Whether you're looking for someone who can give you honest feedback or you just need a person to drill the lines with, I'm the reader for you. After years of working and studying in classes specializing in audition preparations, I want to share what I've learned and help you feel comfortable and confident with your materials. Let's help you book that room!
Flexible read: emotionally-invested scene partner, neutral reader, or flat reader you might encounter when you're in the room with casting - we can help you get used to that so you don't get tripped when you're auditioning!

• UT Austin Acting MFA w/ teaching experience

**A kind reminder to my fellow actors: I can 100% relate and understand that sometimes the material can be tricky to memorize, but the more you're able to be off-book, the longer time we can take to explore the sides and really get into the nuances of the character/scene, especially when you're submitting a self-tape. May the Muse of Verbatim be always on your side.

Jason Ko (he/him/his) was born and raised in Taiwan before coming to the United States when he was 16. His passion for acting led him to study theatre in University of California, Santa Barbara before heading to University of Texas at Austin for their M.F.A. in Acting program. During his time at Austin, Jason received an opportunity to perform at Seattle Children’s Theatre, the second largest theatre in the United States for young children, as the lead character in the world premiere of "A Single Shard", an adaptation of a Newberry Award-winning children’s novel. That same year, Jason also got to work at Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for their exclusive invite-only summer intensive program.
Jason has been living in Los Angeles, CA since finishing his degree at Austin, and works as an actor mainly for television, film and voiceover.
