Kate Cubley is an award winning researcher and professional voice and breath coach based in the UK. Her primary clientele include singers and voice artists. Since 2011, Kate has been training singers and vocalists using a variety of tried and tested methods to obtain the best results. Her belief is that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. This demands her a natural curiosity that led her to seek training  in several different, yet complementary, teaching models and coaching strategies. In her work as a Senior Lecturer, a private vocal coach, choral conductor and singing teacher, Kate has tutored 1000’s students including professional and developing singers, Corporate Business Leaders, Voice Teachers, Postgraduate Researchers, SLT and SLP’s, ENT Surgeons and Manual Therapists.

During the past 8 years, Kate’s academic research has chiefly focused on vocal health, wellness, anatomy, alignment and function. Her continued intention is to achieve confident and sustainable vocal performance skills for vocalists.

As well as academic grounding, Kate also has personal awareness relating to the obstacles to performing, having suffered from lifelong anxiety which heightened on stage, halting her solo career in the 00’s. This subsequently caused her lucky segue into teaching. Later in 2011, Kate was diagnosed with Oral Allergy Syndrome and suffered severe allergy symptoms causing total voice loss through inflammation and anxiety-related Muscle Tension Dysphonia impacting her ability to present, teach and perform. Since then, Kate has spent over a decade working towards a sustainable solution to marry functional voice and breath practices with awareness and habilitation for the singing classroom. Her work on airborne allergies and voice health has developed into a PhD which she studies part time with De Montfort University.

She has also found the confidence to return to stage as a singer.
