Her grandparents were Holocaust survivors.[6] After graduating from Indio High School in 1978,[1] she attended the University of California, Los Angeles where she majored in kinesiology.[3] After college, she moved to Nashville to become a country singer.[7]
Her first acting role was as Skeeter in Hey Vern, It's Ernest! along with Jim Varney, which was filmed in 1987. She was also a body double for Scott Menville in Ernest Goes to Camp (1987). Scott's mother, Dorothy Menville, convinced Debi to try her hand at voice-overs. She sent her demo to several agents and casting directors, among whom Ginny McSwain who advised Debi to move back from Nashville to California and cast her as Jackie on Bobby's World.

She received a Best Actress in a Comedy award at the American Anime Awards for her work as Zatch in Zatch Bell! and for Chica's Magic Rainbow in FNAF World Update 2.[8][9][10]
Aside from her work as a voice actress, Derryberry worked on the 1993 film Free Willy as the stunt double for Jesse in some shots that showed Keiko who played Willy. She has provided the voices of a series of characters, mostly those of young boys and tomboyish girls.
