Vice:
Terence talks TEMPEST and The Under Presents by Tender Claws 
VRFocus:
"An actor takes the role of Prospero – in my case it was the very talented Terence Leclere – guiding proceedings by reciting the story, advancing the scenes and most importantly, guiding the group to enact various roles and bring the narrative to life"
CNet:
"Think of the host as a type of dungeon master that can summon objects, transport the players to new locations or weave a story together. We became the pieces that made his tale a reality."
No Proscenium:
“stalwart of the Los Angeles immersive theatre scene, Terence Leclere... provides a warm, meta-welcome to the experience."
"Leclere has a way of speaking that’s simply hypnotic; his poetic, dulcet tones quickly put me at ease...”
Terence talks with Noah Nelson about his company #metaforyou and immersive interactive theater on the No Proscenium Podcast

A recollection through the immersive Tension Experience featuring Terence
Broadway World:
"tall" "oversexed" "party boy"
The Verge:
Terence featured in an article about immersive interactive storytelling in music festivals
Stage Raw:
“chilling, climactic”, “otherworldly”
LA Weekly:

LAist:
"hilarious and memorable"; "Terence Leclere conveys a perfectly discerning delicacy and empathic angst…” & “Leclere also has a weird, but ultimately compelling Dan Aykroyd kind of vibe that we really dig."
Backstage:
"pricelessly funny"
The Huffington Post:
"I can see his courage... as he stands on the stage, speaking a truth that might seem on the surface embarrassing..., but under the embarrassment, is the story of connection and longing for shared experience. That’s what his story was about: how, inside our solitary hearts, we all share in each other’s shame and pleasure, pain and joy."
A.V. Club:
"painfully cute"
StageSceneLA:
"Leclere is so convincing as the sexy German that I had to stay after the performance to verify that he is indeed a New Yorker and not auf Deutchland"
