I'm not the girl next door
My voice will take you places!
I record in English, native Paris French and German (if you ask nicely) and speak basic Japanese.
My voice has a hint of elsewhere in the accent, ideal for bringing far-off places - or times - to life.
55 audiobooks narrated and produced from my San Francisco home studio.

My story begins...
...on a cozy couch in the Fifth district of Paris. Every night I would huddle there with my three siblings, reading to them way past our bedtime. Days were taken up by school, community theater and choir practice but I would take every opportunity to tag along my father's historical tours of Paris. Summertimes were spent boguey boarding with my mother's family in California.
Growing up bilingual, I was always fascinated by other languages and cultures. My business management studies took me me to the French riviera, the Big Apple, a castle in Germany and a magical forest in Japan. For seven years I worked at a holistic beauty startup where I learned how to serve customers in the high-end department stores of Tokyo, took part in a rose harvest in Bulgaria and finnagled over pantone colors in a Slovenian printing factory.
No matter where I was in the world, my love of play followed. After performing for two years with the Alec Bartus Theater Co. in Paris, I moved to San Francisco where I joined the Leela improv Co. When I discovered the world of narration, it seemed to be the perfect alchemy of all my past experiences... Fast forward to today, I have recorded 55 audiobooks - in both English and French - coach with Gabra Zackman and have lent my voice to a variety of VO projects (Cisco, TED). I feel especially at home in the company of spirited young women, sarcastic witches and playful demons that entice listeners beyond the scope of their daily lives and inspire them to embrace the unfamiliar... When I am not recording, I enjoy volunteering with children literacy initiatives, nature walks or reading to my little one.

“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...”

Oh, and I also capture fantasy in everyday life :)
