My Voice Experience

Karen first discovered the power of the human voice to connect with an audience when she was a classical music announcer on a public radio station. Over two years, Karen built a loyal audience and raised $4,000 in a two-hour show during the station’s first ever fundraising effort. Without meaning to, Karen discovered a link between a warm, professional, voice message and—money!

Her background in copywriting gives Karen an edge in the ability to use voice persuasion in order to move leads along, convert sales, and increase profits.

In the last year, Karen's primary focus has been messaging on-hold, and Internet-based multimedia presentations.
