. I have Paul to thank for that.'Louis Sparks, Actor - Masters of the Air (produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks)'Paul genuinely cares for the well-being of all of his students, he wants to see you win! He’s driven to give actors from underrepresented backgrounds a voice and that’s what we need more of in our industry. So if you’re an actor, a performer, a creative who wants to create their own work and give a voice to the voiceless, collaborating with him is the best thing you could do for yourself.'Seyan Sarvan, Actor - Channel 4's It's A Sin'Paul is a one of a kind. His openness, his knowledge and his commitment towards guiding actors to the highest level is truly like no other. It’s only until you’ve had a chance to see what else is out there, both professionally and academically, it becomes very clear that your learning with Paul is special and there’s no other place to train like this.'Segun Fawole, Actor - West End productions of A Chorus Line and Motown'It's impossible to list all the things I've learnt from Paul because there are just too many! Paul not only teaches students to be actors, but theatre-makers, professionals – brilliant humans with ideas and dreams and fires in their bellies.'Phoebe Rhodes, Director - Young Vic Creators Program"
