Thread Name: Why do older voices sometimes quaver?
Subject: Why do older voices sometimes quaver?
While waiting in line yesterday I was listening to an older lady talking, and her speaking voice was quite quavery - not an uncommon thing in older people. It set me thinking......why does this happen in some voices as we age? What causes it? More importantly, if you notice your own voice beginning to shake when talking or singing (no, I'm not), is it possible to reverse that?
