While young people's voices tend to be full and resonant, older voices tend to sound weaker and thinner. There are a number of theories for why these changes occur.

What we do know is that age-related changes in the voice include lowering of pitch, increased breathlessness, trembling, slower and less precise pronunciation, and decreased volume.
