WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT PAUL ...
"I just wanted to send out a HUGE thank you. A few weeks ago, I worked on an audition piece with you. At the time, I had already done my audition but after our time together, I saw the work in a completely different way. Once back home, I re-submitted the audition, keeping in mind your notes and Paul 'tenets,' and hurrah, I just got word that I booked the job. So, many many thanks to you for giving me the tools to do more digging! - Justine Eyre
"Thanks so much for an amazing workshop in LA. I think my mind was sufficiently blown - a feast of great direction and teaching. It was everything I had hoped it would be." - John McLain
"It was profound. It is beyond exciting to see where I can go, and to begin our creative relationship and friendship." - Kathe Mazur
"Paul Ruben has a fundamental understanding of what goes into great storytelling, as well as a mastery of the specific tools a narrator needs to achieve a nuanced, fully realized performance.

I recently won an AudioFile Earphones Award, and I have Paul to thank for it." - Chris Delaine
