Jason Marr

I'm a professional actor with 20+ years of experience on stage, on camera, and in voice over, offering services as a reader and/or private acting coach. I've been teaching and coaching beginning, intermediate, and advanced acting students on TakeLessons.com for close to 3 years and prior to that conducted many student workshops and coaching sessions throughout my career.

Services I can provide:
- reading as a scene partner for rehearsal
- reader for recording self tapes
- help breaking down and analyzing material
- help in clarifying your choices and active objectives
- providing feedback and/or direction as your needs determine
- improvisation for character exploration (script based or free form)
- help with writing and acting projects in development

I have particular experience with
*Meisner technique
* improvisation
*dialects (Yes, I can help you with the dialect or accent you're working on!)
*classical acting (Shakespeare!)
*traditional voice, acting, and movement techniques as utilized in professional acting programs around the world
*stage combat

I hold a BFA in Acting and Directing, an MFA in Classical Acting, and have trained with a variety of private coaches and master class teachers. On stage I've performed with companies like Book-It Repertory, ACT Theatre, Shakespeare Santa Cruz, and the Shakespeare Theatre in DC. I've appeared in numerous commercials (Darigold, Washington Lottery), several short films, and a feature length film. I've also been a voice over spokesperson on Radio, TV, and internet for clients such as Golden One State Credit Union, Microsoft, Tableau Online, Liberty Mutual, and University of Washington Medical.

I look forward to working together!
