I participated in the Summer Intensive & it was one of the best decisions I've ever made! I am more fully self expressed, allowing my inner self to match my outer. Terry, Nate, Matt & Kana are some of the most high integrity teachers I've had the pleasure to learn with. If you are on the fence, just...
I had the privilege of studying with Terry over 15 years ago, and was thrilled to hear about the opening of his very own studio. I recently enrolled in his master acting class after many years and was quickly reminded why Terry truly is the More
This studio specifically Terry, makes sure you never forget why you're here. To be the best actor you can be. I will be forever grateful that I found this studio. After taking the two year conservatory and now one of his masterclasses, I just want to keep growing, learning and working. Terry is some...
Zoom. Remote actor training.
I never thought real work could be done over soon until I had the opportunity to audit a scene study masterclass over zoom.
It was phenomenal. The material, the direction, the acting and Terry s insight. It was surreal like watching a movie you re a part of.
Thi...
Terry s online Master Class was a wonderful workout for me as an actor now spending so much time at home. Terry is insightful, kind, a deep thinker and artist, and has the keen ability to help an actor see what he or she needs not just during scene work, but in their process as a whole. I would reco...
Upon walking in and seeing TK Studio for the first time, I realized how serious Terry Knickerbocker is about building an environment conducive to learning. Every inch of the space leads one closer to the reason we are all there; the work. With his attention to detail moment-to-moment, Terry keeps pr...
I recently took Terry s LA Masterclass. What an amazing teacher this guy is!! He is a library of knowledge on all things acting. His approach and feedback are honest but gentle, he doesn t rip actors apart, nor does he pat you on the back just to get your money. Most teachers will tell actors what ...
Terry has been the most important teacher for my acting life. His ability to be exactly what you need, whether it s a drill sergeant, a compassionate guru, a goofy friend or, in my case, all of the above, he has a way of figuring out what speaks to you and adapting himself so he can get through to y...
I trained with Terry in his 2 year Meisner Conservatory Program and I continue to return to TK Studio to train with him in his master classes. Terry is a phenomenal teacher! Every time I work with Terry, I am challenged to grow in my artistry. Terry is a gift to actors. He is insightful, deeply pa...
A big fan of Terry here for many reasons..
1. And this is my favorite reason.. his adjustments. The way he communicates his adjustments is fantastic. Anybody can pick them up. He reminds me of Moss. His use of simile is priceless and the amount of love he wraps those adjustments should not be...
Truly, I cannot recommend training at this studio enough. Studying with Terry has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Not only is Terry filled with knowledge and wisdom about acting and the industry, but he is also incredibly perceptive, kind, and overflowing with truth and empathy. Thi...
If you are a holistically minded actor and committed to being an artist then this studio is the best place to train. The faculty are wise and commit themselves outright to the blossoming of each student and the ensemble as a whole. This is not a studio to simply plow thru the different level courses...
One can only benefit from time spent at Terry Knickerbocker Studio- the faculty s belief in craft, attention to detail, and passion in the pursuit of maximizing their student s potential are on par with any institution I ve ever encountered.
Terry is of a very rare breed, a master in his field, w...
I've trained with Terry for two years. He and the entire staff at the studio are all completely invested in the success of the students. The space is safe and encouraging, making the unavoidable failures of any artistic journey not only manageable, but as a sign of growth and respect amongst classma...
I came to The Terry Knickerbocker studio at the ripe age of 19. I had no idea what I was in for but I am glad I came. I could never find any other words to describe my experience there other than riveting. It was the most alive I d ever felt in my life. I ll use a few words that wont even do it just...
Terry Knickerbocker Studio is an excellent studio. I have pages of great things to say but most people don't read that long so here are the bullet points. At TK Studio, you work closely and personally with Terry. He takes the time to get to know you and your work. He offers HONEST critiques of your ...
Terry did a 4 day intensive in Atlanta and it was absolutely incredible. You can tell that acting is embedded in every cell in his body and he truly does care. His patience is unmatched which also created a really safe environment to be free & feel. While those 4 days were hard I felt like I grew so...
I met Terry at a workshop I audited in Atlanta. I was greeted with the most sincere welcome. Terry is a genuine and caring teacher. His knowledge and the way he communicates is a true gift. I sat in two sessions and watch how he took the actors to another level with their skills. I have stud...
I have been working with Terry for over a year now, after taking a break from acting for quite some time to have kids. It was terrifying getting back on the horse - I felt like I wasn't an "artist" anymore, and had no right to think that I could be again. Terry treated me (as he treats all of his st...
I only had a chance to audit one day of the 4 day intensive at Drama Inc. in Atlanta (it sold out quickly), but it was still invaluable. The feedback and coaching he gave during the running of scenes was simple, direct, and actionable, and I saw it change the performances immediately. I am now doing...
It s hard to compress all the reasons why I recommend studying with Terry into a quick review but I ll try. I ve had many teachers throughout the years but no one has had the impact that Terry has made on my life as an artist and ultimately as a human being. My only regret is that I didn t find hi...
Terry is the best teacher I have ever had, in any subject, across all academic and artistic boundaries. What he has taught me about acting may be secondary to what he has taught me about my approach to life. He is responsible for cultivating my sense of communication and interaction with other peop...
Terry Knickerbocker Studio is an AMAZING acting studio. It is helmed by the brilliant Terry himself who challenges, inspires, collaborates, but more importantly, builds relationships with his students. He always comes ready to teach with consistent, high intensity energy and pushes his students to b...
Terry Knickerbocker Studio is my artistic home. Terry and his faculty are incredible working with them has changed me as an actor and as a person in all of the best ways. TKS molds individuals, not cookie cutters I trust Terry and his faculty one hundred percent. While the studio itself is a won...
Best decision I've ever made! This studio is a very special place and Terry is the best teacher/coach I've ever been around. I can't recommend working with him enough.
The best acting teacher/studio experience I have ever had.
Terry visited Drama Inc. (what I consider the best acting studio in Atlanta, GA) in February 2020 and I was lucky enough to be one of the INCterns helping with the week of Master Classes.
Terry is simply the best.
He puts the Master in Master Class. He displays talent, attitude, skills, and ed...
Participating in Terry s Master Class on Zoom was rewarding, exciting and fundamental in pushing me to take the next steps towards becoming a working actor. Witnessing first hand the expertise with which my fellow classmates worked on their scenes became, in and of itself, a learning experience whic...

All of the teachers at the studio as well as Terry are beyond qualified to make sure you are nurtured and excel to the very best of your abilities. The space i...
In my ten years of studying acting at various schools and programs, honestly I have to say Terry made an impact on my that will stay with me for the rest of my life. He creates such a safe and focused environment that allows you to be open and truly explore what it is you have to offer as an artist....
Working with Terry has always kept me sharp as an actor. He truly strives for excellence in his students, and I'd have it no other way.
Terry Knickerbocker is excellent, and stands for excellence. He is a deeply knowledgable communicator of his own tradition, and has a palpable curiosity of other ways of working, which I have seen and experienced first hand. He is sure-handed and secure enough in his own way to be flexible to the ne...
I had the opportunity to take the first Atlanta 4 day Terry Knickerbocker Intensive and it was the absolute best experience. It was challenging and so very rewarding. We always strive for precision and clarity in our work and Terry did an incredible job leading us there. The notes were direct and su...
I haven t felt this inspired, up for any challenge, ready to take the best care of my instrument as a whole, ready to dive in deeper than ever, in a long time. I forgot so many wonderful parts of actor training, voice, movement...details and basics that I needed to get back to. This class challenge...
One of the most amazing experiences I ve had as a human and an actor. Terry creates an environment that made me feel comfortable to explore and discover aspects of myself that I was afraid of and didn t even know existed. Gentle & insanely honest. I continue to learn from Terry and look forward to d...
Working with Terry has been invaluable to me as an artist. His special gift for seeing actors true selves, often before they do, alongside his standard of excellence, precision, compassion and patience has all helped me become the artist I am today. My time with Terry in the studio never leaves me ...
If you're interested in not only being a better actor, but an actor that also strives for the highest of quality of work, this is the place to sharpen your blade. The standards are high, the work is demanding, and if you can find an opportunity to study with Terry or any of the faculty here, you wi...
This past summer I had the privilege of participating in TK's Summer Intensive. I have trained at other schools and studios in New York and I can confidently say that the Terry Knickerbocker Studio is something special. Their mission statement "training the passionate actor committed to excellence" ...
In January, I started training as an actor at Terry Knickerbocker Studio in Brooklyn. I took a leap of faith, moved to New York, and enrolled in this full-time program. My teacher Terry Knickerbocker asked me if I wanted to come do this work with him, to learn about myself, and to transform. With CO...
Where can I begin about this incredible experience? Terry is easy to know, direct, supportive, and brings to his class knowledge that cannot be compared to any class I have taken! His wonderful direction changed my scene from a disaster to, on the last day, something he seemed quite pleased with! ...
Terry taught a 4 day intensive in Atlanta I was lucky enough to be a part of! I absolutely loved the importance he puts on the writing and the words of the playwrights. This is something that s rarely taught in Atlanta. I would recommend him to anyone wanting to better their craft!
Terry is truly one of a kind teachers that will push you to be the best that you can be. He s authentic, invested in each and every student and so inspiring. After studying with him for the 2yr program few years ago I came back for the summer masterclass and felt alive again. He s a master at his cr...
I have studied with many different acting coaches in both LA & NYC but after just a short time spent with Terry, I can honestly say he is the best I ve ever worked with. His teachings are invaluable. Terry has a true gift for this. I cannot wait to return for more of his incredible insight, heart & ...
Years later there s still not a day that goes by where I don t think about this studio. Absolutely life changing. I not only became a better actor but I became a better person.
When you study at Terry Knickerbocker studio - growth is inevitable.
I am deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to study at Terry Knickerbocker Studio and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to be the best actor they can be. Do not miss out on an opportunity to study here. It will c...
If only it was easy to articulate why this studio deserves 5 stars!! My experience here was life changing to say the least. If you are serious about acting then this studio is number one. Terry, the staff and the students thrive here, exemplifying excellence at its best. It can be in intimidating ch...
The growth and profound self exploration experienced through taking this journey with Terry is unparalleled; I've never felt so connected to who I am, and who I am becoming. It has opened my eyes, mind and heart to the deepest aspects of my persona, and I couldn't be more grateful to have found TKS....
Awesome training. Terry and his select staff of awesome teachers are committed to excellence of themselves and each student. They will teach you techniques to access and construct performances that are the best version of yourself for each and every role.
Do it. Just do it.
The last two years of my life spent with Terry I have seen tremendous growth in my work as an actor and in my life as a human being. He is compassionate, caring and gentle while simultaneously demanding the absolute best from each and every actor day in and day out. Terry's laser focus and intuiti...
Terry is a phenomenal teacher, coach, and mentor. He constantly pushed me to find deeper and clearer meaning in the work, myself, and the character. Everyday I learned something new from him that I found to be extremely valuable in my process as an actor and around the work. He is completely dedic...
TK Studio is an extraordinary place to train and grow as an actor. Terry s personal and thorough approach to acting (based in Meisner) and the conservatory process is - in my opinion - the best you will find anywhere. And the Studio staff are wonderful as well - TK Studio is a truly special artistic...
