What is Vocal Intimacy Coaching?

Vocal Intimacy coaching is Kendra Kae's highly developed and unique vocal coaching technique that utilizes sound vocal technique, embodiment practices, psychology, Breathwork, energy work, as well as creativity and play to embrace vocal potential.

After struggling with vocal performance after leaving opera in 2022, she went on a deeper journey to learn about what makes the voice tick, how to embody the voice differently, and creating a better relationship with her own voice.

At the beginning of 2024, she could not sing a note, barely able to make healthy phonation speaking. By the end of the year, she had used her own techniques to bring her voice into a whole new way of expressing. Thus, vocal intimacy was born.

Brigitte Djie, Tony Robins renowned coach and speech therapist as well as sex & relationship coach Camilla Peterson speak about their vocal intimacy experiences.

My session with Kendra was absolutely extraordinary.

Even though I had an idea of what I wished to work on in the session, Kendra felt into something even more powerful for me and called me forward to try it. And honestly? It was so challenging. More challenging than I expected. Not because it was technically challenging, but because it required me to go to a place within that was so raw and vulnerable and tender - that needed to be felt and called me to step into some of the most courageous parts of myself that I’d been avoiding.

I was blown away by how tuned in Kendra was with my energy and how effortlessly she called in a new way of using my voice and a potent mantra to support me in alchemizing this new way of being into my daily practice. Absolutely gorgeous session - so grateful for this gorgeous woman and the light she brings to the world with her gifts.

Testimonials...

Kendra has taken my voice to whole new levels, providing a safe space to unearth limiting beliefs and childhood trauma around being told I can't sing. With her I understood what it means to allow sound to vibrate in my entire body, experiencing the whole range of my powerful voice. I love her deeply!

Amia, Healer

Singing with Kendra was my first 1:1 vocal coaching experience. My motivation was to learn how to consciously use my voice as well as to overcome the fear of singing in front of others and I couldn’t have wished for a better teacher to help me with that. Kendra creates a very safe space to explore and discover my voice. She pushes me out of my comfort zone while also intuitively sensing what would be too overwhelming. She is giving me the feeling that no sound is wrong or awkward which helps a lot with letting go of the fear of doing it wrong. I’m finally enjoying singing in a playful and explorative way as well as learning a lot about the mechanisms of my voice. Thanks for being such an amazing, knowledgeable, intuitive, and empathetic teacher.

In just one session I could see how gifted, knowledgeable, and connected Kendra is. Sometimes it is difficult for me to get open and expressive, but Kendra made me feel safe. She guided me through a series of vocal exercises that were fun, and playful, and truly connected me to my voice. In certain moments, this allowed me to laugh and stop taking myself so seriously. Kendra’s knowledge of voice and vocal physicality is profound and gave me so much awareness of how my body works to create sound. She helped me tune into my body and movement to better release sound through my voice. Something in that release not only made me feel connected but also made me feel a sense of freedom. I created sounds that I didn’t realise I was capable of making. At times, I even felt connected to my inner child, who has always loved to sing and express. Kendra’s exercises gave me structure while also opening space for creativity. I can’t say enough about my experience with Kendra. It’s almost difficult to express because it touches such depth of my spirit that it's hard to put into words. Within my session, I felt vulnerable enough to express deep emotion that I didn’t realise was there. It felt magical. Not only is Kendra’s knowledge deeply embedded in technique and foundation, but her insight, intuition, guidance, and ability to see you in the moment allow you to go further into a place of vulnerability and connect to your innermost voice. Kendra not only helps you find your voice but also helps you to be in full expression of it. Working with Kendra is invaluable to professional and nonprofessional singers alike. I’d go so far as to say, it is invaluable to everyone. It has opened up my whole universe.

Titania Martinez, Public Educator

I’m not a singer or a professional in any way. However, my job does require me to be able to give presentations, so it is crucial that my voice is working and that it doesn’t break during the presentations or sound too nervous. For a long time, I’ve had a strained relationship with my voice, always feeling tense and hoarse and like I have a lump in my throat that won’t go away. I was laughed at in school for singing and being shushed so many times and it made me very self-conscious of my voice, my tone of voice and the volume of it. Kendra took it really slow with me, starting with some nice practical exercises to ground me. She took me on this journey where she used a mix of tools to slowly unlock the potential of my voice and made it sound so beautiful that I could actually feel it. Her trust in me made me try and sing repeatedly in front of her, which is normally something I wouldn’t do unless I could sing along to a song on the radio – alone, all by myself with no one to hear. We ended up working on healing my inner child and ended off with such a fun creative task that I still giggle every time I think of a coffee pot. Throughout the entirety of the session, Kendra made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. No words can describe the feeling of working with her. I initially thought that this was “just another singing class”, but this is so much more than that. Not only was she helping me practically to unlock the capacity of my voice, but also the mental blocks that were holding me back, making me play small. While non-professional singers like me can benefit from this, I am certain that professional singers can reach a whole other level of unlocking their voices too. I went into the session, not really knowing what was going to happen and I left with the most joyful and peaceful feeling. I am truly grateful for this experience.

As the session progressed I became more relaxed and more creative and less stilted in the use of my voice. Kendra noted that I did not say Um or Err (my big issue!) once as I got into the exercises and into my stride with the physicality Kendra was leading me through. I was surprised how fast I could transition to that mode of speaking. I was also able to tap into an inner poet that I had not recognised - and the playfulness Kendra encouraged really helped - poetic imagery was how Kendra described it! I had no idea of the potentiality that I was able to unlock with Kendra's guidance, valuable for those with a traditional singing voice - I just had not thought before how to embody it for my speaking! And I did. Do this training and sessions with Kendra for yourself if you are a speaker or a singer! For those who may have thought of how Kendra could help with your speaking voice, I really recommend her to you.

Kendra Kae is astonishing in her craft, beautiful in spiritual expression and her passion shows through her sessions. Her Vocal Intimacy sessions are a joy, with Eastern and Western teachings, bringing accelerating leaps for any vocalist, singer, or speaker. Highly recommend!

Nate O'Bash, performing artist

Working with Kendra was amazing. I went in to the session with zero knowledge of what vocal intimacy coaching was. However, I did know that I wanted to tap into my untapped potential when it came to my singing voice. Little did I know, I would be tapping into much deeper terrain. In my session with Kendra, I was able to come to the conclusion that I truly do not know my own voice.
I was also struck with the idea that I still holds a lack mindset when it comes to my voice as a whole. Through such strategies as creative, play, and technique training, Kendra and I were able to really delve into the physical shadow work that needed to be addressed when it came to my voice I am so excited to continue working with her and getting to know my voice even more.

Wilma Gomez, Public Educator

I wasn’t sure what to expect from my vocal intimacy coaching session, but I am so glad I took the leap. From the moment I connected with Kendra, I felt a sense of ease and openness. Kendra’s approach was both gentle and empowering, guiding me through the process with care and attention. During the session, she helped me realize something I hadn’t even considered before: my voice is deeply connected to the way I hold back in life, particularly when it comes to feeling free and fully expressing myself.

Kendra's insights were transformative. As we explored how my voice interacts with my body, I began to understand how my physical tension and hesitation were influencing the way I speak and communicate. The more we dove into the connection between my voice and body, the more I could feel blocks lifting and space opening up. She helped me identify the subtle ways I was holding myself back, and with her guidance, I was able to start releasing that tension.

I was amazed at how much I could learn in just one session, and how quickly I could start applying these insights to feel more grounded, confident, and free in both my voice and my presence. Kendra gave me practical tools to continue strengthening this connection in my daily life, and I left the session feeling lighter, more alive, and empowered to express myself more fully.

If you’ve ever felt like something was holding you back from being truly expressive or free, I highly recommend this work with Kendra. It’s been a powerful step in my journey, and I’m already noticing the difference in how I speak, feel, and show up in the world.
