I later became an instructor and had the privilege of teaching alongside Robert Carnegie, who studied directly under Sanford Meisner himself. What Others Say: “Armed with zero acting experience and zero on-camera experience, I first stepped foot into the Houde School of Acting in 2008 - not knowing what to expect. What I found was a fantastic learning environment and an amazing teacher. Not only is the Houde School the best place to study acting in Northeast Ohio, but I would argue that it could rival any acting school in the country.” Kurt Yue “I am a Talent Manager in Los Angeles and president of WAW Entertainment. HOUDE SCHOOL OF ACTING is THE place I recommend OHIO actors learn. Jessica Houde is a MASTER teacher. Hands-down the best.” Wendy Alane Wright Why Us?
