Karen Perta

Karen Perta is a troupe member of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*. She first guest starred in the spring of 2017, the twenty-eighth guest, then soon signed on as the vocal coach for the group, conducting workshops and coaching individuals. She served that role until November 2018. In December 2017, she became an official member of the troupe. She left the troupe after the July 2020 show, and has returned twice to guest star since then.

Karen Perta has loved voices and singing since she performed the air conditioner's monologue from the movie *The Brave Little Toaster* in her living room at the age of 3. Since then, she has managed to perform on some actual stages. These days, she is a voice science nerd and speech language pathologist who enjoys looking at vocal cords and the crazy sounds they make. She is also active in the Estill Voice International community and proud Certified Master Teacher.

Her *Meet the Cast* was the twentieth in the series, and released as podcast episode 118.
