Testimonials
“I have known Debby for 14 years. In fact, she was the first friend that I made when I moved to New Orleans. I have watched her grow this amazing and self-sufficient business for some time. Debby takes every effort to provide a compassionate education to her students. She offers a safe space for students to explore their skills, talents, and abilities, and the emotions and inner workings required to pursue a career in acting.
I don’t have my own children, but if I did, Debby’s studio would be the number one place that I would take them to for instruction. I know that they would receive a well-rounded education from someone whose passion for acting is matched with a heart of gold.”
Vanessa Dimitroupoulos“I am a local talent agent who has had the pleasure of working with Debby for the past year. I can’t sing her praises enough. She is SO wonderful with her students…it doesn’t matter what age or what their background is; Debby is amazing with beginners and seasoned actors alike. All of her students are prepared for the business and are ready to hit the ground running by the time they come to me. It’s such a pleasure working with her students and their awesome families. I enjoy myself every time I go to her studio. She’s truly a joy and such a great acting teacher and mentor.“
Rebecca Davis“I have been training and working under Debby Gaudet for around 10 years. While the price for her classes is extremely reasonable, the skills and professional experience I gained through knowing her are invaluable. Without Debby, I assuredly would not be where I am today. I highly recommend to anybody searching for an acting coach in the area.“
CJ Carver“Great with new actors and takes time to push them and help them succeed. Would not be where I am without her! I met Debby 3 years ago and she helped me when I just decided I wanted to become an actor. She took me on and taught me so much about acting and the business side of things. She took time to sit down with me and explain how the industry works and how to navigate the entertainment world. I owe so much to her!“
Murtaza AliAs a mom, I loved that she encouraged my daughter to be better than she was the week before, not better than the child next to her. Acting is a competitive field and Debby prepares them well for that (especially with auditions), but she is also mindful that acting is a craft mastered on an individual basis. She helps her kids discover strengths they may not have known they had. We can’t say enough about her!” Karen Ronquillo
“I’ve been studying with Debby for a little over 8 months and I cannot say enough positive things about this woman! Talk about passion, drive, and quality. She really cares about each individual that trains under her and does her best to help them make real industry connections. I’ve been acting for a large portion of my life but I can truly say that I’ve never had a mentor who encourages such honest human exploitation. Her classes ask for real emotion and spark so much creative thought it’s always one of the highlights of my week.”
Madeline Read“If you want to know how amazing, professional, and exemplary Debby Gaudet’s Screen Actors Studio is, let me put it to you this way. I drive 2 HRS every week RELIGIOUSLY to attend her classes! I have been training at her studio for about a year now and it is honestly a major highlight of my week. Mrs. Debby is experienced, knowledgeable, and creative in her methods of elevating each and every actor that enters her program to new heights. She has curated a challenging yet open atmosphere that welcomes both well seasoned actors as well as those just beginning in their acting endeavors. Mrs. Debby is a gem and I highly recommend her studio to anyone who is seriously considering a career in on screen acting.“
Prince Benford“We used Debby Gaudet as our casting director on our feature film, The Charmed Life of Fig Dauphine. Debby was amazing with actors, as we saw when we watched her coach them during the audition. She brought in professional actors, as well as her students and former students, and all were well prepared. She had a keen understanding of the characters. We were very impressed with her skills and intuition. Would definitely work with her again!“
Too Menny Films“When I first started at Debby’s studio 5 years ago I had no clue about the industry or how to get started within it. She has helped me in so many ways to open up and find my true passion, she truly cares about all her students and makes learning the craft fun and easy. Her classes are some of the most professional and instructional classes I’ve ever taken, you not only learn some acting techniques, but she also goes over the business side of the industry and really helps her students to understand everything to get started in the world of professional acting. I cannot sing this woman’s praises enough, without her I would be nowhere!“
Summer J. Campbell“I’ve know Debby since my son wanted to get involved in acting at the age of 10. We knew nothing about the industry and a friend referred us to her. The classes were professional and quite foundational for my son. He landed his first major role at age 11 and we moved to Los Angeles. My son is 22 now and we still trust Debby with direction in coaching and more. She is part of our family. She genuinely loves everyone. You will not meet someone with more concern for success in the industry for your child.“
