Jason Watson

Communication Skills Consultant

Based in Asheville, NC., Jason is a critically acclaimed Actor, Singer, Director, and Communication Skills consultant and coach. Since joining the Ovation team, he continuously brings to the table his sincere, enthusiastic style and accessible approach in order to guide clients toward discovering and exploring how to become their own best communication leader. On par with the varied parts he’s played over the years as an actor, Jason cherishes the role of facilitator—one where he has the unique opportunity to be an active catalyst in the development and growth of his clients’ confidence, professional presence, communication skill set, and, perhaps most of all, helping them to find and foster their “why”—all in an effort to ensure their every message is delivered as effectively and intentionally as possible, whether it be a within a presentation or conversation. Some past and current clients include Microsoft, Mastercard, TIAA, Raymond James, Ricoh, SAP Concur, and Meijer.

Jason’s professional performing career has taken him on an unforgettable journey, traversing myriad stages, characters, cities, and settings; from National Tours to Broadway; Television to Film; Solo Projects to World Cruises. A few of his favorites have been Mamma Mia! on Broadway, the National Tour of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Next to Normal, and guest starring on TV’s How I Met Your Mother. After living and working in NYC and LA for the majority of his career, Jason now opts for “the quieter” scene in the mountains of NC where he can enjoy the most time with his wife and two young children, while still having the ability to work and perform as a proud member of both Actors’ Equity Association and SAG/AFTRA in the region.
