Symptoms of voice change

Voice change is a stage that must be experienced, during which the voice will become particularly unpleasant. Keep a good attitude and don't put too much pressure on yourself. This is a normal developmental state. Everyone is the same and goes through this. At this time, the voices of boys and girls will change greatly, and the boys' voices will become deeper. The girl's voice will become high-pitched, pleasant-sounding, and particularly sharp.

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. The earliest voice change occurs at around 9 years old, and the latest voice change occurs after around 15 years old.

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.
