    The human voice is capable of incredible variety and range. As we age, our bodies undergo two major changes which explore that range. So how exactly does our voice box work, and what causes these shifts in speech? Shaylin A. Schundler describes how and why our voices change when we get older.
    Lesson by Shaylin A. Schundler, directed by Andrew Foerster & Nick Counter.

      According to BBC: "It’s because when you speak you hear your own voice in two different ways. The first is through vibrating sound waves hitting your ear drum, the way other people hear your voice. The second way is through vibrations inside your skull set off by your vocal chords. Those vibrations travel up through your bony skull and again set the ear drum vibrating. However as they travel through the bone they spread out and lower in pitch, giving you a false sense of bass. Then when you hear a recording of your voice, it sounds distinctly higher." Sorry for the long answer lol

    • @jenniferjean85
      @jenniferjean85 6 ปีที่แล้ว +409

      This helps explain why you think your voice sounds exactly like the singer your singing along with on the radio, but others don't agree. You hear that you are matching the pitch perfectly. But to hear how you really sound when you sing, you need to record yourself and listen to it. All professional singers do that to make sure they are singing properly.

    I believe after castration was outlawed, they simply switched to getting new singers. Once your voice cracked, you couldn't be a part of the choir anymore and someone younger had to take your place.

    • @perforongo9078

      Singers are a little different, in that they put an extreme amount of use into their voice boxes. Many of them develop vocal nodules, that they need surgery to correct- and their voices never sound exactly the same again.
      Also, smoking can seriously change the pitch and timbre of your voice.

    While the reasons for vocal changes during puberty and when you're old are rather well-known, I'd like to know why and how the voice changes between ages ~25 to ~55. It especially (but not exclusively) shows in singing voices of opera singers that tend to get darker over this peroide of time.

    3:05 is not true. The vocal folds aren't homogeneous before puberty only to differentiate during puberty. If it were true, we'd be unable to phonate using different laryngeal vibratory mechanisms before puberty. Children's voices would be restricted to mechanism 1.
    4:14 I liked how you alluded to the role of the vestibular folds in the development of breathier, wheezier voices! :)

      Nekilof - I think the evolutionary reason is that deeper voices give people the image of a larger body size, which was desirable in males because they could hunt better and stuff. Though I’m sure there’s more to it than that but that’s all I know.

    I remember when I was younger I could hit all the notes an alto can sing without effort. Now I am a low bass that can pump out every note a tenor can sing by using my falsetto
    (for reference, in normal circumstances in the middle of the day I can go from low D2 all the way up to A5, where voice.exe decides to stop working. I have to switch to falsetto when singing everything higher that F4, everything under that is comfortable. In the morning or evening, I can reach a C2, and in rare instances even a Bb1. I'm also working on my octavist range, and I have managed to somehow hold an A0, that is the lowest key on a standard piano for anyone wondering)

    The answer why you don’t hear your actual voice is because in your mind you have a different idea of what your voice sounds like and when you talk you also talk in your mind so yeah that’s why you don’t hear your actual voice when you talk. Also please like I did research on this.
