Summary

Most opera singers who take on demanding roles when young lose their voices early. Although some people think this is because voices typically aren’t powerful enough for demanding roles when singers are young, the actual reason these singers lose their voices early is that young singers don’t have the training they need to avoid straining vocal cords.

Strongly Supported Conclusions

Singing a demanding role when young can cause vocal straining.

Lack of training, rather than lack of power, causes most singers who take on demanding roles when young to lose their voices early.

Improved training of young singers can help them keep their voices longer.
