In this episode of The Intelligent Vocalist, John explores a surprising reason the voice can feel different with age. He explains how changes in the brain and nervous system affect the speed and precision of the signals that control your voice. The encouraging news is that the brain remains highly adaptable, and understanding these changes is the first step toward strengthening the brain-voice connection. Episode highlights: Changes in myelin, dopamine, acetylcholine, and motor planning can affect vocal speed, timing, and precision. Neuroplasticity means the brain can still adapt and strengthen with training well into later life. Singing and musical training can help keep the brain's voice-related systems more responsive.
