There, he would meet fellow broadcaster and voice actor Ted Thomas, who would later invite Warren to work at his dubbing company, Axis International.

After this, Warren would continue to work at RTHK while taking a break from voice acting. Sometime during the mid-late 1980s, fellow voice actor and broadcaster Rick Thomas invited Warren to work at his dubbing company, Omni Productions. Warren would spend the rest of his time voice acting at Omni Productions and working at RTHK before retiring sometime in the mid-1990s, later leaving Hong Kong in the late 1990s to live in Macau.
