Greetings! Thank you for joining us and welcome to our website!

On behalf of the members and organizational leaders of the Voice and Speech Trainers Association (VASTA), we are so glad you’re here.

When I first joined this organization back in 2011, I knew right away that I had found my loving community. It is far too common for us to feel alone in our work; the only voice and speech expert working on a production, the only voice and speech faculty member, the only specialist in our region of that one thing we do really well. Through VASTA, I hope you find your loving community where you’re never alone. 
 
VASTA is a non-profit, volunteer-driven association whose mission is to cultivate the voice and speech profession and its multidisciplinary impact with passion, respect, and definitive leadership. We aspire to be an international community that advocates for and serves voice and speech professionals across industries, areas, and sectors of the field.

We welcome the entire community of voice and speech professionals, where every member has the opportunity to contribute to community, connection, collaboration, access, repair, and sustainability. Whether you’re here to network, present your research, attend a conference, connect with an interest group, or seek grant funding, we are here to help you promote the art and science of the human voice.

In our 39th year, our desire to support the collective knowledge of voice and speech through inclusivity and belonging remains steadfast. With over 700 members representing 31 different countries, we deeply value the range of cultures, methodologies, and perspectives our members bring to our respective fields. We are so excited for you to teach us something new.

Thank you for visiting our website. We can’t wait to connect with you.
