Why bother changing Padmé's voice in Episode I to sound like how she was in Episode II, when it takes place ten years before it? The character should be 14 in this movie.

Because Padme as queen has that stupid deep monotone ADR'd voice that makes her sound even more boring than her character is already.

How was it ever explained that she has a completely different person's voice when dressed in Royal robes anyway? Did a wizard do it?

I think it's her "Christian Bale Batman Voice." She does it in her Amidala persona, so people don't suspect she's Padme.
