I can’t tell you how grateful I am to be making this progress with my voice and with my students. I gave an 8-hour chant workshop yesterday and it’s my first time teaching so long in the day that I haven’t had significant vocal fatigue by the end of the day! I also incorporated some of the exercises you’ve given me in the work, since the class was for professional singers. Thank you!

Within a few sessions— via Zoom— Karen gave me the tools to really listen to my body. Karen's creative blend of vocal technique with body awareness helped me realize that I already had a good technical foundation. My voice became more free, more expressive, and more enjoyable! — Alma Alvarez, soprano M.M., University of Texas, Arlington
