“Before I worked with Elise, I felt clueless about the steps I could take to advance my career beyond training vigorously in an acting class. I was no doubt a passionate artist, but I felt stuck due to a lack of knowledge about the business of acting. With Elise's guidance, I learned very quickly that the success of my career is within my own power. Through each session, she gracefully and compassionately helped me to clarify specifc goals and actions, which empowered me to grow beyond my former comfort zone to achieve more. Before working with Elise, I believed that I had to move to L.A. ASAP in order to advance my TV/film career; since working in Power Group, I've booked my first two co-stars in my current location!” ​ - Darrionna Barnes

"I am ever so grateful to Elise for encouraging me to pursue recording audiobooks as a viable employment option as an actor. It was Elise who first recognized that I could and should narrate - something I had always wanted to do, but thought would be an impossible market to crack, or at the very least difficult to get in the door to audition for. Elise laid out the process for submitting, shared contacts and 6 months later I got a call to record my first book. Elise is not only a generous person and a professional business coach, her creativity as an artist is contagious. I use a phrase I’ve heard others say that describes what Elise did. It’s called 'sending the elevator back down' so you bring people up with you. I'm inspired to do the same with my resources. Thanks Elise for paving a path!"

"I can confidently say 2018 was my most successful year as an actor. I booked my first voiceover gig, and earned over $14,000 from commercial acting work, which feels amazing! I can trace much of my success to the audition, mindset and marketing strategy I worked on with Elise in the Global Actor Power Group. Elise has a knack for helping actors communicate their intentions powerfully to industry professionals in a way that does not feel needy or pushy. She will definitely push you past your comfort zone— in a good way! Through our work, I was able to gain legit representation and am finally auditioning and being considered for top-tier TV + Film work."  

-Eric Leeb (The Presidents Show, The Perfect Murder, Mysteries at the Museum)

"Before taking the plunge and working with Elise’s Power Groups I was feeling scattered about which goals to pursue and how to focus my efforts with two “day jobs” sucking up a lot of time and energy. I was throwing a lot of spaghetti at the wall in the hopes that anything would stick. With my goal of breaking in to the audiobook industry, Elise worked with me on the various technical aspects I needed to understand and perfect – from ways to use the training I already had as an actor, to new and specific skills needed as a narrator. Through my work with her I refined that technique, figured out which genres I was best suited to, made a demo, and crafted reach-out letters. The beautiful thing about Elise is her generosity in not just helping you be ready, but in sharing her contacts. I booked my first audiobook through one of her referrals (about a third of the way into my second Power Group session) and am about to record my third audiobook (that's 3 in three months!).  

None of this would have happened without Elise. It’s not just that she provides structure and accountability – she becomes your champion. She genuinely wants to see you succeed. I just renewed my third Power Group session because I have additional creative goals I want to pursue, and I know with Elise in my corner I will get farther than I ever could alone. She’s helped me feel powerful and confident – and I know it’s only a matter of time before my dream of saying goodbye to my day jobs and making 100% of my income as an actor becomes a reality."

"If I had not been made aware of and then took the step to work with Elise, I would not be in the position I am in now. For the first time in my life, I am a working voice actor, having just signed on to voice three audiobooks for a local publisher. Next week I'll be recording a video game demo with a world renowned demo producer. Neither of these things would have happened had I not been working with Elise. I have worked with other business coaches and marketing coaches over the past 4 years or so and literally nothing changed. There was no forward movement. I'm not saying their techniques won't work for anyone, but they didn't work for me.  

Elise brought support, validation, connection and real concrete "Go and do THIS" instructions that were actionable, logical and showed measurable results. Working with Elise has made a huge difference."  

- Eric Fox

"Just over a year ago, I felt stagnant and scattered in my acting career. Working with Elise was a complete game-changer for me. Membership in the Global Actor Power Group gave me the focus and direction I needed to get organized, grow my network and begin to understand exactly what was in my control.  

It’s been one year since beginning the journey with Elise and in addition to celebrating reaching my one-year goal this week, I have also gained the confidence and perspective to let things flow. I now understand how to create buzz for my career and I can’t wait to set my next goal & attain it! I wouldn’t have known where to start if it were not for Elise & The Global Actor."

“Elise is spectacular at helping you set a specific action plan to get results, whether that's trying to get new representation or forming other industry relationships. But she's also great at getting you into the right mindset, as a human being, to be able to take those steps with joy and fearlessness. It's a complete approach, and it really works.” ​ - Ellen Adair (Homeland, The Slap, Billions)
