THEATRE DIRECTION

"In director Elisa Carlson's strikingly designed staging, the play is no less potent or profound -- and perhaps even more so."   Atlanta Journal

VOICE, DIALECT and TEXT COACHING

"Elisa is really at the top of her field.  Deep skills combine with an intuitive sense of the acting process and a great sense of humor to make the collaboration rewarding.  I've learned as much about text and sound from her as anyone in my career." ​ 

Chris Coleman, Artistic Director, The Denver Center

IMDB Page:  ElisaCarlson

"Elisa has the unique capacity to make her dialect work utterly intertwined with character development work;
her skill set as a director thoroughly infuses her vocal coaching work and actors - and productions -
are always greatly enhanced by her work."
