Australian
Voice
Australian Voice is the official journal of the Australian
National Association of Teachers of Singing (ANATS).
It is published as one volume annually.
The purpose of the publication is to provide a medium for
presentation and dissemination of original articles and research
papers on all topics related to voice.
It seeks to be non-partisan
and international in perspective, while encouraging discussion
and enquiry about a wide range of subjects and methodologies.
Research papers and original articles are invited from
practitioners in all relevant fields on topics related to
voice – voice science, physiology, pedagogy,
therapy and health, performance practice and style, music literature and repertoire.

the following four categories:

peer review process.
Article length may be:
- 1500-3000 words
(short),
- 3000 – 5000 words (medium) or
- more than 5000 words
(long).
The article may contain tables and illustrations
but authors should provide these in the format ready for
reproduction.
