Medical Video: How to make your voice DEEPER | 4 Steps
As you grow older, your voice will change. Especially for boys, their voices will become heavier or bass. Maybe you notice what the changes are to your sister, cousin, or your own baby. Well, actually, at what age is the sound of boys going to change?
When will the voice of a boy change?
You already know that sound changes are one of the signs of puberty in boys. However, not all children will be puberty at the same age. Some are faster, some are slower, which is around the age of 10 to 15 years.
Even so, the changes will not occur immediately. At first, the sounds of ABG boys will sound "broken" or sound hoarse shrill before it finally sounds heavier, deeper, andbass. It is this heavy sound that will last into his voice until he grows up.
ABG boys will generally begin to experience changes in sound when they reach 12-13 years of age, that is, during junior high school. Some children may realize this change, some don't.
Why does puberty affect the voice of boys?
When you talk, air enters the mouth through the throat and makes the larynx (vocal cords) vibrate and the surrounding muscles contract.
The vocal cords work like a stretched rubber band and are picked like a guitar string. When the rubber vibrates there will be a sound that is heard. Apart from the larynx, the formation of sound is also influenced by how you move the mouth and tongue.
Well, puberty that occurs in boys changes the size of the larynx. That is why the sound that will be produced will also change. When still small, the larynx is small. However, when a child grows up to be a teenager, the size of the larynx will certainly be bigger. The enlarged size of the larynx can be characterized by the Adam's apple in the neck that is increasingly visible.
Larynx in boys at puberty not only increases, but also thickens. In addition, facial bones will also begin to be seen, followed by enlargement of the size of the sinuses, nose and throat, making the voices of male adolescents sound lower and heavier.
Actually the size of the larynx in girls also changes, from 2 mm (millimeters) to 10 mm. However, changes in the size of the larynx of boys are much greater. These differences make changes in the voice of boys more clear than girls.
Voice changes are also influenced by hormones
Puberty signifies the maturity of a child's sexual organ. This means that the child's reproductive system is active because there is an increase in the number of sex hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone.
Apparently, increasing the amount of testosterone is what makes the size of the larynx of boys become bigger.
Do parents need to worry about this change?
Sounds that become heavier and hoarse may make children uncomfortable to talk. In fact, it can cause stress to children. But don't worry.
Changes in the voice of boys at puberty enter the stage of normal child growth. You need to give understanding to the child about the effects of puberty on his changes. Tell the child if the unpleasant change of voice only happens temporarily, around a few months.
Also explain about puberty completely, which is to explain other body changes, such as growing mustache or pubic hair, the chest becomes more fields, pimples appear, and the sex organs will also enlarge.
