The Voices Method:

Your Path to Embodiment

Unlocking, processing, and releasing deep-seated trauma through the power of sound and the human voice.

‘Your Voice in Your Body is Your Voice in The World.’

— Christiane Karam

Hi, I’m Christiane. I’ve traveled many worlds, and I’m here today to help you find, claim, and express the fullness of all that you are. If you’ve struggled to feel whole, if you know there is more freedom and abundance available to you than the ghosts of your past are telling you there are, if you believe the fear in your voice is showing you the way to its release, then this path is for you.

“Christiane has an exceptional ability to blend voice and communication practices with psychological and emotional insight. Through her skilled guidance, she facilitates the exploration and release of deep unconscious processes, enabling one's voice and communication skills to flourish truly. Through wisdom combined with a loving and safe energy, Christiane skilfully reflects perspectives that lead to personal growth and transformation. I admire her commitment to always lead with the heart, bravely face fears, and inspire others to do the same”. 

–Ekaterina Sartori, Entrepreneur

“She reminds us that everything is possible, and I love her for that.”

- Shipla Ananth, Vocalist/Composer

I’ve also appeared in the 2009 PBS documentary film "The Music Instinct: Science and Song", featuring Bobby McFerrin, Daniel Levitin, Oliver Sacks, Daniel Barenboim, and Yo-Yo Ma. I’ve also won and been nominated for several awards for my songs and albums, and as a film composer.

Here’s a little bit about my last two projects:  'Eastern Tapestries', released in 2013,  celebrates the different vocal traditions of the Middle East, the Balkans, and Central Asia, and ranges from traditional renditions to in-the-moment contemporary improvisations.

My most recent release (2022) by the Christiane Karam Quintet strives to explore human connection and the journey of healing darkness and separation while celebrating the exuberance and depth of the vast array of musical traditions I come from. ​

More about me:

Having grown up in violent conflict and having genocide in my DNA (my mother’s family is a survivor of the Armenian genocide), I am a staunch activist for cultural understanding, tolerance, and non-violent conflict resolution.

I was humbled to be honored by Berklee in 2001 for my “outstanding contribution to international goodwill and understanding” for a multi-national peace concert I produced in the aftermath of 9/11 and I have since founded the Berklee Annual Middle Eastern Festival, now in its 17th year - which strives to create a platform of cultural exchange and understanding between artists in the Middle East, Balkan, Caucasus and Mediterranean, and students and audiences from all around the world, and the Pletenitsa Balkan Choir,  comprised of singers from around the globe and which highlights the stirring vocal traditions of the Balkans and the neighboring regions.

Currently on the faculty of Berklee College of Music, as a Professor in Voice, Ensemble, and Songwriting, I actively continue the work of bringing awareness and Positive Social Change through music and the arts. I also perform, teach, and coach around the world.

I’m also a published author, and as a holistic practitioner, I’m dedicated to promoting wellness and balance through various mind-body practices.

My method and workshop, ‘Voices: Your Path To Embodiment,’ has taken me around the world, and I’m excited to introduce more offerings and iterations of it in the coming year. Stay tuned!
