Casting Notes:
Paul is now old enough to talk about red wine, and cheese. And olives! He loves them now, but remembers how bad they used to taste – so teenagers think he’s cool too. Sometimes he helps them graffiti. Only nice words of course.
As a kid Paul mucked around with frogs, cars and jumping off the garage roof. That's why he's a great story teller of mis-spent youthful days. Now he’s first at the pub to brag to his mates about how his footy team is the best in the comp, even if they are coming last. When the pub’s closing, Paul is the mature, sensible, and thoughtful designated driver... who left his keys at home... on purpose. Whoops.
His brain is a lot like a car engine – interesting design, but no-one really knows what’s going on inside. He can give the strawberry in a smoothie commercial a voice AND a personality. A talking kangaroo one minute, a broad-smiling, honest-to-goodness lad the next.
You hate that show on television. Seems pointless doesn’t it. But Paul told you to watch it..... Ok you’ll give it one more chance. Maybe it isn’t so bad. Now you love it. Thanks Paul, now you’re hooked on another silly TV show.
Paul once told me that uni students need to grow up..... as we sat on a roller coaster. Is there a word for mature yet immature?
A hot mug of English breakfast tea with scones, followed by a frosty beer, also with scones. Serious or silly – either way his voice is making me hungry.
Be careful, in a voice session Paul may just try out some of his new stand-up jokes on you. Of course if you don’t laugh, he’ll say it was just off the top of his head. Look at his hand, I bet there’s writing on the back of it.
His cupboards are filled with old video games, all of which Paul conquered. His fiancé wants them thrown out, but Paul convinces her to give him a 3 month extension..... every 3 months.
Aussie Aussie Aussie – Oi Oi Oi.
Paul once set up a lunch with a brickie’s laborer and an insurance broker. They became the best of friends!

** See what the clients are saying about Paul **
“I’ve watched Paul grow from a kid starting out into one of the best in the business. He listens, he learns (fast) and he gets it. He’s not someone we hire in, he’s part of our team. Committed to giving us exactly what we want and making sure we’re 100% happy.
There are a million voices out there but there’s only one Paul. If you’re tossing up between him and someone else – go with Paul, he’ll give you more. Simple as that.
******Rob Rosenberg, Creative Director – One.********
“It is my absolute pleasure to work with Paul Hancock. Over the last 8 years I’ve seen Paul develop from one of Sydney most enthusiastic radio street team members into a confident, reliable, trust worthy, humorous and exceptional radio talent.
“Paul excels in everything he turns his attention to – from on air announcing, presenting, voice over, event MC and comedy performer. Paul is, without doubt, one of the industry’s best young talents.”
******Tim Dwyer – Head Of Tactics, Triple M Sydney******
“I’ve had the privilege of knowing and working with Paul for many years and can honestly say he is one of the most down to earth, hardworking and multi-talented people I have come across. His positive attitude and openness to feedback and collaboration makes him quite unique in what is usually a very competitive and often ‘precious’ industry.
I cannot speak highly enough of him and would be very happy to talk to anyone who is considering working with him and wants to know what they’re in for!
***********Shandra Moran, Program Director / Assistant Program Director, Nova 93.7 Perth / Nova 96.9 Sydney**********
“Since Paul joined the Kerri-Anne Team, in 2010, his strengths and abilities as a presenter have continued to improve to the benefit of our many happy clients.
Paul’s sense of humour has always made working with him enjoyable, both in the studio and outside, and the fact that he can nail a four minute advertorial to the second has the clients asking for Paul again, and makes my life a lot easier.
*******Stewart Ritchie, Advertorial Producer – Mornings With Kerri-Anne Channel 9******
“When we book Paul on a “various”, every writer wants in on his session, because he can voice and voice act. Paul’s a great choice to launch a burger, a band, a new SUV. He’s the hapless boyfriend, the larrikin mate, the apprentice sparky. He’s the guy in the street with muesli bar samples and a mic.
Oh, yeah, and he’s also a fabulous choice when you want a nice, flexible and funny guy (who knows way too much about tennis).
********Emily Rice, Creative Manager – Heard (Austereo)**********
