This is her now - click here! Karen is the #1 Jazz Artist in Korea on Reverbnation!

Karen's passion for singing, and struggle with her own voice, have led her to over a dozen voice instructors--including Roberta Davis (Berklee School of Music) and Dr. Oren Brown (Juilliard), researching various methods--including Seth Riggs' Speech Level Singing and Dr. Morton Cooper's ("The Voice Doctor") and voiceover training with Don Cosgrove (The Talent Center), various holistic health workers, and over 20 years of voice coaching. Most recently, she earned John Henny's New Science of Singing voice instructor certification, Jim Kwik's Superbrain course completion certification, and took Malo's Advanced Scatting course.
