Boys often suffer from puberphonia during puberty as a result of which the voice may sound feminine. Peer pressure due to this often makes a physiological condition worrisome.With maturity voice deepens .Can consult a voice therapist to help vocalize better. Most important is to build up your selfconfidence so that this temporary condition doesnot worry you unnecessarily!

During puberty in males the mass and length of the vocal fold increase due to the hormone testosterone and the pitch decreases. Few of the people although having the appropriate vocal fold mass and length after the puberty, but they are not able to switch to the new low pitch voice (male like).Mostly its reason can be usually long time habits from childhood, speaking into a high pitch voice. In this case only thin edges of vocal cords vibrates and also the whole length of the vocal cord does not vibrate. Puberphonia can be very easily treated by voice therapy (vocal exercises) given by speech language pathologist/speech therapist. Duration mostly can be 1-2 week sometime more and that also needs expertise in voice therapy of the therapist. For details please click on: www.speechtherapyindia.in
