My story begins...
...on a cozy couch in the 5th district of Paris. Like every night I lay huddled with my younger siblings reading books to them way past our bedtime. Bringing stories to life and coming up with unique character voices came to me as naturally as breathing. I loved to take them through thought-provoking worlds and coax full-belly laughs out of them. It was also my way of making up for the endless plays and unilateral casting choices I forced upon them when channeling my inner Jo March...
Some of you may be wondering "Wait do you speak French or English then?". The answer is both! I also happen to be fluent in German and know some basic Japanese. My business studies led me to the south of France, New York, Germany and Japan where the Autumnal forests of Kyoto, random encounters and friendships left an indelible print in my heart. To keep things interesting, I spent 7 years as marketing manager for a massage and skincare guru between Paris and Japan while performing Vaudeville and Molière with the Alec Bartus theater company.
In 2016, the threads started weaving together. I moved to San Francisco and joined the Leela improv company which rekindled my childhood sense of play and my yearning to share this again through the power of storytelling... Fast forward to today, I have recorded over 40 audiobooks in various genres but feel especially at home in the company of witches, elves and dwarves in whom I can pour my "hint of elsewhere" to delight and inspire listeners way past their bedtime :)

Reviews“Elisabeth Lagelee's narration is excellent. She has an unusual but memorable voice with a slight accent that adds to the make-believe aspect of the story...” |
