Acting Teacher
"You're lucky when you find something that gives as much joy as teaching acting gives me."
Terry McGovern has been a professional actor all his adult life and has enjoyed success in radio and TV as a broadcaster. His resume shows an extensive amount of work, but, McGovern says, "What I'm proudest of is working with other actors, helping them get the most out of themselves and stretching their limits."
One of Terry's students, actor Jerry Van De Veere puts it this way: "Terry understands acting and has the ability to communicate that understanding to his students. When you study with Terry, you learn."
Terry's education background includes undergraduate study at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he majored in Journalism and English. Years later, while living in Los Angeles, he studied acting with the legendary Stella Adler and the dynamic Milton Katselas.
Terry has been teaching voice and acting for several years and has acquired a large following of beginners and professionals. Terry’s main focus as a teacher is as artistic director of The Marin Actors’ Workshop, which he founded five years ago in San Rafael, California. The core of the workshop is the Tuesday and Thursday night scene and monologue classes, which he teaches. MAW also offers several courses in on-camera and voice-over technique.
