Paul had a very low-pitched, deep voice.

Things you can do to affect the deepness of the low end: Lower larynx;
maximize resonant chambers in the mouth/throat; extend jaw and lips;
small lip opening; get chest resonance... etc. Theoretically, nearly
any pitch you can sing with the vocal folds can also be used for
karg/Tibetan monk chant voice. Practically, that requires, well, lots
of practice.

I can get a low rumble down around 35 hz or so, but can't do melodies,
etc., that low: http://khoomei.com/low.htm

You might also enjoy visiting the forum at
http://www.khoomei.com/forum as it's fairly active and there are lots
of interesting discussions there.
