At what age do girls' voices change?

It is often used to describe some girls as having melodious voices, just like the beautiful singing voice of a lark. Indeed, a pleasant voice is similar to a good-looking face, which can make people feel happy and make them want to continue communicating involuntarily. This has certain benefits for interpersonal communication and can leave people with a good impression and a deep impression. However, girls will also go through a voice change period and experience some changes. So at what age does the voice change period occur for girls? What are the characteristics?

The voice change period refers specifically to adolescents aged 14 to 16 years old. Because of the growth of the larynx and vocal cords, hoarseness, narrow vocal range, pronunciation fatigue, local congestion and edema, and increased secretions, the voice when speaking and singing is different from that in childhood. This period lasts for half a year to a year.

Vocal cords during voice change: Changes in the vocal cords are an important manifestation of voice change. 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.

Vocal cord disease: Because adolescent children like to speak and sing loudly, they like to show off their loud voices anytime and anywhere. Little do we know that if we are not careful, it will harm the growing vocal cords. The vocal cords are extremely delicate at this time. If you don't pay attention, they will become congested, edematous, or develop vocal nodules or vocal polyps. In mild cases, it will lead to tired and weak pronunciation and change in tone; in severe cases, hoarseness and even difficulty breathing and inability to speak will occur.

Vocal cord maintenance during voice change period:

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

B. Keep warm: avoid catching cold. Pay special attention to keeping warm in winter, try not to wear low-necked clothes, and keep your neck warm to prevent your mouth and throat from getting cold. Catching a cold or chill will aggravate the swelling and congestion of the vocal cords. In addition to paying attention to adding or removing clothes and bedding as the weather changes, participating in some sports activities in moderation and doing physical exercise every day to strengthen your physical fitness is also beneficial to the healthy growth and development of your vocal cords.

C Exercise: Combine work and rest, lead a regular life, and ensure adequate sleep. Don't stay up late and ensure more than 9 hours of sleep every day.

Protect your voice during voice change

Healthy diet to protect vocal cords, principles:

1. Do not eat or eat less irritating food, try not to eat sour, spicy, bitter food such as garlic, pepper, ginger, leek, etc., because these foods will irritate the trachea, larynx and vocal cords;

Fourth, both staple food and side dishes should be soft and delicate food;

5. Do not eat fried peanuts, popcorn, rice crust, nuts and fried hard and dry foods to avoid mechanical damage to the throat.

Recommended Set Meal

(1) 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.

(2) 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 B vitamins include celery, tomatoes,
