Symptoms of voice change in boys

We know that every boy will have a voice change period. During the voice change period, we must pay great attention to it and pay full attention to various different matters in order to better get through the voice change period.

Let us learn about the symptoms of the voice change period in boys.

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

2. During this period, the human larynx begins to develop rapidly, front and back, up and down, and left and right. The male thyroid cartilage will protrude forward to form the Adam's apple, while the female's up and down stretching of the larynx is not obvious. This is the biggest difference between male and female voice change.

3. The voice becomes hard, losing the softness of a child. The vocal cords become red, congested, and thickened. Various gaps form between the two vocal cords (glottis), especially the back third of the glottis, which cannot close and forms a triangular gap, the voice triangle. This situation is very common, and the throat is easily damaged during this period, so you must pay attention to protecting it.

4. After the voice change, the male voice will drop by 8 scales, which is a significant change; the female voice will drop by three scales, so the difference in high and low notes is not much, 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 of growth and development of their larynx and vocal cords. Its manifestations include: hoarseness, narrow range, voice fatigue, local congestion and edema, increased secretions, etc.

6. The voice change period is generally six months 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 diet conditioning.

7. First, pay attention to the intake of collagen and elastin

The vocal organs are mainly composed of the larynx, Adam's apple and thyroid cartilage, which are made of collagen and elastic protein. The vocal cords are also made of elastic protein membranes. Therefore, adolescents in the voice change period should eat more foods rich in collagen and elastic protein, such as pig's trotters, pig's 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 B2 include celery, tomatoes, eggs, beans, animal liver and fresh fruits. Foods rich in calcium include fish, shrimp, milk, soy products and so on.
