An award-winning actor, voiceover artist, and audiobook narrator, Jay’s hundreds of performances have earned praise across all genres and mediums.
With his warm, relatable, and versatile voice, he thrives in performing first-person narrations, stories with large casts and vibrant characters, and introspective or intimate moments. While he loves books of all genres, he has a soft spot for memoirs, sci-fi, thrillers, and romance.
When not behind the mic, Jay enjoys reading, running, baking cookies (chocolate chip), and sharing a bowl of popcorn with his wife and cat watching something new.

FAQ
What accents do you perform?
I am proficient in many and am trained in acquiring new accents. Below are some accents I comfortably perform out of pocket:
Most regional American and British accents (please inquire for specific regions). Irish, Australian, European General, Eastern European, French, German, and South African.
Is there material you don’t perform?
I will consider any project regardless of its content. However, I ask to review potentially sensitive or challenging material before undertaking any project, and then make this determination on a case-by-case basis.
Can you edit, master, and provide QA?
Yes! I am comfortable and familiar with all stages of the audiobook production pipeline and am happy to help in whatever way is needed. I can provide rates for all scales of production.
What genres do you specialize in?
I like to tell good stories, regardless of genre. The joy of narrating is listening to any given author’s voice, the way they’ve chosen to tell their story, and then embodying that vision to the best of my ability.
With that said, my narration style and training are particularly well suited to strong points of view, large casts of characters, and texts that benefit from an added emotional depth and connection for the listener.
What are your rates?
My rates vary depending on the book, the project’s union status, and the publishers I work with, but if you would like a rough estimate immediately the below calculator will help.
