Jayson’s class was exactly what I was looking for. A place to grow, feel safe, gain confidence, while also being challenged and honing my skills. I am surrounded by other working actors, being taught by a working actor. The technique you ask? Well, the proof is in the pudding. If you’re looking for a quick fix, this is not it. This is the long game. And it’s worth it.

I compare Jayson’s class to leg day at the gym-it’s tough, no doubt, but those gains though! He pushes you out of your comfort zone enabling you to move past boundaries you never thought possible. After all, the difference between a serious actor/actress and a not so serious one is THE WORK PUT FORTH. So do yourself a favor and take his class. Get those GAINS!Tanya “Charlie” Roney

I have been taking Acting with Jayson for over a year now since moving from NYC and I highly recommend his class for anyone who is serious about acting. His method is Strasburg based and its great for beginners and those who are seasoned and want to sharpen their skills. You will be working in every class and he expects commitment and discipline from you while encouraging you to find and explore your own artistic voice. Jayson is very supportive and sensitive to your needs as an artist. I highly recommend you check his class out.

I love this class! I think its important to branch out in your techniques as an actor. Strasberg technique requires patience but is definitely rewarding. Jayson is awesome too! He encourages exploration as an actor which I think is vital and has a lot of on set professional (*current*) industry experience. Highly recommended to those with an open mind who want to take their craft to the next level!

I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking to seriously pursue acting. He will help you find greater trust in your instincts and help you hone authenticity. Jayson is an open and honest teacher. He challenges his students while being equally encouraging. He is invested as a teacher and serious about the craft of acting.

Jayson is a wonderful teacher! Whenever someone asks for advice on where to go for classes I always tell them to go see Jayson. A great foundation for anyone from beginning too advanced. I truly enjoyed his class and what he taught me. Hes down to earth and you know its a safe space to express yourself.

I studied with Jaysons teacher Sandra Dorsey so his class was like a homecoming for me. I enjoyed it very much and was able to gain confidence and hone my skills. I found Jayson to be an immensely capable teacher able to meet the needs of each student. He would challenge and push but never in a way that I ever saw anyone feel unsafe. It is always important to vet your acting teacher and Jayson 100% knows his business.

Jayson has a comprehensive working knowledge of Strasberg based acting technique. He is also an accomplished working actor, practicing what he teaches without ego. This class is simply about the work. His passion for craft and love of his students is unmatched. Entering this environment is akin to a dojo or a spiritual center. Hard work and dedication is expected both in class and in your at home practice. With emphasis on relaxation and sensory work, this class has given me tools I will carry with me as long as I call myself an actor. I would recommend this class to performers of all skill/experience levels.

A very professional, no fluff straight up technique acting class that will profit for both on camera and stage. To find an instructor whose heart is into the art as well as the teaching is rare in Atlanta. Jayson is one of the rare ones. A two thumbs up class!

Jaysons class is really great. Just read some Stanislavski or Meisner and see if what Jaysons doing is along the lines of the greats. I learned so much from taking this class. I highly recommend it. Jayson works with you on becoming a better actor no matter where youre at in your development. You have to put in the work, even if that work is reading the dang script, using your senses to transport you somewhere or being there for your scene partner. Feed your passion for acting! And let Jayson help you.

Jayson is an awesome actor and teacher . The Strasberg method he teaches really helps to breakdown walls and barriers to help you to really get in touch with your emotions and really reach your full potential as an actor. I look forward to to working more with Jayson in the new year.
