I am so happy that we found Karen. My daughter knew she wanted to be an actress at an early age. She had a last minute opportunity to audition for our local middle school that focused on performing arts and while she didn't have time to prepare she took a shot anyway and she did not make it in. She was also told that acting was not for her; this left her emotionally devastated. To keep her motivated I signed her up for an acting workshop with Karen LaVoie and that changed everything.
After the workshop Karen told me that my daughter had a lot of talent and a lot of potential and she would like to work with her. Over the years I saw her confidence in herself and her abilities grow. She has had successes as an actress and is even a member of SAG. She continues to work with Karen as her coach and she feels confident that her future is bright with Karen's fun, unique and professional career guidance and coaching.
We frequently say that everything happens for a reason and as we look back to her failed audition we recognize that it was a turning point for her even though we didn’t recognize it in the moment. “ Sometimes you have to fail in order to succeed!" - Jackie Butts
