Acting Professionally

My son has been attending these classes for several months now. Terry does an outstanding job working with the young men and women. We have both seen the wonderful growth with my son. Well done!

I’ve been trying to call this acting class for two weeks with no reply. Disappointing.

Where do I begin… My life has completely changed in the year and a half I’ve been taking classes here. I’ve always wanted to act but was too afraid and ignorant to pursue it, until one day I called and talked to Terry and she allowed me to audit a class. At that class I knew that moment that I wanted to try it out, so I signed up. With Terry’s guidance, I came over my fears and allowed myself to start having fun and in the process, I started getting pretty good. Now that I’m about to leave the class because I moved to LA (for acting), I can’t thank her enough for what she has done for me as a teacher and a friend. It’s because of her that I have found a new zest for life. She isn’t going to make you star, only you can do that, but she will give you the tools to improve each week, so you can make yourself as good as you want to be.
Her teaching style is one of the best. She’s very respectful and gives you constructive criticism. Everybody gets in front of the camera, no stragglers.

In 10+ years of modeling and acting, I’ve never really had any formal training, but have learned by watching others. I took this class because my agent recommended I do so to stay competitive in this market area. Initially taking it to merely add to my resume and get a «check in the box», I am extremely happy that I took this class! I’ve learned, networked, and very much look forward to class every week! I can’t say enough about Terry. She enjoys her work, enjoys teaching others, and really likes to hear when we land work in our field. If I could rate Acting Professionally with 6 or 7 stars, I would — it’s that good!!!

Terry Ross is an outstanding teacher! She helps kids evolve their acting talent in a friendly, welcoming and game-​like environment. My son has been going to the kids class for about two years now and he absolutely loves it! He bloomed and matured as an actor thanks to Terry’s unstoppable energy and love of her profession.

Terry is wonderful with kids! My kids have gained tremendously from her classes over the past 2 years! Their communication skills, confidence, and creativity have developed greatly during their training with Terry. I highly recommend Terry’s kids classes, summer camps, and show case!

My daughter has been acting for more than 10 years but in the year we have been with Terry, she has learned more than all of the previous 10 year combined! Terry is very knowledgable and helpful and the classes are each very helpful. We would recommend this class to anyone who wants to gain valuable experience (and have fun, too).

Terry is very knowledgeable and works very well with all ages. My teenager loves acting class and looks forward to going every week. The annual showcase is a fantastic experience for all aspiring actors. Very well run and extremely entertaining.

My Son has been attending Terry’s classes for more than 5 yrs. (since he was 6 ½ y/​o). Not only do her classes help develop the skills to become a professional actor but help children develop confidence in public speaking and self-​esteem. Terry’s classes are fun and help nurture and develop the creativity and imagination it takes to succeed in the profession. I highly recommend Acting Professionally for Parents who want to expose their children to Acting (TV, Commercial, Film, and Theatrical) without worry of getting «ripped off». Terry is someone you can confide and trust in to help make decisions regarding your child’s acting future (and who knows, for some, career).

By far the best Acting Studio in San Diego!
Terry is an absolute joy to work with. She is so patient and very smart. Her teachings over exceeded our expectations and I know our daughter has learned so much and really enjoys her class. The showcase was a hit for sure and from it, our daughter has been signed with 2 agents. We look forward to another year!

AWESOME acting studio! Terry gave me all the tools I needed to get my career going! I learned industry info, audition techniques, scene study, improv and more! I started with classes, then did her Showcase, where I was picked up by one of San Diego’s premier agencies. That was in 2011 and I’ve been a working actor ever since! My training at Acting Professionally gave me a solid foundation to be a confident, prepared actor when I walk into an audition room!
