She has met every project I’ve given her with the utmost care and enthusiasm. The amount of research and prep-work she does continues to impress me, as does her professionalism and warmth, which puts narrators and authors instantly at ease.

Tim Ditlow - Brilliance Audio
"When I was the children's and young adult audiobook Publisher at Brilliance, I was among the first audiobook executives to hire May as a director. Her experience in publishing and film, the work she did with authors, screenwriters and playwrights, as well as her training as an actor, made her a compelling candidate for the job. And I wasn't disappointed. The first book she directed for Brilliance, Peace, Locomotion by multi-award-winning author Jacqueline Woodson and narrated by Dion Graham, won many awards, among them an Audio Publisher Association Audie Award and an Odyssey Honor Award. When I acquired the audio rights to Rick Riordan's trilogy, The Kane Chronicles, May was my first choice to direct and she delivered in every way. She directed the National Book Award-winning title Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice by Phillip Hoose, and when then New York Times Tech Columnist David Pogue narrated his first children's book, May was my go to director. The list goes on. I had total confidence that if May was directing, every detail would be considered and executed to the highest possible standard." — Tim Ditlow, VP Content Epic!
Arnie Cardillo - Live Oak Media
"May has produced and directed a number of audiobook projects for me. I find her to be a pleasure to work with and adept at every aspect of the production process. She invariably casts the right actor for a given project and is skilled at directing them, eliciting their best performance. She instantly establishes rapport with actor and engineer alike, making the experience a positive one for all concerned. As for editing and post production, May is committed to making certain that the final program is flawless. I have nothing but praise for her work!” — Arnie Cardillo, President and Publisher, Live Oak Media
