My career started when a casting director from OLGIVY&MATHER would hear me on the other end of the phone everyday, and finally said, COME IN FOR AN AUDITION. . . Eventually, I went to a 3-year intensive acting program in NYC. I am a trained professional actor with stage training. . . Singing, voice and speech teachers were always excited by my voice. . . My big break happened when I went in for an on-camera audition, they had 20 of us cattle-called in a row. . . and I remember, I said my name. . but, it sounded different then the rest. . . They said, "OK, thank you. . blah, blah blah. . and YES, Elyssa, please, can you stay." All left, the room got quiet, the casting directors offered me a script, and said, "read this", and I did. . and again, I heard this VOICE. . . I knew on the spot that I had the gig and so did they. This started me branding the introduction of high speed internet to NEW YORK CITY. . . and I became the "1-800-ok-cable" girl. . .
