We care for the human voice
The AVA began in 1991. It is an umbrella organisation for all involved in the care of the human voice including speech pathologists, singing teachers and voice teachers, ENT surgeons, voice scientists and other professionals and amateur voice users.

To encourage links between artistic, clinical and scientific disciplines related to voice;
-
To promote education and training in the clinical care of voice, as well as vocal performance and voice science;
