"Barney  is a skilled vocalist, but what I appreciated more was his attention to facial detail and body language.  In 'Tonight at Eight', Barney sang of the fear and trepidation that George was facing at the prospect of meeting this secret pen pal. I could see, feel, and believe that the fear he was facing was real.  In the second act the joy and adulation Georg feels during the song 'She Loves Me' is equally as believable. I have had the pleasure of seeing Barney in other productions, and while he has always been a skilled and excellent actor, I can see that the education he has received at the University of Utah has helped him to develop his skills and talents and use them in ways to create richer and stronger characters."

"Jaron Barney (Flying Home) produced startling sound and power, and made me look forward to future performances."

"Barney’s characterization of the young man was organic and his rawperformance in the piece was very touching. This made the song the high point of the whole production.”
