PAVA Recognized Vocologist (RV)
PAVA is a multidisciplinary, member-driven organization comprised of voice professionals from numerous voice-related disciplines including Acting and Speaking Voice Habilitation, Choral Conducting, Laryngology, Manual Therapy and Bodywork, Music Education, Performance, Singing Voice Habilitation, Speech-Language Pathology, Vocal Coaching and Music Directing, Voice Science, and Vocology Research. PAVA serves to bridge these disciplines toward the common goal of understanding all aspects of vocalization.
PAVA-RV distinction was first envisioned in 2016, with the goal of recognizing our members who demonstrate knowledge and expertise across the many fields of voice and vocology. Through the hard work of numerous dedicated PAVA members and voice experts from across all disciplines, the PAVA-RV was launched in 2022. The PAVA-RV Committee oversees all administrative aspects of this important endeavor.
