The "Adam's Apple" refers to the larynx or "Voice Box" in the front of your throat. In adolescence, the larynx grows larger and more prominent in males. It should be easily felt as you draw your fingers down the front of your neck from the chin, and you should be able to feel it vibrate or resonate when you speak or sing.

It should appear directly in the midline (center) of your neck, and will be more prominent in thin or lanky boys. A boy's voice will change as he grows older, becoming deeper, with a few stops and starts along the way. Boys who sing regularly, such as those in a choir, will find this change more smooth, whereas boys who tend to do a lot of shouting or athletics, may experience the classic "cracked" voice as the body adapts to the changes.

What does Adams apple do to your neck?

The Adam's apple, or laryngeal prominence, is a noticeable protrusion in the neck formed by the thyroid cartilage surrounding the larynx (voice box). It plays a role in protecting the vocal cords and is more prominent in males due to hormonal influences during puberty, which cause the cartilage to grow larger. While it doesn't have a direct function in neck movement, its presence can affect the appearance of the neck and contribute to the resonance of the voice.


If you have an Adam's Apple does that mean your voice is done maturing?

Having an Adam's Apple does not necessarily mean your voice is done maturing. The Adam's Apple, or laryngeal prominence, is more pronounced in males due to the larger size of their larynx, but vocal changes can continue into early adulthood for both males and females. Voice maturity is a complex process influenced by hormonal changes, vocal cord lengthening, and muscle development.

Why is my Adam's Apple growing quickly but my voice isn't getting deeper?

The size of the Adams apple isn't directly related to the depth of your voice. (If it is at all) my voice is deeper than 98% of white males but I have a smaller Adams apple than most people. If you're over 16 it probly won't get much deeper. But it is possibe that it will. It varries from person to person.
