An update on our VMA Connect program for 2026!

We are still busy confirming our guest speaker webinars for this year (& have some rippers in store for you all) but thought we'd kick off our fireside chats this Thursday with a focus on singers! Meg and Deb will 'chew the fat' about our roles and learnings as Speechies working with Singers.

We will talk about The THRILLS of TRILLS and other specifics but also keen to open it up to others and talk about what to do in assessment and therapy when not a singer yourself.
Thursday 12th March
7.00pm AEDT

FREE for all Members! So do RSVP the usual way to get the link.

By the way, our Brisbane workshop was truly fab and we absolutely loved spending time with all fabulous 33 splaryngology delegates at the lovely Powerhouse Museum venue. (Some pics attached below).
Happy IWD from all of us VMA women to you all.

Our fearless and tireless leader, Debbie has been in Malta this week for the 33rd IALP conference in her role as Chair of the Voice Committee.

But wait, that’s not even the exciting bit - Deb was awarded the title of Honoured Member of the IALP – a recognition of her decades of contribution, leadership and passion for voice around the world.

Such a huge honour and we could not be any prouder.

Still buzzing after an inspiring online PD with THE Dr Christine Sapienza – all the way from the USA. Still fangirling over this voice, swallow, and upper airway royalty.

Our VMA Connect Speechies were treated to a deep dive into EMST and IMST – from muscle physiology to research-led protocols, and all the juicy clinical questions like “who should (and shouldn’t) be using them?”

Deb wasted no time putting her new knowledge to work today… although judging by this photo, she may have generated so much expiratory pressure that something grew out of her ears. We’ll get back to you once we’ve ruled out spontaneous laryngeal sprouting

What. A. Weekend. The conference absolutely soared — a huge celebration of passion, skill, and the unstoppable drive of our singing teaching community.

From inspiring presenters to powerhouse workshops, every moment reminded us how special this community is.(Also… can we talk about the conference dinner? Pretty sure Australia’s best performers and next-level dance moves were all in that room)

We’re bursting with pride to celebrate our very own Nadine — not just a brilliant Speech Pathologist and VMA team member. but also the president of Her dedication, leadership and spark lit up the entire weekend.

Massive congrats to everyone involved. Singing teachers and voice nerds, you’ve outdone yourselves.

We’re feeling all the voice love at the Conference this weekend — and look who we bumped into… Connie! The absolute queen of singing teachers.

Connie has been championing healthy voice use since before it was cool — one of the earliest adopters of working alongside voice care teams to support singers across the lifespan. And yes… she also happened to be Meg’s childhood singing teacher Full circle moment!

So grateful for teachers like Connie and the many amazing practitioners around us this weekend who laid the foundation for evidence-based, collaborative care for performers. Here’s to strong, supported voices — on stage and off!
