About Paul
I'm a Sesame (Street) Workshop trained puppeteer, pro puppeteer and puppet builder of over 35 years. I am the creator and lead puppeteer of the former nationally syndicated children's TV puppet series, "Jelly Bean Jungle". I was a puppeteer in the movie, "Team America: World Police", and have trained puppeteers in several TV and Video productions, including theater productions of "Hand To God, Nunsense, Avenue Q", and more! In addition, I am the co-author and lead puppeteer of the former Off-Broadway musical comedy, "Real Men (Sing Showtunes and Play With Puppets)". Throughout my career, I've taught live puppetry workshops to students of all ages, and now I'm bringing them directly to you, privately and ONE ON ONE!

As a professional puppeteer of over 35 years, I teach hand and rod puppet manipulation techniques for aspiring and experienced puppeteers of ALL AGES.
YOU'LL LEARN:
1. Character voices
2. Eye Focus
3. Proper Lip Sync
4. Body language
5. Character Development
6. Scene Work
7. Arm Rod Techniques
8. Theater vs. TV/Film Puppeteer Techniques (There's a difference)
You'll learn all of this and more, while working with pro hand and rod puppets, like the ones you see on TV& Film!
What sets me apart from other teachers on this platform, is that I was actually taught by the lead puppeteers from Sesame Street, The Muppets, and The Jim Henson Company. My teachers are Matt Vogel (Kermit, The Count, Big Bird), Peter Lintz (Ernie, Walter), Martin P. Robinson (Telly, Snuffleupagus) & Stephanie D'Abruzzo (Prairie Dawn & Original Cast of Avenue Q). I've also launched the careers of Henson & Sesame Street puppeteers, Donna Kimball & Bradley Freeman, Jr. !
Aside from puppeteer techniques, I'll also mentor you on the business side of becoming a puppeteer and what you need to do in order to be a professional puppeteer for Theater, TV & Film.
And here's something pretty cool, ..... when you take a virtual class with me, not only do you learn all the amazing puppeteer techniques I've learned through the years, but you also GET YOUR VERY OWN PRACTICE PUPPET! Not a bad deal, huh?

Have done a wonderful masterclass on puppetry with Paul. A wealth of knowledge and gave us so much helpful advice that has helped me in professional productions. I highly recommend taking lessons!
Paul was a fantastic puppetry teacher! I was cast in a play with a very detailed puppet scene, having no prior puppetry experience. He was so patient and positive, and I came out of the process knowing a completely new skill to put on my resume! With his puppet building and puppetry skills combined, Paul is a true master of the art!
I had the privilege of being one of Paul Louis's students, and I can confidently say that he is a phenomenal teacher. His passion for puppetry is infectious, and his dedication to his craft is evident in every lesson he imparts. What sets him apart is not just his technical expertise but also his ability to inspire creativity and imagination in his students.
