Elissa Woo is a voice over artist, cosplayer, and writer. Starting out in mini-theatre productions in high school drama class, as well as small radio works, she made the leap to voice over in early 2012.From 2015-2023, she performed under the pseudonym 'Yuriastellise'. She has since dropped the stage name for voice acting and is now using her formal name.Elissa is best known for her voice work as Hana in Learn Japanese to Survive! Kanji Combat, Setsuna (JPN) in Wartide, and as Abbigail in Songs of War."My love of the arts began when I was a wee kid. I used to mimic anything and everything I heard and saw on TV: from the childish voices in cartoons, to the suave characters and creations from Japanese anime, and even the newscasters on the 5 o'clock news! When I landed a role in a hilarious class play for my entire high school to watch, I knew this was it."In the writing sphere, she is known under the nom-de-plume 'Aescha', and in the cosplay sphere she is known as 'Nierlios'.

"Cosplay has also been an amazing supplement to the acting and learning process. When a chance arises, a personal favourite thing for me to do is to act in character while I cosplay. It's one of the coolest experiences ever. I've never looked back since!"Elissa has also placed first in an Anime Revolution Voice Actor Idol contest, second in an On the Mic voice-over competition, and, in 2016, was given an exclusive chance to mock-voice over a scene and receive incredible feedback from the Japanese sound director, Takeshi Takadera.
