Hey Evan... what makes you think that you are "basically" done with Puberty? Males START ending their puberty phase at the young age of their early 20's so you are no way near done bro... you are on the early stages still... but don't get frustrated bro this voice cracking thing is completely normal it happens to every guy going through puberty... yes, it can be annoying and in some cases a bit embarrassing.
During puberty your voice is becoming deeper... the testosterone hormone causes this to happen this hormone causes your voice box to grow and your vocal cords to grow longer and thicker... only when your vocal cords are finished growing, your voice will stop cracking and squeaking. You will have a lower, deeper adult voice then. This process will probably last some time but don't worry... you will soon exit this phase.
- An important thing to know here is that we all have different bodies and so we all develop at different rates... you might be taller than most of your friends or shorter, or you might already have facial hair or hair on certain parts of your body and your friends still don't because like I said before, everyone goes through puberty at different speeds.
- One thing for sure is that you are still going through puberty and I advice you to not get too frustrated... all this is normal and your voice will stop cracking soon.
I wish you the best and I am always here for any other questions you might have. Take care

Your still in the phase of puberty actually and you will be for another year or two and some things you can do to prevent it from cracking is to relax Your voice naturally gets higher when you are tense. If you are speaking before a crowd, try to relax and take deep breaths. Try not to be nervous, this will cause involuntary spasms in your voicebox, causing the pitch to fluctuate. Calm down. Secondly give your voice a rest. Try not to scream. Bellow (from the diaphragm) if you have to, but don't scream (or squeal). Get a microphone or cup your hands. Thirdly if you are a screamer, take it easy on the icy cold water. Drink lukewarm water instead. Imagine getting doused with ice water after a workout. You involuntarily tense up, no matter how awesome it feels. Fourth drink water if you will be talking for a while it reduces stress on the chords and lastly try making a hot water and honey drink to calm the vocals. Thats what seems to work for a lot of people at the time of puberty.
