So … why the SVARA project?

Mindy Pack and Dr. Reena Gupta are known for producing the most innovative, diverse, interactive vocal educational events. They have developed some of the most highly-attended and well-reviewed conferences globally. Their aim has been to elevate people’s understanding of voice, raising the collective knowledge base. When we have a higher level of understanding, our patients, clients, and students benefit.

Their annual educational events have included:

• Vocal health & rehabilitation
• Surgery of the voice
• Voice pedagogy
• Techniques for singers, actors, voiceover artists, speakers, and other vocal professionals
• Performance strategies & interactive workshops
• Career advisement from casting and talent agents
• Networking opportunities
• Demonstration or display of new products for voice

Education is the path to mastery – their events reflect this. From artist-centered workshops to 3-day teacher training courses, they have produced the best vocal educational experiences worldwide. But the team recognized they had a unique opportunity to develop a deeper purpose through their network of engaged, passionate, voice-focused, artistic professionals.

This became the Svara Project, an organization that will:

• Implement educational initiatives
• Advocate for voice and artists
• Engage in charitable endeavors to help vocal arts thrive
• Stand for mental health and artist safety
• Connect the world of voice professionals
