At what age your voice is fully developed?

At what age is a woman's singing voice fully developed?

• Answer:

  I suspect, yesmydog, that it could be a little bit of a generalization to say that vocal music shouldn't really be taught until fifteen, but then I've been formally trained in Indian music since I was six and the styles are markedly different. It's why I've got such an obvious break; because we never use our head voices we basically belt everything and have a sort of limited and low-ish range, and I was never taught to mix my tones. But yeah, my piano teacher tells me that he doesn't intend to start teaching me voice formally for another year or so -- I'm seventeen now -- just because the female voice develops as 'late' as it does.
