TESTIMONIALS

"I took Karen’s "How to Protect Your Voice on Zoom” workshop in February of 2022. As a court interpreter, I am very interested in voice quality because of the strain we put on our vocal cords, especially with simultaneous interpreting. Karen really understood what interpreters do and how the different modes of interpreting affect our vocal cords. She knew exactly what problems we would have, and gave specific, practical solutions. I was so impressed by her clever tips that I decided to schedule private lessons with her, and I have not been disappointed!"

Michelle J. Gonzales - Pooler, GA - State Certified Court Interpreter

"I'm very much so into holistic health and still learned about some new tools and resources. Karen was clear, concise, kind, and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed this class!"

Erikka J. Veney - Voice Actor/Singer/Writer/Entertainer

"I have always known that Karen Lyu is a master teacher and communicator. It was a pleasure for me to witness Karen present a thorough, but concise blueprint for maintaining vocal health. This webinar is of great benefit for experienced and beginner, vocalists and speakers."

Bruce A. Henry - Chicago, IL - Jazz Vocalist/Voice Coach

"This was a helpful rundown on how to take care of your voice! Karen knows exactly what she's talking about and researches the topic of vocal health meticulously. She recommends many products that might help anyone who has harmed or strained their voice, but also teaches you how to prevent bringing harm to your voice in the first place. It was a wonderful class, and it helped to know that she knew where I was coming from as a voice actor."

Chanelle Thomas - Los Angeles, CA - VO Actor

"If you want to improve your singing or speaking voice, learn how to protect it, and learn how to better use your vocal energy and range, I highly recommend Karen. She has taken my voice to a place I never thought possible. I am also amazed at how her techniques apply to my job as a language interpreter. (* Interpreter colleagues, remember that our voice is our tool, and if we do not care for it, sooner or later we will not be able to perform our job.)

David Morales - Nashville, TN - President of the Tennesse Association of Professional Interpreters and Translators (TAPIT)
