Hi Michael… actually, I don't know how testosterone from exercise would affect your voice, though I know hormones can indeed affect it. Your voice may still be growing into its adult stage, as well. You shouldn't lose your high notes, if you use good technique, but you would indeed add resonance and lower range as your voice grows into its full expression. Do heed the cautions with weights which I outline in this article. I wish you the very best, too!

Hello Ms Judy, forgive me for asking this because it might sound kind of silly and off, im only 15 haha. But im curious if whether weightlifting would take a take a toll on my voice by deepening it somehow? Ive been weightlifting for nearly two years, been from obese to skinny and this concerned me because i have quite a light tenor voice which i appreciate and i never noticed or questioned myself whether the testosterone from all the exercise would have been enough to affect my voice in any way. thank you so much if you read and i hope for you all the best in life!

i was, however, overtraining myself by going to the gym every day. Wasn’t letting my muscles fully heal. The guys at live forever at http://letslivelonger.blogspot.com/2009/04/lift-weights-to-lose-weight.html told me to cut back to 3 days a week. Much better. I am wasting less of my time and gaining more muscle from the times I do a work out. Good to have some days just for cardio too. Thanks guys!
