Studio manager Adam Clairmont says Hamm worked at the audio and video production facility for a few hours.
"Jon was outstanding," Clairmont said. "Mostly delivering two takes at a time that were both spot on perfect. And the voice is too cool."
Overit has worked with a number of celebrities in the past, including actors James Franco and Brian Cox.

Jon Hamm of 'Mad Men' to perform at Mass MoCA
....The actor best known as advertising executive Don Draper in "Mad Men" knew Kotche through other longtime Wilco pals. He met Agami at a dinner party and another event by chance, learning about her work during those random encounters.
"Every time she said what she was doing, I was like, 'That sounds really cool. What you're doing sounds fun and interesting and cool, and I like fun and interesting and cool,'" he said.
Initially, the concept was quite abstract, a meeting of three artistic talents.
"Let's combine these three things and see what the mixture creates. It was literally that organic and weird and nonspecific," Hamm said.
In September, he and Agami worked for 10 days on the piece's staging, with Kotche teaming up with them for a weekend. Since that time, Hamm and Agami have met monthly.
"I was the one leading us through, 'This is the text. This is the vibe of the music. This is what I'm going to be doing physically, and what do you think about it?'" Agami said.
It was the three collaborators' jobs to set music and movement to Heyman's narrative, which explores attraction and control, among other aspects of desire. For instance, Hamm's character notes that, as a teenager, he wanted to be a metalsmith so that he could build a cage around a woman.
"I would know that she was safe, and I would know that she was mine," he says before reflecting on how his perspective of romance has changed in the three decades since.
"He just wrote this really beautiful, heartbreaking story," Hamm said of Heyman.
In residence at Mass MoCA, the collaborators have found a peace that isn't available in New York City and Los Angeles.
"In other places, there's just so much swirl. There's so much crazy going on," Hamm said. "Here, the whole thing is just focused on this one thing."
The residency also doesn't require a finished product.
"We really just allow them to have time in our theater without pressure of a final project," said Mass MoCA director of performing arts Sue Killam.
But there are performances to be held. Like past residents, Hamm, Agami and Kotche will have to reveal their work publicly when they present "Fishing" this weekend and again at the Solid Sound Festival in June.
"We do ask that people snap a line," Killam said.

“And then every time she said what she was doing, I was like, well that sounds really cool," he said. "What you’re doing sounds fun and interesting and cool, and I like fun and interesting and cool, and maybe we should find something fun and interesting and cool to do together. That would be fun and interesting and cool. And so that was then sort of the object – was to find that thing, or to create that thing.”
....
“You’re a dancer, he’s a musician, I’m an actor – let’s combine these three things and see what the mixture creates," said Hamm. "It was literally that organic and weird and nonspecific, and what we’ve come up with I think is something unique.”
....
Hamm says he has around 16 pieces of Heyman’s text to deliver over the course of the show.
“The challenge is to tell the story – what’s the story? What’s the story within the monologue, what’s the story overarching, and bring everyone along on that journey,” he told reporters.
...
“It kind of feels like that – it’s very presentational in many ways, but also in the way that those shows were so emotionally affecting," said Hamm. "He was telling a story, and you got swept along in the story.”
Agami and Hamm met unexpectedly three and a half years ago at a Los Angeles dinner party the night before the 2015 Emmys. Hamm had been nominated eight times as best featured actor in a drama series and that year he finally won.
We were sitting across from each other for like three hours. I was shocked," says Agami, who was an avid watcher of his show. "We talked a lot about 'Mad Men,' which had already wrapped. It was a fun night in anticipation of the Emmys."
Agami recalls that Hamm was smoking during much of the dinner. Though she's not a smoker, watching him made it seem like a fine idea. "In the moment with Jon you want to join in. That's the thing, he's funny and alluring," she says.
"He's a powerful presence, which is why I wanted him on the stage," says Agami. "People see him on a screen but I wanted to see him live."
It was on the 12th, Francesco Molinari on the tee box. At that moment, Molinari was two shots ahead of Woods; it felt like 20. The Open champ had been more machine than man through 65 holes at the Masters, making just two bogeys on the week. "Guy doesn't [expletive] miss," actor Jon Hamm said on the 10th, shaking his head incredulously after Molinari had another "how'd-he-do-that?" save.
