In children choirs the measurements support the singing teachers in differentiating between development of voice and pathology (e.g. allergy and infections). This review is based on the study of Mette Pedersen from 2008 “Normal Development of Voice in Children: Advances in Evidence-Based Standards“.

The frequency of the normal speaking voice in children ranges from 250-400 Hz, adult females tend to speak around 200 Hz on average, and adult males around 150 Hz. Read more>>>>>>>>
