The National Center for Voice and Speech, founded in 1990, is home to top researchers studying human and animal vocal communication and to top clinicians heading voice habilitation programs for vocal arts professionals.

The National Center for Voice and Speech is under the direction of Ingo R. Titze, Ph.D. . It is the only voice research and clinical care facility in the world that is a division of a major performing arts organization.

While it was designed to study the voice and speech production of stage performers to increase their vocal artistry, the NCVS's research now assists people far beyond the stage. Its work includes investigating the natural processes of voice and speech production, addressing the vocal challenges of persons with Parkinson's and other neurological diseases, exploration of vocal standards for use in educational settings, technological advancement in the area of speech synthesis, helping public school teachers with vocal overloads, dissemination of vocal health information, nationally-broadcast public service announcements on vocal health and popular public voice workshops. Our rehabilitation program helps to facilitate recovery of injured voices (both singing and speaking) and promotes optimal voice production for those who want to better their healthy voices.
