Voice and Speech Trainers Association (VASTA)

VASTA is an international non-profit that brings together a global network of voice and speech professionals across all disciplines and industries—uniting artists, educators, coaches, therapists, and more. Their mission is to cultivate the voice and speech profession and its multidisciplinary impact with passion, respect, and definitive leadership. We believe that building connections across sectors makes our field stronger. Through community- driven programming, mentorship, and cross-industry collaboration, VASTA fosters a space where diverse practices and professionals can come together to share, learn, and lead.
