Jacob Cruikshank’s voice changed due to puberty, as is typical for most individuals during their adolescent years.
As a young person grows, their body undergoes a variety of changes due to the surge of hormones associated with puberty. For males, one of the most noticeable changes is the deepening of the voice. This occurs because the larynx, or voice box, grows larger and the vocal cords lengthen and thicken, causing the voice to resonate at a lower frequency. The change in voice typically begins between the ages of 11 and 15 and can be a gradual process or happen quite quickly, often resulting in a period where the voice may crack or fluctuate wildly in pitch.
Jacob Cruikshank, like any other adolescent male, experienced these changes. As a public figure and the younger brother of internet personality Lucas Cruikshank, Jacob’s voice change was more noticeable to his audience as he appeared in videos and on social media during his teenage years. It’s a natural part of growing up and nothing out of the ordinary. Jacob’s experience with his changing voice is a shared experience among many adolescents as they transition from childhood to adulthood.
