Have you ever asked,”How can I deepen my voice?” You are not alone. Many people would like to have a rich, deep voice. Did you know that whether or not people listen to you and get your message when you speak,is determined largely by the quality and pitch of your voice?

I had a teacher in high school who stood about five feet tall and was probably 35 years old. He was an un assuming man with no outstanding physical traits. The first time he opened his mouth and spoke, I was blown away. His voice was so deep and rich that it was amazing that it was coming from this small man. He was able to capture the attention of every one in the class-especially the females who hung on his every word.

I heard many comments throughout the rest of the day…”Wow, can you believe the sexy voice of Mr.Robinette?” In following days I noticed the almost hypnotic effect of Mr. Robinnette’s voice on his students. There was such an air of authority and believability about his lectures simply because of his voice. What a contrast to some other teachers who put us to sleep with their droning monologues.

Have you ever formed opinions of someone as to their size and shape, and whether or not they were attractive based solely on impressions from their voice? You may have had occasions where you spoke to someone a number of times by phone before you actually met them in person. When you met them for the first time, you were amazed at the difference between the actual person and your phone induced image of that person.

It is a fact that a major part of the package that comprises you, is how you sound. Having a deep, rich voice can push your popularity numbers up. If you don’t already have a deep voice. You can get one more easily than you might think. You vocal chords are just basically muscle fibers that vibrate when you push air through them. You can train your vocal chords just like any other part of your body if you know the proper methods.

There are things you can do to deepen and enhance the richness of your voice:

Practice relaxing the throat and jaws and neck area.. Remember that the vocal chords respond to tension just like any muscle in the body. Tighter tension equals higher pitch. Keep your head in a level, neutral position when you talk.

Tilting the head up tightens the vocal chords. Practice deep breathing several times a day. Breathe in for a count of 4. Hold for a count of 4.Breathe out for a count of 4.Hold for a count or 4. Repeat.
