In this video Christella Antoni addresses the question many people with a persistently high-pitched male voice are afraid to ask: could it be puberphonia? She explains what puberphonia is, why the voice fails to complete its transition at puberty, and the emotional factors that can play a part.
Christella also covers what can be done about it — and the answer is reassuring. Puberphonia is highly treatable with voice therapy, often in just a handful of sessions. She explains why therapy, not surgery, is the right approach, and what a typical course of treatment looks like.
