Okay. I thought it wouldn't be a problem but I started to notice my voice has become incredibly low pitched. It's really bothering me. Alot of people say I don't sound my age and that I sound like I'm 40! I'm no where near that age! I really need to find out! Is there a way I can make my voice pitch higher without seeing a doctor or anything like that?

I apologize for not putting in more details earlier!
I'm a female and no I have not recently started taking voice lessons but I intend to. That's when I noticed my voice was low pitched and I got worried. I haven't been doing anything that could've been affecting my voice in any way. It just seemed to had become like that naturally. Like I said before, a lot of people stated that I have the voice of a 40 year-old woman, which didn't sound too complementing. A doctor is one of my options but I was hoping for a fast, easy, do-it-yourself kind of method to make it higher. Any suggestions? I'm pretty sure it's still getting lower but I don't know how to stop it! Help!

Ok, if you just went through a voice transition then you may not have the same range you had before. Since I don't have a lot of information, it's really hard to give you a specific answer. Are you male or female? Voices mature and you may sound more colorful and not as light as you used to, that's a good thing. Do you have a voice teacher? If they are qualified and not alarmed then it may be a normal progression. It's interesting that you mention seeing a doctor....are you experiencing sore throat, laryngitis, hoarseness, bronchial infection....there are so many things. If it would comfort you to see a doctor, then make an appointment to see an ENT (ear nose and throat doctor). They can look at your vocal cords to see if there is a structural problem. I'm reluctant to tell you what you should do until I have a little more information. If you'd like, post more details and we might be able to help you further. Best to you and don't do anything forceful with your voice in the meantime.

Can't answer this without asking a whole lot of questions first:
Have you recently started singing lessons? Sometimes a change in the color and quality comes out that one never thought of before.
Are you on medication- of any sort- and has there been a recent change in your dosage? A lot of medicines can cause temporary changes, some permanent.
I can't tell from your name if you're male or female- lots of issues here- and sometimes it is gender specific ( like if you've just had a baby).
Are you singing more than usual and is it just vocal fatigue and hoarseness showing up?
Please write back and I'll try and get more specific.
