The Intelligent Vocalist

Episode 431 - Seven Ways Aging Affects the Voice


Listen Later

In this episode, John shares his personal experience with age-related vocal challenges and outlines seven ways the voice changes over time. He explains how muscle loss, hormonal shifts, and neurological slowdowns can impact vocal performance, and what you can do to maintain vocal health and power. This episode is full of practical strategies for keeping your voice healthy, responsive, and ready to meet new challenges.

 

Episode highlights:

  • Regular, focused practice can counteract many changes you may encounter in your voice.
  • Tools like SOVT exercises, breath resistance devices, and tongue/soft palate workouts can help rebuild and maintain vocal function.
  • Acceptance is key: you may not sound like you did at 25, but you can still find beauty, strength, and joy in your evolving voice.
