TESTIMONIALS
"Her style is a breath of fresh air. The techniques speak to all levels of talent—beginners and working pros. Staying healthy is crucial, and Karen can show you the way!"
Darius Marquis Johnson - Actor/Choreographer - Los Angeles, CA
"Karen is such a passionate teacher who loves all things vocal health! I lost my voice recently due to a very bad cold, and she messaged me right away so we could work on some vocal health remedies. She recommended Neti Wash Plus which I absolutely love. She is a wealth of vocal knowledge and I highly recommend her!"
Jennifer Sun Bell - Actor/VO/ Singer/Mocap - Los Angeles, CA
“Karen is a very caring and understanding teacher who is very knowledgeable about vocal health and singing. I feel like I have more knowledge and skills to care for my voice, so I can have a long-lasting career in the voiceover industry.”
Dina Mujanovic, Actor/Model/Acrobat - Seoul, South Korea
"Hi everyone! My vocal coach is having a class on protecting your voice and there's a playback if you can't make it. I've found her coaching really helpful especially with some vocal problems I've been having for years! If you're finding you're always hurting yourself - especially with belting or VO efforts, this would be a great class for you!" :)
