Working with Karen has been an extraordinary experience. Initially, I had classical training, much like her, but she went above and beyond in helping me transition my sound from classical to musical theater. Not only was she able to assist in addressing the vocal challenges I had struggled with for years, but she also touched my soul in ways I never imagined. Her unwavering support and belief in my vocal abilities have given me a newfound confidence that is simply incomparable. Additionally, her empathy and understanding often turn our sessions into therapeutic experiences, leaving me feeling uplifted and revitalised. Beyond her exceptional vocal coaching, she has become my biggest cheerleader, continually offering wisdom and encouragement to help me navigate the complexities of the industry. It’s an absolute privilege to have her in my corner, championing my dreams as if they were her own.

Karen Malherbe has been an outstanding singing teacher. At 47, I thought it was too late for me to learn, but Karen changed that. Her clear, effective teaching methods improved my singing and boosted my confidence. She’s patient and adapts to each student’s needs. I highly recommend Karen to anyone wanting to learn, no matter their age

Karen is truly an incredible vocal coach. My voice and confidence grew so much in the last two years of training with her. She finds a way for you to achieve sounds and notes you never believed you could. With Karen I always felt safe to make mistakes which is so important, because that is how you grow. Karen’s warm and nurturing energy makes her vocal classes a truly safe and positive environment to grow your craft.

I met Karen in 2022, only six months after having vocal surgery to remove the nodules on my vocal cords. I thought I would never get my voice and its strength back to where it was before the operation. Karen supported me every step of the way throughout my new vocal journey, where her expertise in vocal warmup and vocal technique took my voice to levels it had never been before. She fine tuned my audio skills, increasing my ability to hear and identify wrong notes as I was singing and improved my overall vocal control by leaps and bounds. By the end of the year, I achieved the highest mark for my vocal assessment in musical theatre. Without Karen’s patience, knowledge and skills, I would not be where I am today vocally and mentally. She truly is the best !

Karen has been the best vocal coach I’ve ever had. When I first started with her, I knew nothing about voice technique. Karen patiently and thoroughly explained everything until I understood. Over the three years of her coaching, my voice underwent a remarkable transformation. Thanks to her guidance and support, I can proudly say that I am now a singer, filled with the confidence she instilled in me.
