Jay Overton is a versatile and skilled videographer with meticulous attention to detail. While at Pearson he wrote scripts, shot the footage, edited, and did the voice-over for several different types of videos we needed to better communicate with our customers. He has an artistic eye for composition and overall his videography work is exceptional.

Having worked with Jay Overton for at least 10 years, I can undoubtedly say that he is someone that is dependable and knows how to get the job done. On top of his everyday duties, Jay was the ‘go-to’ person we relied on to direct processes and utilize the best applications for each project’s needs. Jay’s special eye for direction provided our projects with visually pleasing and very accurate videos that our customers used to train their own customers, of which we only heard positive feedback on the quality of these presentations. Jay has been a powerful contributor to the company’s digital training processes and I am happy to provide a recommendation, in addition to feeling that anyone working with will have a tremendous opportunity to benefit and improve their own video knowledge and presentations.

I worked with Jay on a recording project at Pearson for which he was the voice talent. Over the course of the project, I was consistently impressed with Jay’s professionalism and talent. He was well prepared for each recording session, and he was responsive to notes and direction. In addition to doing the job well and producing clean, professional recordings, Jay also made each recording session a lot of fun. Jay is a pleasure to work with, and I recommend his audio/video production company without reservation.

I’ve worked with Jay on a few different projects that benefited from his voice acting and sound editing. He’s a strong performer with a great voice for dynamic storytelling, but he can also deliver a good performance on expository texts and even pronunciation guides. He’s also great fun and efficient in his editing work.

Jay is the most talented and meticulous audio/video producer I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I worked with Jay to create a digital memory test that combined synced audio and visual stimuli. Jay provided solid voiceover work, and also provided insight to solve various UI/UX challenges. The end result was a functional prototype that provided proof of concept and furthered research on the UX. Jay is a benefit for any project or company he works for, and he’s that producer that shines above the rest. Plus, Jay is kind, friendly, has a great sense of humor, and is cool under pressure. If you have an opportunity to hire or work with Jay, take it, you won’t be sorry.

Jay has many marketable skills, including his voice over talent, audio, and video production capabilities. He helped our team out with a research project that required voice over and audio editing and he did a stellar job under a very aggressive schedule. I have also worked with Jay in another capacity on several projects where he was the Field Research lead. He was always prepared for my weekly team meetings with answers to questions and updates on status for the data collection work his team was responsible for. Not only does he do good work, he’s very personable, friendly, and down-to-earth. He’s got a great balance between hard working and fun to work with. I would definitely recommend Jay for his voice over and audio/video talents.
