Welcome

From VASTA President Beth McGee

Welcome to the official website of the Voice and Speech Trainers Association (VASTA), a 22-year-old non-profit organization serving the needs of voice and speech professionals all over the world and enriching the profession through numerous activities and initiatives. VASTA is the only organization in the United States dedicated to fostering excellence in the field of voice and speech training. VASTA's current membership includes approximately 500 members from the U.S., Canada, Europe, Britain and Ireland, South Africa, Southeast Asia and Australia; embracing professors, performers, voice, speech, text and dialect coaches, speech/language pathologists, otolaryngologists, coaches in private practice, and acting, movement, singing specialists who are seeking to integrate disciplines, and others interested in the art and science of the human voice.  If you are a member, you know what a great value VASTA is, and how the VASTA community serves you and your profession.  If you’re not a member, check us out!

I invite you to meander about vasta.org and explore all of the information and resources it offers.  Non-members might check out the VASTAvox, our electronic listserv, the Web resources for voice and speech professionals, the VASTA Diversity statement and the VASTA diversity bibliography.  Members have the additional benefits of using the professional index, the VASTA bibliography, the receipt of our quarterly on-line newsletter The VASTA Voice, a copy of VASTA’s biennial publication of the Voice and Speech Review (now in its 7th edition), and the opportunity to learn, play, share, explore, and network at our yearly VASTA conferences.

Until I have the opportunity to meet you personally, I invite you to join us here.

Enjoy,
Beth McGee
VASTA President
