I am 16.5. I have been able to sing low G on the bass staff and occasionally lower but over the past two weeks those notes have become airy and worthless. Low C is even weak sometimes. Also I am able to sing a high Ab and high A infrequently. My voice is weakened greatly if I sustain a pitch up there plus the tone is whiny. Can one's voice shift higher?

Oh yes, anything can happen to changing voices (that means teenagers and some people in their twenties). I've seen it all the time. It´s very common for young singers to start as baritones and later on end up tenors or the other way around. It also happens to mezzos, some may turn up to be sopranos. Logic would tell you that voices can only go lower and stay at a certain pitch level after puberty, but this is not always true. Also, many psychological factors change teenager voices. Voices may change during Summer and Winter break, when teenagers feel more free to be themselves and there is no pressure to sound "manly" (low) or "girly" (usually breathy) like the rest of the boys or girls in school. Same thing happens when it's close to their birthdays. Sometimes voices change together in a group of friends.

no, in case you're born to be a tenor, then you definately're a tenor. this is like in case you're born to be 6ft tall, you could placed on footwear to make you taller, or you could hunch to be shorter, yet the two are pretend. particular, tenors can sing of their low stages, they nonetheless proceed to sound like tenors. ( you may desire to pay an entire fortune to attempt and get it surgically altered, yet there isn't various practice in that section, and no you will ever pick to assure the outcomes.) learn how to be mushy with who and what you're, and be the final you are going to be. it is real, and it counts for a lot a lot extra beneficial than what number notes you could hit or not.

It sounds like your range is narrowing, not getting higher. Is there something going on in your life? Tension can sometimes make your muscles (and your voice box, of course) tense up (duh (-:), and the low notes don't come out as well.
I'd talk with my music teacher, if I were you. S/he can listen and tell you if it's normal or not. You may want to see a doctor, though, if your teacher thinks it's a little weird, too. Looking at the vocal chords is a relatively minor procedure. I don't want to be a scare-monger, but if you are worried, check it out.

The other day I was driving to work, and I turned into a Tasty-Freeze, so you can certainly turn into a tenor.
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!
