Aanii! Hello, welcome.
Any excuse to show off the mocs.
So, me. Who, me?
I’m Elise (she/they), a voice actor living in the Midwest. Originally from northern Michigan, I am mixed race Ojibwe/Euro-American, disabled, 2S, F/NB, MFA - if you’ve got boxes to fill, chances are I fit into a handful of ‘em.
Whether you’re looking for hometown quirk, gravitas, character, raw emotion, or that illusive somethin’-somethin’ you just can’t put your finger on - I got you. Stoodis.
Bookable for studio recording in Chicago and throughout Michigan. I am also happy to record remotely from my professional home studio via Source Connect or on the virtual connection platform of your choice.
Chi miigwetch (many thanks) for stopping by!

“Narrator Elise Randall Modica brings heart to this story, set in Michigan in 1914… Modica, who is Ojibwe herself, captures the Anishinaabemowin-inflected cadences of Norvia's elders. Other stand-out characterizations include Norvia's indomitable little sister, her endearingly pompous new stepbrother, and her unremittingly kind stepfather…This domestic charmer hums with love.”

“Stars: 5
Lovely.
The narration was spot on. I cannot imagine anyone else playing the part. Beautifully done.”
— NetGalley “The Luminous Life of Lucy Landry”
“Indigenous voice actor Elise Randall Modica enhances the authenticity as Johnson's sensitive aural surrogate… Modica is mostly an easy, even narrator, but she displays her charm when assuming precocious eight-year-old Dicta's pronouncements and wannabe suitor Aylmer's courtly speeches. VERDICT Johnson's historical fiction warms hearts--and ears.”

“Great way to start your day.
Started listening to [This Day in History] during a difficult time in my life and it’s now become a staple in my daily routine. I love the interesting and informative bits of history I learn. There is a true comfort in hearing Elise say, have a great day. Thank you.”
