I'm not the girl next door
My voice will take you places

Bonjour! Please call me Eli. I love baguettes and creating audiobook magic (and if your story involves baguettes, we should definitely talk ).
I grew up in Paris and lived in four different countries so whether your story needs English, native Parisian French, German or even basic Japanese, I have got you covered! My voice is soothing and has a hint of an accent, ideal for bringing far-off places - or times - to life. Listen to my latest releases or explore my demos below.

My story begins...
Click on the pic to get a list of my favorite Paris haunts and restaurants!
...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.
Growing up bilingual, I was always fascinated by other languages and cultures. My business 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 60 audiobooks - in both English and French - and have lent my voice to video games, commercials and explainer videos (Cisco, TED). I feel especially at home in the company of spirited young women, sarcastic witches and playful pirates that entice listeners beyond the scope of their daily lives and inspire them to embrace the unfamiliar...

“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...”
