“To make our virtual band performance video happen, Michael had to combine a number of skills. First, he is an accomplished musician, and he used his extensive performance experience to support the music with appropriate, dynamic visuals. He also worked very closely with me (the director) throughout the entire process, providing a lot of support (click tracks, performance tracks, specific instructions on how the students would film themselves). Finally, Michael has a wonderful ear, and the final product was masterfully balanced. Bottom line, we sounded great and we're so grateful to have found him!”
— Emily Calhoun, Director of Orchestras, Savannah Arts Department
“Michael Ray is an absolute joy to work with. He is professional, knowledgeable, and is all around just incredibly pleasant. Michael assisted our company with adding music and life into our rather stagnant virtual theatre performances. Our audience feedback raved about his work and how it brought the experiences to life. With his aid, we were able to really improve the quality of productions for our community when the arts - and an escape - were needed the most.”
— Nathan McGhee, Operations Manager, Bijou Theater
“Michael Ray is a genius! As a live musician he's talented, creative, professional and a joy to be around. He made every show better. As a writer/composer he was excellent at helping us find the story within the music and crafting something unique & memorable. We have worked on multiple projects with Michael including our podcast theme song; on a daily basis fans write in to talk about how much they love that theme song. We can't say enough good things about what Michael brings to the table.”
— Brianne Halverson, Co-artistic Director, Front Porch Improv
“Michael Ray is an extremely talented, multifaceted and intelligent artist. He combines professionalism with kindness to create an environment of collaboration and growth. His vast musical and technical knowledge make him an asset to any project he works on!”
