Danielle-

Remember that every voice is different, so different
voices develop at different times. Some lighter
voices can be fully mature in their mid-20's, some
heavier voices not until 40.

I can't quite explain the difference between studying
as a child and as an adult, but I do know that after
16 years of voice lessons, I understand my voice in a
COMPLETELY different way at the age of 30 than I did
at the age of 14. Certainly, the voice has matured,
but my *mental* and *emotional* understanding of what
is happening has also changed, and I don't believe
there is a scientific measurement for that. For me
singing is 90% emotional, so this accounts for a great
difference.

My 2 cents.
