I cannot imagine a safer and better place in the SE for talent representation than JTA. Consistently professional and always thoughtful is a balance they have struck with ease for years. In addition, they have been supportive of all of my endeavors as a producer in both theatre and film. Thank you JTA!

You know you've hit the jack pot when you're lucky enough to be teamed up with a group of hard working, dedicated and knowledgeable agents like the ladies of JTA. They are, quite frankly, the best of the best in the SouthEast. Their reputation supersedes them and for good reason. You are in good hands, when you are in the hands of JTA.

HANDS DOWN THE BEST! The ladies at JTA are INCREDIBLE! They work so hard for their actors! They get me so many auditions, sometimes I can't keep up. They're reliable, reply instantly for anything I need, are highly respected, and the greatest team to work with! I was with them for 4 years, then moved to LA for many years, They keep me so busy, I left my LA agent and moved back to the South to be with them! I'm so grateful to have them as my agents. They ARE the reason I have an acting career!!! I absolutely LOVE them!!!

When I first started out as an actor, I went through a lot of talent agencies never quite feeling at home, or valued, until JTA. I have been with them for many years and all the ladies that work there are so generous, kind, and truly believe in the actors they represent. I have gotten so many astounding opportunities because of them, and before COVID came around, theyd invite all the actors to meet up and get some face to face time not just with the agents, but with other actors, it was so helpful. Thank you all for believing in me, and overall being awesome humans.
