Michael Paul is one of the most incredible acting coaches I have worked with. In preparation for an audition for Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame, he helped me lock in the voice of the role Quassimodo. And I booked the gig!!! His style is fantastic. The way he describes placement and technique will not only help a seasoned actor, but also a newbie just starting.”
HA! I knew you were a great writer but damn, you’re brilliant!
Michael’s process for preparing quickly for a scene is dead on. My videotaped, television scene had arc, movement and a depth I had never achieved so quickly. My agent, who NEVER says anything, wrote back and said “Fantastic audition!” I now count Michael as my incredible acting coach.
He challenged my personal weaknesses and helped me develop as a performer. Instilling true freedom in my performance and learning to enjoy the artistic process for me as a musician/entertainer and person. Michael is a consummate professional and hilarious to work with: our time together was steeped in fun and laughter. ”
Working with a director on a one-person show wasn’t something I’d ever considered doing. I find the medium extremely personal. However, Michael helped me clarify and step out of myself in a way that made my show more successful than I ever could have imagined. it took my live shows to their next level.
MP took my act and guided me to find the verbal thread and the physical stage movement for the theatre. I was asked to try things, asked to keep an open mind, and given permission to abandon it if I felt it wouldn’t go the direction I wanted. He also gave me something to focus on other than how the performance would go!
Our anniversary show was by far our BEST and it was hugely in part to your oh-so-calm-under-pressure show running. You’re a master.
Remarkable, flawless, first-rate production.
Michael was essential to our national, Centennial Celebration weekend. His direction on scripting and run of show, provided flawless success for our three main events.
Michael Paul is our go-to when we are looking for someone to manage difficult or sensitive clients and oversee production on our large-scale events. We produce over 300 award-style events and corporate meetings a year and are grateful to have him on our call list.
My work as a national journalist for CBS News has made me realize the importance of Michael’s skills. Understanding an audience is key, as is communicating with them and entertaining them. He has a depth of knowledge in many areas, including comedy, directing, writing, presenting information, audience dynamics, and much more. His impressive experience and skill set are only the beginning. He also has the skill of explaining skills.
I can’t thank you enough. My improv was off the charts tonight! It totally changed how I felt on stage and the confidence I have with the audience!
Thanks for making the shoot a remarkable and wonderful day, keeping it light, casual, and fun while demonstrating talent and expertise.
… people were raving about it …. fresh and modern and managed to incorporate a lot of fun and great content.
Michael is easily one of the most creative, focused, and pragmatic producers I’ve ever worked with, shining most uniquely in the ease with which he sets expectations across all members of an event production team. From the most junior team member to the end client themselves.The ease with which MP establishes this dynamic is his secret sauce.
Amazing. I don’t know how we found you but not many people can handle that kind of show.
… incredible, blown away and very moved."

When he stepped in last minute to technically design a concert that moved the audience by marrying the look to the sound, it resulted was a performance that led artist, Shayna Steele to a record deal, several recordings and eventually gigs around the world.
He’s a hilarious writer. Don and the team loved working with him.

Joan: Stay behind the scenes. You’re too funny and I don’t need the competition. Mel: You are fantastic and a joy to work with!
What I really liked about his writing were the marvelously odd and specific details. The self-deprecating gags and the harsh, truth-telling gags were the best. And the magician’s father’s funeral scene was a comedy classic.
Wow, thank you for so much coverage on the script. These are laugh-out-loud funny! Seriously!
