Mutation of voice in girls

If the vocal teachers and parents take the problem of mutation of the voice in adolescent boys quite seriously, then things are different with girls. However, this approach is not at all correct, since the mutation of the voice in girls is no less serious.

What is the mechanism for breaking the voice of girls?

Mutation period, as a rule, in girls is much shorter than in boys. In addition, signs of voice mutations are not very pronounced. This is due to the fact that an increase in the larynx in women occurs gradually.

Scientists have shown that the development of the larynx in women occurs up to 30 years. There are several turning points in development, in which one should pay close attention to the hygiene and protection of the singing and speaking voices. Such crises are attributed to 12-15 years and 23-25 ​​years, depending on the individual characteristics of the organism.

The process of voice mutation in girls proceeds fairly quickly (2-6 weeks) and in a mild form. Sometimes restructuring is not noticeable not only to others, but also to the growing ones. However, this does not mean that nothing happens.

In the process of primary restructuring, the larynx of girls is doubled, which is much smaller than that of boys (by three-quarters of the original size).

In girls, cricoid, scapular and thyroid cartilages grow intensively. The uneven growth of individual parts and organs as a whole leads to some temporary changes, which stabilize with time. In addition, there is a change in the structure of individual parts of the vocal apparatus. For example, in girls, growth of the tongue and ossification of cartilaginous tissues are observed.

The voice is lowered by several tones, usually a third or a quart. In this case, the range of vocal voice becomes smaller. The tone gets the color: thickens, becomes deep and "fleshy." In some cases, the voice may gain alto color, which will disappear over time.

Features breaking the voice of girls

The female organism throughout life obeys special laws. The functions of all organs depend on the menstrual cycle, and the vocal apparatus is no exception. Voice mutation occurs during puberty and is closely associated with the appearance of menstruation in girls.

During the period of bleeding, a hormonal surge occurs, which changes the processes taking place in the body. You ask: "And then the voice and vocal lessons?" The answer is simple. All body systems are interconnected. During the period of menstruation, the body is weakened, there is a qualitative change in the composition of the blood and others. During menstruation, there is redness, inflammation of the larynx, which in the synthesis with a mutation can lead to disastrous consequences, even to the loss of voice.

What should be remembered during the mutation of the voice in girls?

The growth period of the body is the most important and difficult. Therefore, you should follow several rules:

1. No overvoltage. This may concern both a singing voice and a conversational one. Any overload can cause serious disturbances. The careful use of voice and a clear schedule of loads - this is the first rule.
2. Attentiveness During this period, it is better to listen to the body and with the appearance of even the slightest bells (overwork, reluctance to sing, vulture, disruptions of voice, etc.) it is necessary to reduce the load. It is important to feel your body and listen to it.
3. Abandon vocal lessons during menstruation. In the professional environment practiced sick leave during this period.
4. It is better not to leave vocal classes, but to continue with a reasonable load.

Undoubtedly, hygiene and protection of the vocal apparatus during the mutation period is the most important point. In order to preserve and increase their vocal abilities during the mutation period, a sparing mode of operation is necessary.
