Meet ELISE

 

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful ELISE a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Hi ELISE, we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?

For me, confidence and self-esteem was gradually built overtime. When I was a younger kid, I was extremely nervous to perform in front of even the smallest crowd, but I think the more I pushed myself outta my comfort zone as a performer and entertainer the more Confident I became!

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

I started out as “just” an actor, but as my passion for acting grew, my passion for other similar things grew as well. I began investing in photography, Writing, and Content Creating. I liked the creative direction that I got from those other aspects of the industry as I began growing my commercial and theatrical acting reel.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

I think one of the most important skills in any industry is communication. Along with that is networking and the ability to form networks within your community. Being a peoples person definitely helps but coming from a 60% of the time, shy kid Getting out there and doing it is the best way to improve these skills.

Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?

I am always looking for other creatives to collaborate with. I primarily work with fellow actors and photographers in the Los Angeles area to create stuff for the screen, but I am also open to creating other forms of art as well!
