Subject:  Hormones and the Voice




The discussion of thr castratti brings up an important concept of
hormones and the voice. Obviously there is a direct connection here. Any
woman who is premenstrual can tell you of this connection. Most seem to lose
a note or two off of the top of their voices during this time. They become
edemic due to the hormones. What about testosterone treatments ? What
effect does taking testosterone have on a womans voice ? For that matter,
what effect does it have on a mans voice ? What about a man taking female
hormones ? Forget before puberty. We know the effect of medical or real
castration. What is the effect of a mature singer taking either hormone ?
