My name is Claudeen Benoit™ and I’ve spent over 25 years deeply devoted to the art of performance, rigorously training across multiple disciplines — Professional Acting, Theater, Film, Music, TV, Commercial, and Dance. My journey has been shaped by professional-level training at more than 15+ prestigious performing arts conservatories in New York City and New Jersey, each adding to my foundation as a performing artist.
From the very beginning, as early as the age of 3, my training has been intense and structured, designed not just to learn, but to prepare me for a career in the field. The first 15 years were demanding, with a six-day-a-week schedule, Monday through Saturday. My mornings began at 6 AM in a traditional academic setting, which were then followed by afternoons and evenings spent in an intensive performance arts training environment. Throughout this rigorous training schedule, I also led dance teams, represented my peers as a student council member, whilst managing drama club activities, professional choir activities, media collaborations, actual performance engagements, and beyond, dedicating myself fully to the field.
At the heart of this experience was a pursuit of excellence, learning both the technical and emotional depth of performance. My training wasn't simply about learning techniques — it was about preparing for a professional career in the arts. Every class, every rehearsal, every performance built the foundation for what would become my career.
Following the first 15 yDSears of my performance arts training, The next chapter of my journey took me to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, a highly selective, rigorous, full-time performing arts conservatory.
During my time there I was awarded the Princess Grace Foundation Scholarship towards my Attendance. Whilst there, I immersed myself in advanced performance techniques, continuously refining my craft and in-depth performance methods to ensure my professional growth and professional career in the field.
These styles included, Advanced Acting Styles, Advanced Acting for the
Stage, Shakespearean Theater & Greek Theater, Theater History & Stage Makeup, Directed Acting Study, Classical Voice & Speech, Professional Fencing, and these styles were inclusionary of the foundational Acting methods of the Meisner Technique, Method Acting, Uta Hagen Technique & Advanced Musical Theater and more.
I’m also incredibly honored to be part of the Academy’s alumni alongside some of the industry’s greatest talents like Anne Hathaway, Danny DeVito, and Robert Redford, Dennis Haysbert, Grace Kelly, Kim Cattrall, Adrien Brody, Jennifer Coolidge, Robert Redford, and many more. The academy’s alumni also collectively boast 112 Oscar, 359 Emmy, 102 Tony Awards and Nominees. To be part of this tradition is a testament to the level of training that has prepared me for a lifelong career in the arts.
