“Tom's classes on performance are the most insightful and comprehensive I've ever seen on the subject."

Dez Dickerson, former guitarist for Prince and the Revolution,
President Absolute Records


"The challenge of working with new artists and helping them develop a great stage presence is one of the biggest challenges in breaking a new artist. Tom's teaching has dramatically improved the thinking and careers of many of the artists we have worked with, and we are still constantly referring artists to learn from his techniques."

Leroy Harder, Slyngshot Productions & Studio


"As an emerging artist I have spent time video taping my concerts, evaluating, and making small changes here and there. But now, (after attending your workshop) I know what I am looking for! It has already been exciting! I decided to completely reorganize the order of songs based on your lesson in blocking a concert. Simply amazing. Blew me away! Standing ovation, tape sales up the wazoo, etc., etc. Needless to say I'm pretty fired up! All that is to say a big thanks for your tape series, your seminars and your willingness to work with the dweebs in music ."

T.Pickell, Quincy , MI


"Tom Jackson not only makes an artist more entertaining--he helps them become more effective. Whether a label artist or an unsigned indie--Tom is one of the best investments anyone can make in their career."

Vince Wilcox, Manager, Newsong, Todd Agnew, Jadyn Maria, Jonah 33


"Whether I am singing in Tokyo, Sydney, Sao Paulo, Honolulu, or Los Angeles, I am always using the stage performance techniques that Tom Jackson taught me - and they work! Tom's concepts are truly universal and they transcend languages and cultural differences."

Junko, International singer/songwriter, Los Angeles, CA


"As an instructor in the commercial music program at South Plains College, I am constantly seeking quality materials to use with my students. The hardest to find have been those pertaining to live performance skills. Tom Jackson's videos have been an invaluable tool for both my students and me as an instructor. A master of the art of live performance, Tom's coaching has had a tremendous impact on my students. The section on building a set list is worth it's weight in gold. Thanks a million!

Scott Faris, Director of Guitar Studies, Creative Arts Department,
South Plains College


"I’ve have had other performance consultants work with the artists I represent on major country labels, and I feel that Tom Jackson's approach is much more effective and certainly more cost efficient."

Mike Smith, Manager for Mid-South, Salvador , Brad Stine, and Chonda Pierce


"Tom has taught us the importance of creating moments in our concert. He has shown us many subtle and not so subtle elements that go into making a great show."

Jars of Clay


"Tom Jackson will rock your world and everything you ever thought about your performance. Is the audience listening? Are you really making contact? Tom is an architect that knows how to go in and individually capture the essence of each artist or band. His approach is solid and foundational, creating a platform for true artistic expression. He has been instrumental in helping our artist and bands connect with their audiences and create unique experiences with every performance."

Elliott Cunningham, President, Sound Kitchen Recording Studios,
Rhythm House Records


"If you want to learn about raising kids you ask Dr. Dobson. If you want to learn about handling money... Larry Burkett. If you want to learn to hit a baseball far... Mark McGwire.

If you want to learn what to do onstage ask Tom Jackson."

Eddie Carswell, Newsong


"It is a great understatement to say that World Vision Artists love Tom Jackson. I have observed him hold 200 artists spellbound year after year at our Artist Retreats, and every year, no matter how we structure the program, the one segment everyone asks for is MORE of Tom Jackson. I wholeheartedly encourage any artist to take advantage of the teachings of this premier performance coach. He is powerfully refreshing, both personally and professionally"

Kris Thompson, Director, Artist Associates Program, World Vision U.S.


"Tom, I wanted to tell you what an absolute blessing you have been to Farewell June whom I manage. Not only did they run with the techniques you gave them, but it has ignited awareness to a whole other aspect of what they do!

You accomplished things with their live performances I could not have on my own. Their merchandise sales nearly tripled after working with you for only one day! The band had to get up there on stage and do it, but without your tools, teaching, mentoring and encouragement to step out in authority it would not have happened. They are even writing for their next CD thinking about how you would view the live performance of those songs and how to communicate them visually.

Thank you again so much for working with them and I will be working to have them with you this coming year in advance of the release of their next CD for sure! Words just can't say enough about what you have done for this group!

God bless you!"

Scott E. Williams, Manager, FAREWELL JUNE
President/Owner - PRODIGAL SON ENTERTAINMENT - Brentwood, TN


"Thank you for your valuable, straight-ahead, non-condescending teaching. I've been in this business long enough to know that there are precious few who possess the knowledge, experience and especially the grace you show."

Tamra Comstock,Tillies Plains, TN


“I took your class in Nashville. With each gig I've done since November, I've seen improvements in myself and my performances. I love it and I'm having more fun as well. Once you know what you are doing, and the right way to do it, it just makes it so much easier to do it better."

James Westborn Blair, Singer/Songwriter
