This place has become my artistic home. I went to this studio solely to learn how to act and what I got in return was so far greater. I got a phenomenal education and finally feel confident in my acting skills. I learned to expand my imagination, think critically, become comfortable with visibility, keep my commitments and made life long friends. The acting skills I acquired while working with Terry will carry me in every professional environment I enter and will set me up for success. Training with Terry as well as the other wonderful teachers at his school give you an everything you need to mentally and physically sustain yourself in this industry and to hone your craft to its fullest potential. I highly recommend this studio!

I left the masterclass feeling deeply inspired and capable. Terry was extremely precise in his work. He created an atmosphere full of generosity and curiosity. I think every actor who is looking to improve their technical foundation and fall in love with acting all over again should take this workshop.

Terry Knickerbocker himself is not only an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced teacher, but also a mentor who deeply cares about each student’s growth. His ability to push actors to reach their full potential while maintaining a supportive and nurturing environment is unparalleled.

The training at this studio is rigorous, immersive, and transformative. The curriculum is rooted in the Meisner technique, but what sets this studio apart is its holistic approach—students are guided to develop both their craft and their mindset, equipping them with the discipline and tools needed for a long-lasting career. The faculty, handpicked by Terry, consists of top-tier industry professionals who are equally passionate about the art of acting and the success of their students.

Whether you're a beginner looking to build a strong foundation or a seasoned actor wanting to refine your skills, this studio is the place to be. The sense of community here is inspiring, and many students leave not only as better actors but also as more confident, self-aware individuals.

If you’re serious about acting and want to train with one of the best in the industry, Terry Knickerbocker Studio is an absolute must. I can't recommend it highly enough!

I had some inspiring days doing a workshop with Terry at Schott Acting studio in Berlin. Terry is a generous giving teacher. Working with him is a playground. He has such great ideas! and encourages you to make bold choices, try things out, do some bad acting and see where it leads you. I learned a lot by watching as well as acting in a scene. He gave me deeper commitment to character and storytelling, to work with my imagination. He made me realize again we as actors have so much to share of our humanity.

As in any good work of art, Terry meets you in the moment, and no matter where you are in your journey with Meisner technique, steers you towards a deeper relationship with your craft.
Terry is generous with his presence and immediacy, and with compassionate but firm focus, offers a safe space to explore and grow.
His extensive experience is invaluable and you truly get the sense you are working with a master. What a privilege!

I learnt many acting techniques and methodologies which was an eye opener. All the scenes polished my acting and brought confidence for my acting career. Terry is an amazing coach; he inspires and empowers the entire audience. Thanks a million Terry!

I had the privilege of participating in a four day workshop with Terry in Vancouver. I found the work challenging and very rewarding. Terry has an extraordinary ability to give each actor what they need to progress in their work. His insights into my own obstacles transformed my work.
