    "Debbie Lamedman is truly one of the most amazing women I know. I have known her for over 8 years, and feel extremely blessed to have been able to work with her on so many levels. Debbie is sure to push you beyond your limits, and her passion for teaching and writing is on par with her ability to do so. As a director, Debbie works WITH you to make sure that together, you can create the best form of art possible. As a private coach, time was never wasted, and I felt that my money was very well-spent. Her insightful and creative mind never ceased to amaze me, and the technical training she provided me with is invaluable. I can only regard Debbie Lamedman with the highest praise and recommendation, and can assert that any actor wishing to pursue a career in theater would be wise to train with such a talented coach."

    "Debbie knows how to write for today, and for any age group. Whether you are just starting a writing career or you would like an intelligent pair of eyes to edit, Debbie can make writing accessible to anyone. Rarely can you find someone so eager to help, so enthusiastic about nearly any topic and so willing to assist in any way possible. Hiring Debbie to be your teacher or playwright is hiring a passionate friend to guide you down the sometimes tricky path of creative writing. "

    "Debbie Lamedman was my very first acting teacher. She changed my life. When I first met her I was a very shy and timid young girl who wanted to be an actress. By the end of my first year in her class I was an outgoing and confident young actress. She really knew how to pull me out of my shell. Debbie created such a warm and safe environment for young actors. I never felt self-conscious. I looked forward to her class most of all. It was always so much fun. I really grew a lot not only as an actress but also as a person. I went on to study Theatre in college, and let me tell you, Debbie is by far the best acting teacher I have ever had. I don't think I could have gotten in to such a prestigious acting school without Debbie's help on coaching my audition monologue. She worked with me until I felt totally confident with the material. I knew that monologue inside and out. Debbie was so devoted to her students and always there to help. She genuinely cares about all her students. In college I actually felt like I was ahead of most people in my acting classes because of the amazing training I had received from Debbie during High School. A teacher that is also a playwright is a dream come true because she really understands every aspect of the theatre. She knows the playwright's perspective and the actors perspective. She brilliantly directs her actors. She has a gift. I have never met someone more passionate about their craft as Debbie. I highly recommend Debbie Lamedman!"

    "Debbie Lamedman is one of the most insightful acting coaches I've ever worked with...and my students have worked with. She is a brilliant coach with unlimited resources for new monologues and scenework to explore. As well, she is a published and produced playwright, so she can utilize material from her own writing to help you become a better actor."
