What is the age range for voice change?

The bodies of boys and girls going through puberty will undergo some changes to varying degrees, and these changes are called development. Both boys and girls who are in the developmental stage will experience a voice change period. At this time, they should especially protect their voices and not shout or sing too hard. This requires very high voice. Some people's voices will become particularly beautiful after going through the voice change period, but some people's voices will become not so beautiful because they do not protect their voices well.

Because of the growth of the larynx and vocal cords, the voice becomes hoarse, the vocal range becomes narrow, pronunciation fatigue, local congestion and edema, and increased secretions occur, resulting in the voice of speaking and singing being different from that in childhood and lasting for a period of six months to a year.

The voice change period can be divided into the early voice change period, the voice change period and the late voice change period.

Vocal cords during voice change

Changes in the vocal cords are an important manifestation of the voice change period. During puberty, girls' throats become narrower, their vocal cords are shorter, thinner, and vibrate at a higher frequency, so their pitch is higher and finer; boys' throats become larger, their vocal cords are wider and thicker, so their pitch is lower and rougher.

It affected the growing vocal cords. The vocal cords are extremely delicate at this time. If the owner does not pay attention, they will become congested, edematous, or develop vocal nodules or vocal polyps.

A Usage: Use your voice correctly. Do not overuse it by shouting loudly or making loud noises without restraint. Pay special attention not to sing karaoke excessively. Excessive use of the voice during adolescence may lead to lifelong hoarseness.
