ok, so im a singer, and im good at it, (im a teenage girl). and im not like one of those girls who say their good, but they sound like crap. i take lessons and everything. i have a 4 octave range (soprano). but lately it seems tht my voice is changing. even with warmups i cant sound like i did before. ive heard that everyones voice changes, even girls. my talking voice hasn't, just my singing voice. will i still be a good singer when this is over? i really dont wanna lose it.

i had the same problem
i wasn't as good as you appear to be but i wasn't awful
my singing voice has gotten lower and i can't sing like i used to
but part of that is because i haven't had a really good teacher in a few years (had a great one but he moved)
good luck!!
i'm sure u will be able to sing just as well or better when your voice is situated

I hate to tell you this, but get ready for a long and bumpy ride.
We all know a boy's voice changes. They come into puberty singing treble and turn into basses within two years. What you may not know is that the female voice changes just as much, but over a longer period of time.
The female voice begins changing with puberty and will go through many separate range and quality changes until about the age of 25. It's also different from the male voice change in that it isn't a downhill plunge. Think of your voice at this time like a roller-coaster. Your range will expand, contract, expand again, and even shift upwards or downwards inexplicably.
You won't see anything too dramatic, so if you are a soprano at the age of 16, you will probably still be a soprano at the age of 25, but be prepared for sudden changes within the Fach. Don't worry--with training, you should be able to retain most of your range and quality, if not even more!!

i know how that is. same thing happened to me. if this just happened lately it might be sum light allergies. that's what's affecting my singing right now. if it happens to be a long term thing, you're gonna have to find you voice again and sing maybe as a second or even an alto. sing at a range that you will sound good! if you can't sing the highest notes at the moment, then lay them off for a while until u get your voice back. if its permanent then i'm sure that you just have to figure out what notes you CAN sing and you will sound as good as ever. just in a different range
