I made a topic like this a year ago, and it seems that I was inaccurate. I recently had found some old voice recordings of mine, it turns out my voice used to be squeaker than I remembered it. My original thought was that my voice took only a few months to change, but in actuality it took a bit over a year.

Here's a link to the original topic: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjX0ZKj6uHWAhVJbiYKHWl9CYIQFgg1MAI&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sbmania.net%2Fforums%2Ftopic%2F57074-when-did-your-voice-change%2F&usg=AOvVaw3hDmAlJp2399LuX-WABmer


Here's how my voiced changed throughout the years, with a more accurate descrption


Elementary School: Very squeaky, 5th Grade was the last full schoolyear with my squeaky voice, 2013 was the last full year with my old voice, from January to New Year's Eve, everyday I had my old squeaky voice.

6th Grade: I had a solid squeaky voice in the 2013 half of the year, same with January and February. One time in March 2014, all of the sudden, my voice got really deep, then when recess was over, my voice went back to being squeaky for the rest of the afternoon. In April, it was still squeaky, but my voice cracked like crazy. During May, we had a field trip to a Market, my voice was squeaky for the whole day. Then at the end of May, we went to Dorney Park, instead of my voice being either squeaky or deep, it was at a weird "in-between" pitch, then when I got home it was squeaky again! My voice was then solidly squeaky during the first two or so weeks of June. On the last day of school, it was in-between, then during the after-school party, it went back to being squeaky. My voice then officially entered the "in-between" phase during my first day of Camp. During my whole six weeks in camp, my voice was in the "in-between" stage, although the squeakiness came back during certain parts of 7th Grade.

Summer 2014: A solid in-between voice that lasted the whole summer during camp, and when I was at the pool with my friends.

7th Grade: In September 2014, the switching back and forth came back, some days it was squeaky, most of the year it was an "in-between" voice, and then sometimes it got really deep. It was really deep on my 13th birthday, but a few weeks later, it switched back to being squeaky, after that, it switched back to being "in-between", where it was neither squeaky or deep. I remember during the first half of 7th Grade, I'd have a squeakier voice during Science, then in Social Studies and Spanish it was in-between, then It'd get really deep during Math. Then back to being in-between again during English. Then squeaky again at lunch, on the bus, or when I'm at home! In the 2015 half of the year, I had a solid in-between voice. I have a recording of myself from March 2015, and my voice was in the "in-between" stage. Sometime right before the beginning of 8th Grade, it stopped switching and it permanatley changed, and I became fully deep.

8th Grade to present: Really deep voice, no more switching back and forth, the in-between voice and the squeaky voices are now gone. 8th Grade was the first full year with my new deep voice.
 
In Grade 8, my voice started to get deeper. It was like "50% child 50% adult" until I was about 14 and a half. In Grade 10, my voice was even deeper and it was closer to my current adult voice (I have that same voice since I was 16).
 
Here's how my voice changed:
Elementary school (K-6th): I have appeared to have a severe case of...BABY VOICE. (really shrill)
7th grade: Voice finally matured a little bit, this was where my singing was at its peak.
8th grade: ...and my singing voice went on a downward spiral, since my voice matured by a lot at this point.
9th grade-now: I finally got my adult voice, but the voice typically has a tone that makes me sound mildly angry.
 
...I genuinely have no clue. My voice has never been that high, even when I was younger.
 
I don't remember exactly because i've always heard my voice sound the same even when I was a child. It was probably gradually changing starting from 7th grade and ended sometime in 8th grade.
 
I don't remember exactly when my voice changed, or how long it took, but I do recall that as I boy I sounded very much like this man:

And after I made it through puberty, my voice had matured even more.

:P

But honestly, I don't remember. :rolleyes:
 
Hmm...looks like I need to refer to this table when it comes to choosing an American school grade...

Pretty sure I voice gradually got deeper when I was around 13/14 so around Year 8/9 (Grade 7/8). I can't honestly tell because I don't have that much on my voice during that period.
 
One day in June 2016, when I was almost done with 6th grade, I woke up and realized my voice was deeper than normal and never came back to my former high-pitched voice. Since then, my voice got a little more deeper every month until earlier this year. I have a very deep child voice right now.
 
I'm not sure when my voice got changed. It went from really high to really deep. I don't really pay any attention to it though.
 
I remember I changed around February 2015 for the most part. I might have slowly refined my voice since but that's where I went deep.
 
Mine started changing around 6th grade, but it changed completely in 7th grade. The change was swift, I barely even noticed it.
 
Voice Change typically has three or four stages:

Squeaky: A child's voice, this typicaly lasts for a little over decade, from the time you are born until early adolescence. This stages starts to end when voice starts to crack. 5th Grade is usually the last full year where everybody has a squeaky voice, although 7th Grade is the last year were squeaky voices are still common. During this stage, your voice is the highest. Your 13th birthday is typically the last birthday where you're squeaky.

In-between: This stage usually occurs when most guys are in 8th Grade, and typically ends right before high school. This is when your voice is lower than a child's, but squeakier than an adult's. This is the most temporary stage, and usually lasts from a couple months, to a little bit over a year. This is also when your voice is out of control, and switches back and forth. It's also the stage where your voice cracks the most. Guys also also sound like they have a cold during this phase. Some guys don't even reach this stage, it just cuts from squeaky to really deep. Most people's voices drop in during the summer before 8th Grade, but I know a guy who had a weird voice change, he squeaky for the first half of 7th Grade, and then deep in the second half of the year (It changed sometime around March 2015) meanwhile, I had an "in-between" voice for the whole school year.

Modern Deep Voice and Adult Pitch: Guys get their adult voices rougly 2 years after their voices break (Around their sophmore year of high school). The voice is done cracking, this is the longest stage (This lasts for decades), this it it, you will have this voice for the rest of your life. This is when your voice is a man's voice, and about four octaves deeper than your squeaky voice, and two octaves deeper than the in-between. The in-between voice can still be heard while yelling or whining.
 
I would say around when I was 13-14. I'm not even sure if my voice is deep or not, it's deeper then when I was in 6th grade for sure though.
 
I think my voice changed sometime during 9th grade. I have a video from a little before that where my voice is really high, and now my voice is low-ish.
