I’m Karen.

I teach acting, public speaking, and the courage to go after the things you want!

My Approach:

I believe we are at our best when we connect with others in a genuine way. Whether you are an actor, an entrepreneur or work in a corporate environment, I will help you feel at ease with performing/speaking in front of others. If you are an actor who needs help with an audition or general career advice, I got you!

Take your acting to a deeper level with me, or gain the confidence to speak publicly, with scene work and exercises and even VO training to understand how powerful and influential our voice can be. I love seeing people’s confidence and abilities grow, and we have a lot of fun getting there!

About Me:

I have been a professional actress and host for over 25 years in Film and TV, including hundreds of voice overs in radio and multimedia campaigns, as well as audiobooks and corporate training videos. I created, produced and hosted my own national cooking show in French and created and hosted a TV show on immigrant entrepreneurs.

I have been coaching actors and clients who want to be more comfortable in front of the camera for 5 years. I teach in person at the Screen Acting Academy in Ottawa, Canada, internationally online at Skills Hub For Actors, and virtual sessions. While I was raising my daughter, I pursued my passion of marketing and advertising, so I have this extra perspective when coaching as well - especially when it comes to voice over and working with brands. I love people and it is such a pleasure to work with clients from all walks of life, and to help them believe in themselves.

Karen is a tremendous leader. as a teacher, she inspires and entertains while creating accountability and true progress in her students. As a presenter and speaker, she is captivating, delightful and beautifully relatable. We are thrilled to have her at SkillsHub.Life and I cannot recommend her enough-she is wonderful!
