Aliza Pearl (she/her) is an LA-based, New Jersey-bred actor, writer (film/tv/games), improviser, and gamemaster.

Of African-American, Puerto Rican, and Afro-Caribbean heritage, Aliza continues to hone her voice by focusing on characters with split cultural ties, through scifi, comedy and genre storytelling. Having gotten her start in musical theater, she regularly performs narrative improv with Ripley Improv, and the improvised Star Trek inspired show “The Improvised Generation”.

Aliza also works as a professional game writer and gamemaster, running TTRPG games in many genres and settings like Dungeons & Dragons, Star Trek, Marvel, Hellboy, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and writing for video games. Aliza feels that gaming helps keep her story brain sharp, and makes diving into story, character, and dialogue an easier feat.
