"People will tell you all kinds of things, but nobody else tells you how to talk, how to make your voice get better. This is exactly what I was looking for. My voice doesn't get so tired anymore! I can roll my Rs now, and I've been trying since I took my first Spanish class in 1982! My singing is much better! I think Karen can teach anyone to sing! "

"I've spent years battling with a voice that always seemed to betray me when I needed it the most. I avoided social gatherings, telephone calls and all forms of public speaking simply because I feared that my voice would not cooperate. After fruitlessly spending hundreds of dollars on Ear, Nose and Throat doctors and speech therapists, I decided to try a vocal coach. I found Karen and what a godsend she has been. Using a variety of tools and techniques, Karen has shown me how powerful my voice can be when it is used properly. Because of Karen, I 've found that speaking before one or many is now a challenge I am willing to face.

"Everyone goes through times of weakness when you lack confidence and are filled with doubt. I was experiencing this and facing an important gig. My upper range was losing it's power and my confidence in hitting particular notes was waning. I was filled with anxiety. Karen got rid of my doubt and filled me with the knowledge, technique and, yes, the confidence I needed to sing unfettered and powerfully. She is truly a teacher you can trust to find the missing ingredients in your professional performance. Being a performer, Karen knows what it takes and can pass this on to her students. "
