"Leila was the consummate professional. Quick to reply, well prepared and engaged every moment of the shoot. Both the client and the production team found her to be an excellent choice for the filming. The final promotional video was a hit with partners and viewers. I would recommend Leila to anyone seeking a fantastic actor for their next project."
Desiree Sirard, Harvard Business School
"We used Leila for a product demo video, and will use her again. Not only is she an excellent actor, but what’s just as important is how hard she works to help the production crew get the shots they need. No diva ego here – Leila sees herself as part of the team, and that makes her invaluable on set."

Best Of Miami®, Arts & Entertainment, 2024
Best Actor in a Female Role.
Easily going from glam to gritty, Miami actress Lela Elam is nothing if not convincing. As Morgan Wright in Zoetic Stage's Clark Gable Slept Here, she originated the role of the Hollywood diva pissed to be called away from the Golden Globes to help clean up a murder mess. Elam seamlessly juggled multiple roles in the Actors' Playhouse production of A Rock Sails By. And she killed it as no-nonsense Coach Odessa Hicks in this season's The Girls of Summer with M Ensemble Company. The role, which hearkened the 1992 classic film A League of Their Own, had the actress leading a team of Black female baseball players in the '40s. Her range and convincing portrayals make it pretty clear that as an actress, Elam is herself in a league of her own.
Lisa is an easy cast for a mom, professor, teacher, lawyer, girlfriend, nurse, wife, ex-wife. Quirky, natural, casual, confident, decent, proud, and funny have all been used to describe her as an actor.
