About
An Audiobook Performer of the Year and five-time Best Performance nominee, with fifteen-plus years’ experience, elite performance training (MFA, NYU Tisch), a 1% for the Planet Business Member, and whose voice is trusted by a list of clients and companies including:
BMW, Butterfinger, Netflix, Microsoft, IBM, Samsung, McDonald's, Ragù, Spotify, The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, Audible, Penguin Random House, among many more.
Jay’s voice can be heard around the world, narrating award-winning documentaries and best-selling audiobooks, starring in animated films and television shows, voicing consumer end-products, and countless commercial campaigns--to name a few.
It's not hard to see why collaborators say Jay is…
"…a true talent, and a true professional…"
…and…
"…one of the best voices I've ever heard."
Professional life aside…
…for those born and raised in the Pacific Northwest…you are somewhat destined to end up with a deep love for nature, open spaces, and all things green. That’s also where I began my career as a performer, with a speaking role as French Fry #1, in our kindergarten production of “The McKay Cafe.”
Since 2015 I’ve lived and worked in NYC, and home is presently in Brooklyn with my wife and partner of over 10 years, and our cat Liz. In my free time, I enjoy running in the park, reading, playing games with friends, drawing and photography, not to mention watching (and often crying along with) animated movies.
If you have any specific questions or curiosities about me, my work, or just want to chat, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Warmly,
Jay
