The answer to your questions depends a LOT on your age. If you're in your early teen years, your voice is probably growing/changing. Girls' voices change too, but not as dramatically as guys' do. Most girls go through a period where their voice is breathy and the vocal folds don't quite come together. Once the growth period is over it fixes itself.
If you stopped singing for a month or two, it could also have a major impact on your voice. Your technique probably changed - it's the effect of not working out for a month. When you get back to it, everything's really weird at first. You remember how to do it, but your muscles don't want to.
Most of singing is muscle memory. You have voice lessons to train your muscles to move a certain way (or NOT move a certain way, depending on which muscles where). Your muscles are stupid. They forget simple tasks, and it takes a little while to whip them back into shape. If you go back to practicing every day and warming up WELL, your voice should go back to normal within a month.
You should start taking voice lessons again if you can. Your teacher can help you.
Be nice to your voice - drink tea with honey, drink room temperature water when you're warming up, make sure you're hydrated.
If your voice doesn't go back to the way it was in a month, get checked out by an ENT - Ear, Nose and Throat doctor and make sure you don't have nodules on your vocal chords. (Those can be caused by like, viruses, singing with bad technique, etc...)
But in the meantime, try to get back into it. Start a workout routine with your voice, lol
Good luck. Lemme know if you need any other voice help, I went to college for vocal performance. (Doing an English major now, but that's what I went for!)

thank you so much.

I am a teenager, but i've been told by several vocal professionals that my voice/range is equivalent to that of a woman. So I still don't know what this could be.


And I've been starting to practice every day again.

I'm a laid-back 26 year old with a Psychology BA, starting my MA program, and working my way into the field as quickly as I can. It took me an extra Bachelor's degree (in vocal performance and creative writing) to figure it out, but I was put on this Earth to help, to heal, and to love.

I have made the decision to dedicate my life and career to helping others. I am here to do just that.

I've been a member since 2004, and since I signed up, I've gone through quite a lot and learned quite a lot from it. I'm here to give guidance where I had none; no one should have to go through the difficulties I went through alone.
