Coming up, why does your voice sound different to you than to other people? And does helium really change your voice? This is But Why.

I'm Jane Lindholm.

Today we're talking all about our voices with Dr. Anne Shih, a pediatric otolaryngologist at Boston Children's Hospital.

So Dr. Shih, I am listening to you and you sound lovely, and I'm very used to listening to myself in headphones now.

As always, if you have a question about anything, have an adult record you asking it on a smartphone using an app like Voice Memos.

Then have them email the file to questions@butwhykids.org. And again, if you don't use your voice or if you're nervous about asking your question, you can always have your adult write it down and send it to us or have them record themselves asking for you.

But Why is produced by Sarah Baik, Melody Bodette, and me, Jane Lindholm, at Vermont Public and distributed by PRX.

Our video producer is Joey Palumbo, and our theme music is by Luke Reynolds.

Okay, I'm ready
