Back in 2021, I had the pleasure of joining Phillipa Butler on the Moving Through Menopause Podcast for a conversation all about the voice in midlife—what happens when it starts to feel less reliable, and how we can keep it healthy and strong.
As a singing teacher, I often work with singers who notice their voices have changed as they get older. Sometimes it feels like the voice you once knew has “turned against you.” The truth is, though, there are always strategies to support your vocal health and coax your voice back to life.
Changes in the voice during midlife are completely natural. Hormonal shifts, overall health, and even lifestyle can all affect the way your vocal cords perform. But singing in midlife can still be a joyful, empowering experience—especially when you understand how to care for your instrument.
