The Voice and Aging

Can't Wait to Hear You

Aug 16 2024 • 22 mins

A number of things affect the voice as we age – our hormones, our physical fitness, our attitudes about aging – just to name a few. I’ve worked with many students experiencing age-related changes to their voices and I’ve experienced plenty myself. In this episode, I talk about some of the changes you can expect throughout your lifespan along with strategies for navigating them.

Michèle Voillequé is a singer and a voice teacher living in Berkeley, California.
