Get In Touch. Socialize With Us. Hugh McLean on 23 February How to Deepen Your Voice Naturally There are several ways to train your vocal cords to emit a naturally deeper tone. Here are five techniques on how to deepen your voice without testosterone treatments or shots, and without any form of surgery: 1. Evaluate and Record Your Current Pitch The first step is to understand where your current pitch lies. Use Your Diaphragm When Speaking This is advice for those wanting to lower their voice into a deeper register.
Improve Your Posture While this tip sounds too easy, you might be surprised how a proper posture can contribute to the lowering of your voice. Sign up for Speech Therapy Sessions Seeking the help of a professional vocal coach or a speech-language pathologist can be ideal when learning how to deepen your voice.
With that said, a vocal coach or a speech pathologist can help in the step-by-step process and in making sure that the sessions include vocal exercises such as: Vocal flexibility Quality Range Style Resonance Intensity Non-verbal communication Additionally, a study performed by Harvard University medical school stresses that a voice evaluation should occur before getting into non-natural methods of deepening the voice.
How to Deepen Your Voice Permanently While some think that it is possible to deepen the voice in a day or two, it actually takes months to develop a lower register. Here are some options: 1. Take Hormone Treatments When searching how to deepen your voice permanently, testosterone treatments top the list. Consider Relaxation Laryngoplast There are three variations of this surgical procedure, which all begin with a small incision on the neck to access the thyroid cartilage and to decrease tension in the vocal folds to give a deeper voice.
Resection of unilateral or bilateral vertical strips of cartilage, leading to a decreased tension in the vocal folds. A linear vertical incision on the two sides of the cartilage. Two margins are overlapped, causing decreased tension in the vocal folds. A bilateral incision of the thyroid cartilage is done. Edit this Article. We use cookies to make wikiHow great.

Your voice will be its most natural and powerful when it comes from the area just behind and around your nose. In order to practice speaking from this place, hum mmm-hmm, as if you were responding to a question affirmatively. Feel the vibration in your face as you hum. This is where you should focus on speaking from. Learn how to breathe from your diaphragm. Breathing from your diaphragm as opposed to your chest will make your voice both more powerful and deeper.
When you breathe, your stomach should rise, and your chest and shoulders should remain still. These are full, diaphragm breaths. Speak from the diaphragm. You want your breath to come from your diaphragm, and go out through the part of your face you identified in step one.
Practice this often, saying anything you like, but focusing on these two parts of your body. You will notice that you can get more power in your voice with less vocal strain, resulting in a louder, deeper voice. Keep practicing. At first, breathing this way will feel unnatural and you'll probably switch back to your normal way of breathing and speaking often.
But if you practice for a couple of weeks, as often as you can remember, eventually it will become second nature. Learning to breathe from your diaphragm is one of the easiest ways to naturally improve your voice. Method 2. Start speaking from your stomach instead of your throat. Consciously lower your Adam's apple by slowly swallowing, the last movement of a swallow before your throat goes up is the position you want.
Another way is to lower the back of your tongue into your throat. This sounds difficult but play around with it till you find something that works. Start off slow. If your close friends or family suddenly hear you go from a 1st soprano to a bass you're going to be found out and have decongestants thrown at you.
In conversation say a few words at the beginning and end of a sentence in a lower tone. Just be subtle. Be careful, and reign it back if you start to feel serious strain.
Never tried 6 sets, but generally with lifting weights I stick to 3, so I did the same thing here. I only really look at the numbers. In terms of vocal fry, a certain amount of it is unavoidable.
Median also determines how low you can get with the musical pitch I believe. Greatest basses usually have less than 60med or so. How is your progress going by the way? Progress with the app is going pretty well. How long will it take to get a deep voice? I am And if I follow these steps, will I get a fry range voice? What that did for me is make them get used to vibrating every day and for long periods of time which by default made them thicker and more resistant.
However, note that my voice was in the countertenor range before 12, then it lowered to somewhere to the normal vocal range of a teenager with cracks and all that, but as I said I did hurt my voice for quite a bit before I realized what was happening, which by default lowered it to about 90 hz and weakened it, and it took some time to repair it.
Once you got them down you can focus on maintaining it and going lower slowly. What exercises are you referring to in your 4th paragraph? The ones that you say got your voice down to F1? Hi there! Hi Kai, sorry for the late reply. You caught quite late over here in the UK. Is there an example of a voice which would be ideal for you? No worries! Generally more on the masculine side, but not incredibly deep sounding. I plan on asking my doctor about possible ways I could safely lower my voice and whether these exercises could work or not, but I did want to get your opinion first, since you did write the post.
Thanks for replying anyways though! Did your morning voice also become deeper, or was it like the difference between your morning and day voice which became smaller?
What if my voice depth is about 59 Hz while the highest one is 77Hz is that considered as deep voice or its just my coincidence to think that it is? My voice depth is htz and I am 24 years old. Do you have any recommendations to make it deeper. Wow, from to Do you recommend a neck harness over the regular neck crunches by the way? I recommend both. Other people have had better results than me too. For the SCM neck exercises, I used to do them with a folder rested on my forehead that weighed 0.
Many people have said so. During puberty I tried making it deeper and that just worsened it, as just speaking normally my voice is never the same tone. Do these exercises help a woman too? Are you a woman? This has to be the best advice I have ever read or watched on the subject. I feel I can take a realistic approach and achieve results thanks to your willingness to go all in. Thank you man. Hey MD, thank you very much. Thanks for the recommendation too. I just wish to find out whether if you stop doing the exercises your voice becomes as high as it originally was, or you have to keep doing them forever if you want your voice to remain very deep forever.
In terms of voice deepening, I seem to remember that it levels off in your late teens, then very slowly deepens over time, but not by much maybe 10 Hz or so.
I also saw a few people saying something about losing their morning voice….. Do you lose your morning voice after doing the exercises for some time? So Im 17 and my avg frequency is about hertz, Is that considered avg?
I think the app is decent and I like it. I did the neck exercises for a few months and it worked. My voice went from 94 hz to 76 hz. But unfortunatuly, I have been too lazy to do the exercises lately, and I feel like my voice has gone up a bit after not doing them. Do you think my voice will deepen faster than when I started if I start doing them again because of muscle memory? Thanks for writing in. Is there anything else you were doing too?
I also did some humming and diaphragmatic breathing exercises but I think the neck exercises were the most effective. Or is that too deep for deepening? Not really. Hard to explain.
It seems more prevalent in music. A lot of baritones sound deeper because they have darker timbres, like Matt Berninger or Josh Turner. Is that helpful? Will the exercises and procedures above work for me at this age? I hope so. To be honest, I only really recommend people of your age use the app to keep a track of your voice pitch over time. During puberty, the male voice generally drops from about Hz to Hz, which is a pretty huge drop and not the kind of thing you can achieve with these exercises.
Maybe it would help you to know that your voice is still developing though. Your email address will not be published. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

Aspirate You can try this one for yourself and immediately see its effect. You should see your numbers drop as soon as you take on this breathier kind of tone.
And not only does this make your voice deeper, it makes it more attractive too. A study found that the most attractive male voices were also the breathiest — and this was so pronounced that women preferred a high-pitched but breathy voice over a deep, non-breathy one. In fact, I now make a point of drinking a litre of water an hour before going on a date or to an important meeting. This is backed up by a paper on vocal attractiveness, which found that the voices which varied less in pitch were the most likely to be considered deep.
In fact, pitch variation was almost as important as actual pitch in deciding whether a voice was deep or not. Michael March 13, at pm Reply. Vocular March 13, at pm Reply.

Vocular February 4, at am Reply. Alternately, you can read a passage from a newspaper or a book. Consider the volume, tone, breathiness and especially the pitch of your voice. Relax your throat. When you try to speak lower than normal, your voice is less likely to crack. Aim to relax your throat as much as possible, so that you do not tighten your vocal cords.
Perform reading exercises. Choose a passage from one of your favorite books or articles. Practice reading the passage slowly and with a low voice. If you find yourself reading too quickly, you may notice your voice will lose its timbre.
Keep your chin up, breathe through your belly and read the passage. Do voice exercises with a mobile application. There are a variety of mobile applications available for smart phones or tablets, which you can use to train your vocal cords on your own time. These applications allow you to train towards specific goals and to monitor your performance. For instance, you could try one of the following applications: Vocular allows you to measure how deep your voice sounds.
It tells you how deep you are speaking and even lets you compare your voice to celebrities with similar sounding voices. Try humming. Hum deeply from your throat, with your lips parted and your chin pointed down toward your chest, to warm up your voice. Humming is an excellent warm up for musicians and singers, as well as anyone who wants to improve their speaking voice.
Speak through your mouth. Instead of speaking through your nose, you should speak through your mouth. Although you can have a deep voice that is nasal, it sounds better to have a deep voice that does not have a nasal quality. Practice projecting your speaking voice. Learn to talk so that you hear your voice out in front of yourself. Don't hold your stomach in while learning this technique. Breathe from your diaphragm. You should feel your breath moving from your belly upwards through your chest and then out of your mouth.
Practice gradual changes to your voice. Avoid making harsh efforts to change your voice, so as to prevent any straining of the vocal cords. At the start, only work your voice out for short periods of time, and do so only a couple of semitones below your normal pitch. Over time, carefully lower your practice pitch, and allow yourself extra time. Have fun and experiment with friends and family to see how they react they're more likely to be forgiving.
Try funny voices and odd tones to learn better control. And keep aiming to ensure that your voice sounds as you prefer it. Part 2. Keep your chin up. Good posture will help you maintain a deep and authoritative voice. Instead of letting your head fall down or to the side while you speak, you should try to keep your head up straight and your chin up. Swallow before speaking. One trick to attain a deeper voice is to do a swallowing motion just before you speak. Imagine you are swallowing something and then say the words.
Your voice should be slightly lower than usual. Speak slowly. Try speaking slower than usual.
