Two years ago, I used to be in a choir, and I was distinguished as tenor that time. Now in the present, I think my vocal range has gotten slightly low, I can't reach the notes I used to reach. I don't know, is it lack of practice, or did my voice really get low?
That's the case with most singers. Singing =/= talking. I don't know what the difference is, my guess the diaphragm is moved around a lot more when singing.
1. Yes, vocal range changes, not only through the years, but also through the day. In the morning you probably have a lower or narrower range and you will gain high notes during the day. With vocalisation you can widen your range not only temporarily, but with regular vocalisation you can widen it permanently. 2. Lack of practise won't get your range lower or higher, it may narrow it but only with prolonged periods of not singing, which I guess it's not the case. 3. You'll get used to using lower notes, they are awesome when you get to know them 4. Most probably your vocal range has changed due to hormones and puberty, particularly because of your age and because it has lowered. Hormones don't cause vocal range to be higher in males, but lower. 5. Sung and spoken voices may or not be completely different (although in general they are). Particularly when speaking of range. Damon Albarn (Blur's lead singer) has a very low voice when speaking, but he can hit very high notes when singing. If you have any more questions, ask away ---------- Post added 10th Jul 2013 at 02:50 AM ---------- My guess is that you position your voice (aka, you make it resound) in a different place when you're speaking than when you're singing.
