Jay Smack has been doing voiceovers professionally for over 20 years. A background in nearly all facets of the industry, from broadcasting, to recording, mixing, engineering, post-production, copywriting, advertising, even custom music composition, provides a unique perspective from both sides of the desk. Jay has a wide range of voices in his repertoire: movie-trailer deep-n-gritty to caring and friendly to character reads with vibes like Sam Elliott or Morgan Freeman to dry industrial to upbeat retail.
I love working with Jay. He’s a total pro and a really good guy. He’s been on both sides of the mic, which gives him a unique set of skills that really comes in handy in a vo session. Jay has truly helped us bring some projects to life!

ay was incredibly accommodating, fast, professional and nailed what we were looking for. We had to come back to him for a couple of tweaks on timing to match our animation, and he happily turned the changes right around. Both the process and the final product were absolutely flawless.

Well, what can I say? Jay is is an absolute genius. I listened to more than 70 voices and I enjoyed many but I thought that Jay’s was special and I chose it.
