Hi all,

I have been watching YouTube videos of bandsters. I have noticed that a lot of their voices changed in the course if their journeys. Have any of you noticed or been told that your voices have changed during there weight loss process.

No.

Not really my spoken voice. I had a music scholarship in college for voice. For a long time I thought my voice had lowered as I aged. Now I wonder if it was that I had fat surrounding my lungs which reduced my air control. The less air control/support you have the harder it is to hit higher notes and sustain them. I find that having lost about 150 pounds that I consistantly can hit higher notes and hold them for longer.

YES. I figured that this was the issue that I've notice tone changes in sever peoples voices upon weight loss. It makes since b/c often times there is less pressure on the lungs and vovcal cords wonce on attains a certain amount of loss.
