"Debra's class has truly changed my life.  She is the most encouraging teacher and mentor that I have ever had. Once, Debra wanted  me to audition for a play, so I went and auditioned, and became part of the ensemble.  Well, it was a musical, which is something I had never done before, but when Debra believes in you, you feel like you can do anything.  Ultimately, being in that play changed my life and increased my love for acting.  Once you meet Debra and come under her acting umbrella, your life only gets better from there."

"Wow where do I begin...Debra DeLiso has truly been an amazing guiding light for me as an actor throughout class and even in my journey as a working actor in the business. She has really helped me (a considerable amount) with the shedding process of many layers of amateurism over the years which has allowed me to become and work even harder towards maintaining a more confident, productive and serious actor! This lady is serious and truly expressive with her craft and knows what she's doing to an infinite degree! When I'm in class I feel like she's my private coach even when others are in attendance! A great actress, instructor, mentor, character, role model...she's my friend for a lifetime!"

"I love working with Debra! The class is a wonderfully warm and supportive environment. I find that vital for fostering the confidence to expose one's emotional vulnerability in order to express the true life of the character. Debra encourages and inspires you to reach beyond that barrier we all set up for comfort-sake, to access the bold and brilliant actor within. The welcoming nature of the class helps me take the kind of risks necessary for an engaging performance."

"Debra brings a wealth of experience and knowledge from a range of disciplines including acting, directing, writing, dancing, singing, improv, yoga, and more.  More than just a teacher, Debra walks the walk and continues to not only act but develops her own material, shows, and projects.  With a keen insight into the craft and the business there's always something to learn from every workshop.  An excellent class to study the "craft" of acting in a safe environment, push your creative boundaries, and become a better actor."
