Androphonia

Today, we are discussing “Androphonia”. This is made by two words, “andro” means male, and “phonia” means sound. It is a speech disorder when females have a low-pitched voice, less than 100Hz, and sound like a male voice.

How does puberty affect speech and quality of voice?

In puberty, women have some changes in their voice and pitch. Females should have a high-pitched voice and similarly, males have a low-pitched voice. Vice versa, when a male has high pitch voice and has bitten voice as a female voice then it’s called “puberphonia”. Both the Conditions are abnormal, and it requires to concern a speech therapist. They will give them suggestions and sessions as well to stable their pitch.

Some exercises can help us to overcome the impact of pitched and stable them:-

Exercise 1:- Deep Breathing

We know that breathing is the most important activity for speech. It helps to open our throat and give space to generate the voice. While doing the breathing, you must focus on the fact that a higher-pitched voice needs more air. Continue practicing “breathing” helps a lot and make a clear way of voice.

Exercise 2:- Record your voice

By hearing your voice, you may focus on how are you speaking and what the sound is? Sometimes, when we heard our voice then we just hated the way we sounded because of the pitch. Focus on your voice and sounds while speaking.

Exercise 3:- Make a way of sound

It helps us to make a clear voice while speaking and helps to stabilize our pitch. For a higher pitch, you try to make a strong voice that can travel from all over your body.

Exercise 4:- Yawn-Sigh Approach

Performing a yawn just before phonation would result in phonation with a relaxed vocal tract as it expands the pharynx and stretches and then relaxes the extrinsic laryngeal muscles, thus lowering the larynx in the neck to a more neutral position and permitting a more forward placement of the tongue in the oral cavity.
