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.

I am really satisfied with this experience and I absolutely recommend Jay Smack.
