More About Karen
What is a Holistic Voice Coach?
5 philosophies that shape what I offer as a holistic voice coach:
- Your body is your instrument - taking care of your body helps create a healthy voice.
- To me there are no "bad� voices, there are only voices that need effective training, practice and healthcare.
- I coach by helping you learn body awareness, so that you physically experience what works and doesn�t work - and get it in your body memory.
- Your voice is part of your identity and your soul that you share with the world every day of your life.
- The way I see it, my job is to find fun and inspiring ways that work to help you improve your voice. If I don't immediately know of a solution for your issue, I will either invent one, or do research to find one.
