Karen Jacobsen has a voice that billions of people have listened to – on their iPhones, GPS’s, narrating books, in ads and on your GPS. She is the Australian voice of Siri and she’s also a total inspiration.
Growing up in Australia, Karen learned about voiceover work while at uni and loved it. She started to provide her voice, in between uni classes, for a number of ads and jingles in both Sydney and Brisbane but she had always wanted to go to New York and so at the earliest opportunity she headed there to settle down.
Arriving in Manhatten with very few connections, nothing was going to hold Karen back, so she hunted around all the main studios doing auditions until, at last, her career started to take off.
Karen is a sought after keynote speaker these days, as well as being a consultant and coach to leaders of industries. Currently holed up in the Whitsundays to ride out the lockdown (it’s tough but she had to stay somewhere!), Karen’s story is funny and inspiring. You’re going to love her!
