    The PAS conference is intended for voice professionals who are interested in the synergistic relationships between physiological and acoustical science, pedagogy, voice habilitation and vocal performance.  Since the inception of the conference in 2002, leading voice researchers and pedagogues from around the globe have gathered to share their work.  The outcomes of the conference yield several benefits: areas of singing in need of further examination are often codified, collaborative relationships between scientists and practitioners are established, and objective vocal pedagogy is promoted.
