Is a comma needed after "Hello(,) dear friends"?

In Hello Paul, I am aware no comma is needed after "HI"?

What about Hello dear friends when addressing an audience. Is a comma needed after "Hello"?

Thanks.

Technically, words like 'hello' or even 'hi' should be followed by a comma in careful writing. So: Hello, Paul and Hello, dear friends .
