Every voice has a natural range (from its “floor” to its “ceiling”), often 2 ½ octaves or more. Over time, some singers notice upper range loss or effortfulness (the ceiling descends). Yet there are no nodules or polyps.

When the “muscular ceiling” descends, it feels and sounds like the voice has to be pushed up to its upper range and the throat may almost ache with the effort. And pitch may sag.

A common association in women is menopause, but it can be seen in either sex at any age.

Dr. Bastian is not a voice teacher but offers insights from his work as a laryngologist with hundreds of singers. Read more: https://laryngopedia.com/muscular-ten...
