At what age do boys start to change their voices?

At what age do boys start to change their voices? This has become a big issue of particular concern to many of us. Many people do not pay great attention to this issue, so if boys do not properly protect their throats during the voice change period, it will cause great problems for their vocal cords, which may have a great impact on our future inflammation. Let's briefly describe at what age do boys start to change their voices.

1. Voice change is an inevitable stage of growth. As people grow older, their voices change from childish to adult voices. Generally, voice change starts at the age of 12-13 and ends at the age of 17-28. Food and environment also have a certain influence, which can easily lead to individual changes in voice.

2. During this period, the human throat begins to develop rapidly forward and backward, up and down, and left and right. In men, the thyroid cartilage will protrude forward to form the Adam's apple, while in women, the protrusion of the larynx is not obvious when it is stretched up and down. This is the biggest difference between men and women after voice change.

3. The voice becomes harder and loses the softness of children. The vocal cords become red, congested, and thickened. Various gaps are formed between the two vocal cords (glottis), especially the posterior third of the glottis, which cannot close and forms a triangular gap, the voice triangle. This situation happens a lot, and the throat is easily damaged at this time, so you must pay attention to protecting it.

4. After the voice change, the male voice will drop by 8 scales, with a significant change; because the female voice drops by three scales, there is not much difference in high and low notes, but the timbre is obviously different from that of children.

5. Teenagers generally enter the voice change period around the age of 14-16. This period is the stage when their larynx and vocal cords grow and develop. Its manifestations include: hoarseness, narrow vocal range, pronunciation fatigue, local congestion and edema, increased secretions, etc.

6. The voice change period generally lasts from half a year to one year. In order to maintain your voice during the voice change period, in addition to paying attention to using your voice scientifically and rationally and not letting it get too tired, it is also very important to pay attention to dietary conditioning.

7. First of all, attention should be paid to the intake of collagen and elastin

The vocal organs are mainly composed of the larynx, Adam's apple and thyroid cartilage, which are composed of collagen and elastin. The vocal cords are also made of a thin membrane of elastic protein. Therefore, adolescents during the voice change period should eat more foods rich in collagen and elastin, such as pig's trotters, pig skin, tendons, fish, beans, seafood, etc.

Second, you should take in B vitamins and calcium

Vitamin B2 and vitamin B6 can promote the development of skin; calcium can promote the development of thyroid cartilage. Foods rich in vitamin B include celery, tomatoes, eggs, beans, animal liver and fresh fruits. Foods rich in calcium mainly include fish, shrimp, milk, and soy products.

At what age does a boy start to change his voice? It should be around 10 years old. During this period of voice change, we must take appropriate care of our throats. We must not speak loudly. We must drink more hot water every day. We can also buy some Jinshengzi lozenges, which can effectively help us get through the voice change stage better.
