Prior to opening Houde School of Acting in 2005, Jessica Houde-Morris spent six years studying at the prestigious Playhouse West in Los Angeles. She later became an instructor and taught alongside Robert Carnegie, who studied directly under Sanford Meisner himself, making her one of the few second generation Meisner Technique teachers. In addition, Jessica has experience working alongside Jeff Goldblum, James Franco, Shawnee Smith, Scott Caan as well as many others.

Proudly affiliated with Playhouse West in Los Angeles, Houde School of Acting is one of the world’s premier acting schools that still provides a wide range of virtual classes that students can attend from anywhere in addition to our in-person classes.
