Several factors can make it harder to sing as you get older. Some of these include:
1. Vocal Cord Wear and Tear: Over the years, your vocal cords experience a lot of use, especially if you’re a regular singer. This can lead to wear and tear, affecting your voice’s quality and range.
2. Age-related Changes in Vocal Cords: As we age, our vocal cords lose their elasticity, which can cause the voice to become weaker or more breathy.
3. Respiratory System Changes: The respiratory system, which is crucial for singing, also deteriorates with age. Lungs lose their elasticity and efficiency, which can make it harder to hold notes and sing with power.
4. Systemic Body Changes: Other age-related changes in the body, such as weight gain or loss, can affect the voice. H
