The Second Voice Change helps singers understand why their voices change with age and how to keep singing with confidence and joy for years to come.
Have you noticed…
Your range isn’t what it used to be.
Long rehearsals leave you tired.
High notes feel unpredictable.
Your tone has changed.
Your voice simply doesn’t feel like “your voice.”
These changes are incredibly common but they are rarely discussed.
The Second Voice Change grew out of more than a decade of lectures and conversations with singers who wondered if they were “losing their voice.” Rather than focusing on decline, the book explains how voices naturally evolve over time and how singers can adapt so they continue making music for decades.
Who is this for?
While this book is useful for choir directors and vocal professionals, the target audience is amateur singers. It is full of practical strategies and exercises for people who sing in community choirs, ensembles in their house of worship, or just love singing.
Donald Milton III has spent decades working with singers of all ages and has presented his lectureThe Second Voice Change: The Aging Voice throughout the United States and internationally. His work combines practical voice science with the joy of lifelong singing.
This book began as a lecture that has been presented in 13 states and three countries. I’ve learned that the second voice change is something people desperately want to learn about but asking about it feels too personal. If you’d like to bring the lecture to your chorus or community, click below.
