The accent is on Paul. A professor of theatre and film at The University of Kansas, Paul is recognized as a specialist in voice, speech and dialects. In fact, he founded the International Dialects of English Archive, an on-line treasure trove of authentic English dialects. You can check it out here. And Paul practices what he teaches: His accents have been heard here and in the UK on spots for Ford, Blockbuster and Coca-Cola. Non-broadcast clients include Sprint, Farmland and Bayer. He has also served as a dialect coach for motion picture and television. And Paul is equally comfortable on camera, with movie and TV projects to his credit as well. By the way, that English accent is really authentic: Paul is a native of London. We know this because he wanted us to spell "recognize" with an s. Pleaze.
