About me

My name is Karmen Mai Karus and I'm an Estonian actress.

I can speak English, French, Russian and Estonian.

Fun fact: I graduated Baltic Film, Media and Arts School at Tallinn University's master's program, where I studied the creation of television series and short films, as well as being in front of the camera and the character creation process. I went to study the creation of films and series specifically to feel more confident as an actress on set, to understand how a film is put together and constructed. 

Additionally, over the years, I have taken different acting courses, including voice training at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre.
