BREAKING OF THE VOICE.
II Is Caused by an Organic Change
In the Larynx-

II L. Caused by an Change
la the Larynx-
The peculiar physiological causes OF
what is called the breaking of the voice
are not quite understood. but it is
known to depend Immediately upon an
organic change in the larynx, the organ
of the voice. which occurs in the male
sex between the ages Of fourteen and
sixteen. Before that the larynx or
boys resembles thai of girls, but when
the voice begins to break the vocal
chords become heightened at least one
third. the angle of the thyroid cartilage
becomes enlarged, and the muscles
which n the organs of the voice
with the hypoid bone and the base of
the tongue become elongated.
While the change of form is taking
place the voice is untitled for singing
and SHOULD be used only with great
care. In other words. the breaking
of the voice is due to the rapid de
veiopment of the larynx. which takes
place at certain ages and which leads
to a change In the range of the voice.
The peculiar harshness of the voice
when it is thus breaking seems to be
due to a temporary congestion and
swollen condition of the mucous mem
brane of the vocal chords
ing h active growth of the whole
larynx.
