"Barry is a producer who will push you beyond what you think your limits are. With his artistic arrangements and vast experience, he was able to bring my vision to life. Working in his state of the art recording studio with its cozy, home feel, it is impossible not to record a great project!"

"There really aren’t words to say what it means to me that I got to work on something so special and near and dear to my heart with you. I literally got to make a childhood dream true and I can’t think of anyone else I would’ve rather worked with on it! Thank you for allowing me and Devon into your home and studio and I really do hope to work with you again in the future!"
Crystal Smith
"Barry Best is one of the most sought after arrangers, producers and musicians in the business and we felt lucky to have him work with us on our documentary. His attention to detail and superb sense for what sells have helped us as we continue to pitch this project in advanced talks with TLC, A&E and the Oprah Winfrey Network. He's the real deal."

"Barry has been my friend and musical colleague since the mid 80’s. His musical knowledge is unsurpassed by anyone that I have ever met. His arrangements are intuitive, soulful and precise, and your project could not be in the hands of a better producer."
Rich Herring
"Barry, you did a wonderful job...that's not an easy situation to be in...not enough rehearsal time, clock running on the studio, additional "helpers" via Skype.... You were the picture of cool and control and I credit you personally with getting the performances we needed and making the choir sound great. You also worked tirelessly and with such a great attitude throughout that it kept the singers energy up as well. I was VERY grateful we had a pro with big ears there, and I'd be happy to work with you again."

"I have known Barry for many years and worked together on many projects and shows. He is at the top of his game and an amazing person and friend. His positive attitude and years of producing and arranging have made him one of the best and easiest to work with. When you work with Barry, it immediately makes you want to step up to his level and perform at your peak."

"Barry’s work on a song for my human rights nonprofit went far above and beyond my expectations. His level of care and creativity made it clear that he was as passionate about the project as I was and the finished song will be the perfect vehicle to help us spread our message and position us as professionals who are worth supporting. I would highly recommend working with Barry."
