Karen is very personal and in tuned with actors she works with. She’s detailed and focused on bringing out the best with those she works with.
Karen is a wonderful coach. I always feel both safe with her and challenged by her. She doesn’t shy away from tackling an actor’s deepest fears or biggest roadblocks. As a result of her sessions I am more present and emotionally self-aware and able to bring myself to the material that I tackle. I’m very grateful to Karen!
Karen was a fantastic instructor who stretched me in new ways and opened my eyes to the acting world. As somebody with no previous acting experience, I found her extremely patient and helpful. She spoke honestly without putting me down when and consistently encouraged me to dig deeper into different characters and find ways to project my own experiences into scenes. She's such an authenticate and compassionate person. I would highly recommend Karen!
Each session begins with a cluster of three warm up acting exercises. This is to presents the actor and helps with releasing self-consciousness and nerves. We then move onto scripted material. All you have is words on a piece of paper where do you go from there. We start with the first reading exercise and eventually move to a rule where you read the script and learn script analysis and character development Along with a number of acting techniques To keep in your toolbox and help you approach many different roles.
