Xiam Lim is ecstatic after knowing he was personally chosen by the producer of Paddington to do the voice of the popular bear for its Philippines adaptation. The actor was also thrilled to be doing the voice of an animated character for the first time. He was given a voice and language coach, as apparently he would need to have a British accent. Lim lived for a while in the United States and is comfortable and believable speaking in American English. With a slight British accent, the actor recorded a demo voice tape, which was easily approved by the series producer David Heyman.
