How to Change Your Voice Naturally

Voice changes occur naturally throughout a person's life. The vocal chords change during adolescence and continually as we age. For some people, this change is gradual and leaves them with a high-pitched voice. Having a childlike voice may leave you at a professional and social disadvantage.
