On-Set & Private Coaching
Whether on-tape or on-set, Terra’s coaching is rooted in collaboration, creativity and respect.
“I have known Terra for a few years now, and she has always been a great boon and a great advisor to my acting efforts. She would be overqualified to be an actor's resource, whether as a guide, a teacher, or just a delightful and trustworthy person to offer a few insightful pointers. I know her students think the world of her. As my audition counterpart, she could simply read the other character's lines, but she goes above and beyond even that job, by giving me nuanced feedback that has helped even this worn actor to discover new depths to his work. I cannot recommend her enough. If I could hire her as an acting advisor, I would hop to the chance immediately.”
-Finn Wittrock (The Big Short, American Horror Story, Ratched)
