Worship Vocalists
Kate has a passion for singers including worship vocalists that goes far beyond just how they sound. She believes that God created each voice to be as unique as each fingerprint. Approaching singers with this perspective allows them to grow and develop in a way that nurtures both their vocal and spiritual well-being, building them up rather than tearing them down.
Our holistic approach to vocal development empowers singers to grow independently while enhancing group performance. We simplify vocal terminology to ensure clear communication and teach essential listening skills for true harmony. Through open dialogue, we help singers identify and share their vocal strengths and weaknesses, fostering mutual growth. For groups using in-ear monitors, we guide singers in creating a balanced mix for better confidence and performance. Vocal health is a priority, and we provide proven techniques for long-term care. Each session is tailored to your group’s needs, from workshops to mini-lessons.

Worship Leader Relections
“Working on my voice with Kate has greatly improved my ability to lead worship by allowing me to focus on true worship, without being distracted by vocal limitations. I’ve gained the ability to sing a wider range of songs in various keys, and one of my biggest breakthroughs was learning to navigate my vocal break and strengthen my mix, which has given me greater flexibility. Kate’s training has also taught me how to practice effectively, so my voice enhances the message rather than becoming a distraction. Specific techniques like recorded warmups, straw phonation, and releasing tongue tension have been invaluable and easy to apply on my own. Her coaching has not only improved my voice but also protected it—when I started with her, I had nodules on both vocal cords, which had me losing range and fearing the worst. Thanks to Kate’s knowledge of vocal health and her encouragement to see an ENT, she helped me rehabilitate my voice from the ground up. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any worship leader or team—her ability to build confidence and reveal your true voice is unmatched!”

“Working with Kate strengthened my voice so I could be a more grounded and solid guide for our congregation. Kate’s discipling heart has also helped me connect my walk with the Lord to my worship leading, and she continually pushes me to make sure those two areas of my life are in harmony- I’d highly recommend working with her!”

“Kate’s vocal training offers a holistic approach, treating the voice as an instrument made up of many parts. This perspective helps vocalists identify specific areas for growth, allowing them to improve their range, tonality, and vocal quality without excessive effort. Her warm-up routines and techniques have been especially beneficial, and having these tools readily available on our phones makes training on the go convenient and effective.
I believe leading worship as a vocalist is one of the most vulnerable roles on a team—there’s no instrument to hide behind, and you're often front and center. Matching external leadership with internal spiritual expression, especially through different seasons of life, can be challenging. A relaxed and confident vocal posture only comes with thorough training and preparation. Kate’s methodology through the Vocal Wellness Academy equips worship leaders and their teams with essential tools to develop vocal confidence. While vocal training can’t replace the spiritual, emotional, and mental preparation needed to serve a congregation, it’s a vital part of supporting those who lead worship. Just as Christ cared for the whole person, including their physical needs, investing in vocal coaching helps build both vocal strength and confidence. I highly recommend this coaching for any worship leader or team looking to grow.”

“Eight years ago, vocal fatigue and tension constantly plagued me as a worship leader. I was always distracted when leading, never knowing when my voice would crack or give out, afraid to sing what I was feeling because I didn’t know if I could pull it off. This was when I began working with Kate. She taught me to sing with strength and stamina so I could express outside what I was experiencing inside. She knows that God made us as whole, integrated people, not just voices on legs, and this permeated all of our lessons. She helped me to see and address tension wherever it cropped up and hindered my voice. She enabled me to be integrated and present, to sing freely and joyfully. This paid dividends for me in leading worship.”

“Kate has helped our team develop and focus on vocal exercises and techniques. Since utilizing her services, our vocalists have become more confident. Whether experienced or not, she helped each one according to their current ability. Her energy and passion is contagious and her understanding of vocal anatomy powerful. I highly recommend her services. ”
