A soprano voice is the highest-pitched tone of voice - normally a term applied the highest female voice. Some young men are capable of this pitch and can be called "boy sopranos". The range of voice is usually from middle C to a high A, or ranging approximately from middle C and up to two octaves above that note.

How old are you when your voice is fully developed for a female?
Every voice is different, depending on the person and their specific voice type. The higher voice types such as soubrettes and light lyric sopranos tend to be younger in their careers because their voices settle faster. As for the larger voices such as dramatic sopranos, Wagnerians sopranos, spinto sopranos, etc... they tend to take much longer to settle to full maturity. It is important to mention that these are merely examples and generalizations. The general rule to follow is that the voice is ALWAYS maturing and changing. Statistics show that the voice settles into its natural singing range in the early to mid 30's. However, the voice continues to change even after it has settled. This is why you see a lot of opera singers switching repertoire later in their careers because their voice has become heavier with age.
