Abstrakt		According to the study, the main characteristic of adolescent voice is the instability of amplitude (loudness) and specifically the instability of pitch. Female voices appear more stable than male ones. No single variable of performed voice analysis can distinguish normal variation of voice development from pathologic disorders. The reason for this instability can be attributed to more gradual adaptation of the afferent and efferent nervous control to the rapid growth of the phonatory, respiratory and resonatory organs. in the growing speech apparatus, optimal phonatory patterns can be created, therefore adolescence is an ideal period for treatment of functional voice disorders.
