Elisa Eliot's Acting Studio Blog
http://elisaeliot.blogspot.com/
Hi there! I am Elisa Eliot, founder and owner of Elisa Eliot's Acting Studio. I am an actress and acting coach in Los Angeles with a degree in drama from Yale University. I give private acting lessons, group classes, and industry coaching in the Los Angeles area to beginners, professionals, children, and adults.
I am starting a blog because I believe a great way to learn about acting and to strengthen one's own acting abilities is to watch and study the performances of others. In each post I will take a look at a performance in a film or television series and discuss it. Also, feel free to post questions and comments! Enjoy!
