TRAINING and SKILLS
Karen has been acting and studying theatre for most of her life. Her education includes an AA in theatre with an emphasis in acting. In addition to steady on-stage performance, she regularly participates in classes, workshops, intensives, and one-on-one training. When it comes to audiobooks, Karen is equally dedicated to learning and improving her skills. She regularly attends audiobook workshops, conferences, and master classes and has studied with noteable audiobook narrator coaches such as Joel Froomkin, Johnny Heller, Carol Monda, Scott Brick, PJ Ochlan, and more. Her aptitude for dialects/accents and character voices makes her a great fit for fiction and bios/memoirs.
Due to Karen's life experience working in the banking, legal and technology fields, she is fluent in “legalese” and financial and technical terminology. Working as a costumer and antiques/vintage dealer, she has developed a deep affinity for history and historical events and the stories found there. She has also developed an understanding of medical terms and research from spending over half her life researching natural supplements and natural healing, and she is an advocate for the whole health approach.
