Tea Time with Lindz: Jamison Haase

Jamison Haase has had a steady career since moving to Los Angeles twenty one years ago. Not only is Jamison a working actor (even though he will dispute this) but he is also an acting coach at L.A On Camera Training Center. 

You can catch Jamison on television shows such as, The Last Ship, Colony, American Crime Story, NCIS: Los Angeles, Melissa and Joey to name but a few.

L.A. On-Camera Training Center was founded by Haase in 2007 with the intention of training Los Angeles based actors in on-camera and audition techniques. In today’s Industry, the camera has become the most important tool in the casting process. Writers, directors, and producers often times do not have the time or ability to come and meet you face-to-face, which means that your performance on-camera is crucial in determining whether or not you get the job.

Due to Covid-19 L.A On Camera have taken their courses online so it does not matter where you are in the world, you can jump onboard and take one of their courses, which I would highly recommend. 

Listen to hear what Jamison keeps in his set bag, who coaches Jamison when he has an audition and his advice to actors out there how are still trying to break into the industry.
