People mature as follows:
- Child’s voice - Till about 13
- During Puberty - Voice gets deeper and Larynx drops
- 20s - Somewhat youthful but getting deeper
- 30s - Most people go into a complete adult voice somewhere here
- 40s - Solid man’s voice
After this the voice just gets more and more beat up decade after decade. People usually have a sort of groggy old person’s voice eventually in their 50s and 60s. It just starts sounding rougher and rougher. But sometimes things work differently. I know guys that are 26 and they sound like their 40 on the phone but they are football player size guys. I know a 40 year old at work and his voice sounds like he’s in his late 20s. Usually from what I can tell guys start sounding much older as early as 26; that is, they start having deeper and more gritty voices. Shit I know high school kids with deep voices as if they are 25. It’s crazy actually.
I’d actually say the problem for men is that their voices mature too fast in America. It is quite rare to see someone like that 40 year old I mentioned with a much youthful voice.
