A professional actor for over 30 years, Deb has had the opportunity to be trained by some of the best acting teachers in North America. Calling Los Angeles home for almost a decade, amongst the many projects she booked while living in L.A, Deb is most proud of her recurring roles on the NBC hit series, E.R and the Fox sitcom, Titus. During her nine successful years in Los Angeles, Deb trained with the likes of Howard Fine, Larry Moss and at the famed Beverly Hills Playhouse.
For the past 15 years, with this experience in hand and moving back to her hometown of Vancouver, Deb began teaching acting classes and engaging in private coaching sessions and self-tapes for youth and adult actors. The film and television industry in Vancouver is as robust as ever and the audition process is highly competitive. Deb feels prepping an actor for an audition and/or providing a strong self-tape in her infamous Blue Room can give the actor “an edge on the competition.” A solid foundation is also a key to success in this competitive industry and immersing ones self with other like minded actors in a class setting is an essential part of the process. Her highly popular classes: Mastering Scene Study and Advancing the Audition both have an ambitious theme to them. Deb feels “like a top level athlete who must train hard daily, an actor’s path should be no different!”
