11th International Congress of Voice Teachers (ICVT) - Presenter Submission Deadline

June 1, 2024

2025 ICVT Toronto Call for Presenters

11th International Congress of Voice Teachers (ICVT)

Toronto, Canada

July 31 - August 3, 2025

The International Congress of Voice Teachers invites scholars, practitioners, and artists to contribute to our vibrant community by submitting Abstracts for Talks, Workshops, Lecture Recitals, and Poster Presentations. This prestigious conference serves as a platform to explore the latest advancements, share insights, and engage in meaningful discussions within the field of voice education, scholarship and research, and artistry.

Applicants may choose between different Presentation Types:

  • Talks
  • Workshops
  • Lecture Recitals
  • Poster Sessions

All submissions will be evaluated by the ICVT Program Committee. A primary criteria for acceptance will be the relevance to the voice profession based on scientific and/or artistic quality as well as the diversity of the topic. The Committee may invite the Abstract Submission participant to consider a different presentation type when deemed appropriate. Whether a theoretical exploration of voice pedagogy (i.e. physiology, acoustics, singing through a life span, a broad spectrum of contemporary music, kinesthetic training, science-informed functional training, vocal exercises for warm-up and cool-down), insights into historical performance practices, psychology of singing, voice science & technology, mind & body awareness, or new directions such as artificial intelligence, we welcome diverse perspectives that contribute to the breadth of voice knowledge. 

Cultural diversity will be a priority for the conference as we focus on ALL Voices Uplifted.

Important Dates and Reminders

Presenter submission deadline: June 1, 2024

Notification of acceptance: August 1, 2024
