Upcoming Workshops,

Events & Conventions

 

 Hello Creative and Talented One!

 

I've been getting a lot of inquiries regarding my upcoming workshops, so here is a refreshed list for the fall. Also included are upcoming events and conventions through the end of the year, where I get to meet with fans in person, chat together, sign autographs, including my new Mileena Funko Pop, exchange stories and hugs. I'll be in Los Angeles, Oregon, Virginia & Texas. Looking forward to connecting with you at any of these events and check below for pics from Comic-Con SD 2023.

  

All the workshops below are mixed levels (from beginner to advanced) where I work with each person at their current level... Whether I'm working with high level professionals, coaching privately, on-set, or connecting with those new to acting and voice-acting, my goal is always to meet you where you are at and help you rise to the next level of your talent.  Cheering you all on from the sidelines as you follow your dreams, and sending much love!

~ Karen

Real Voice LA

Intro to British Accents

Wens. October 4th, 2023

6-9pm PST

  (virtual)

INFO BELOW!

 
10/4/23 Workshop

About This Workshop:

 

This is for any actor at any level wanting to learn, up level, or perfect their British accent. Many actors struggle to recreate the sounds of a certain accent or dialect, applying the phonetics they learned or a certain “music," only to feel that it doesn’t sound as authentic as they’d like, or that they don’t have the freedom or confidence in auditions or performances. 

Accents and dialects exist because as little ones, we learn to speak with specific muscle groups the people we grew up around used. So no matter how close you get to making the British sounds with your America muscle groups, you can never really sound authentic until you learn to place the speech in the specific British instrument.  Once you do that, speaking British and sustaining it becomes so much easier than you ever thought it would be. In this workshop Karen will help you learn how to find and use your British instrument, so that you will no longer be "trying to sound" British, but instead, will be using your vocal instrument the same way the Brits do!  This workshop is revelatory for many people who seek to gain more proficiency and freedom with performance in British.

Real Voice LA

Fantasy Video Games

Wens. October 18th, 2023

6-9pm PST

(virtual - hosted on Zoom)

INFO BELOW!

 
10/18/23 Workshop

About This Workshop:

The fantasy video game world is a genre all of its own, and very often actors miss the mark in aiming for this distinctive universe. There are a lot of specifics involved in approaching the fantasy genre that make a world of difference in booking a fantasy role. In this workshop you will address the elusive “mid Atlantic accent“, explore knights, elves, wizards, trolls, dragons, explore pacing, character, the sense of timelessness and otherworldlyness and much more…By the end of this workshop, you will be able to find themselves palpably in this world, delighting the people who play these games as well as the people who cast and direct them!

Online Animation Workshop: Making Voices Come to Life

Wens. October 25th, 2023

6-9pm PST

  (virtual)

INFO BELOW!

 
10/25/23 Workshop

About This Workshop:

As a voice actor, you can sometimes get stuck in a rut of “doing voices,” and wonder why you're not booking. You sometimes forget that your job is to make characters literally come to life for your audience. To create living, breathing characters that move people and to make them feel things, just like an on-camera actor. Even though cartoon and video game characters might seem 2-dimensional, your job is to make them multi-dimensional, infusing that monkey, high elf, talking dump-truck or ogre with a soul and a life all their own. Learn how to reckognize the difference between "doing a voice" and creating a character that comes to life and transports the listener to another world . . . this is the key to booking!
