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.

Consider the following scenario: there are two men both equally attractive. One has a voice that is warm, rich and deep. The other man has a voice that is soft, high-pitched, wimpy. Which man do you think women will find more attractive? If you guessed the man with the dynamic voice then you are correct.

But now consider this scenario: there are two men one of whom is physically more attractive than the other. The less attractive man has a voice that is warm, rich, deep; the more attractive guy sounds like a wimp. Which man do you think women will find more attractive? In this case, the answer is definitely the man who has the dynamic speaking voice.

A deep voice captivates women and it speaks volumes about you. It says that you are confident, assured and sexy. Not surprisingly, a deep voice has much to do with a man’s testosterone level, creating something akin to animal magnetism.

So what are you to do if your voice does not display the characteristics that produce animal magnetism?

Why not consider voice training? You have a better voice inside, something I refer to as your ‘real’ speaking voice; however, because you are probably not using your chest cavity to power your sound, you are probably unaware of how deep your voice actually is. Simply put, there are a lot of men in the world who have deep voices but don’t know it.

If you happen to speak with excessive nasality, then your pitch will sound even higher than it is in actuality. What this means is that if you can eliminate the strident nasal sounds, you will discover a deeper voice as well as a sound that is not akin to nails on a blackboard!

99% of the men with whom I have worked have a deeper pitch after training and a good example is Craig. When this young man found his ‘real’ voice, the transformation was incredible. While Craig’s ‘habitual’ voice was not particularly bad or wimpy or weak, his ‘real’ voice was deeper, richer and authoritative.

What results from good voice training is not only a better-sounding speaking voice, but a tremendous improvement in self-esteem and self image. Remember, women are not only attracted to a deep voice, they are attracted to a man who sounds confident.

If you can approach a woman with a voice that exudes both sexuality and confidence, you stand a much greater chance of winning her attention and her interest. The late Barry White had such a voice. Whether he was singing or speaking, it didn’t matter. Women were drawn to his sound.

While you may or may not be the next Barry White, your voice could be reminiscent of Sean Connery, James Earl Jones, Vin Diesel, Peter Coyote, or George Clooney – all great voices, all voices powered by the chest.

Allow your chest to do your talking and plan on animal magnetism to follow!

Waking up in the morning, often you notice something quite pleasant about your voice. Quite commonly it is very relaxed and deep. However, disappointingly, as the day wears on, you may notice your voice begin to go squeaky and high pitched.

Millions of American men have a high pitched voice and many find their voices unpleasant. The vocal chords are a small muscle group that create a raw noise when air is pushed through them. This raw sound is transformed by the mouth and particularly by the tongue, to create words.

Typically, a man with a high pitched voice will report a distinct inability to control the pitch of the voice. This is due to the fact that unnecessary tension is applied to the larynx, creating a strained stressed quality to the voice.

Catching yourself talking, in some instances can be embarrassing and annoying. Particularly, if you are talking to a girl you like. A weak or squeaky voice is not impossible to retrain, and there are ways to force the voice box to become relaxed and loose.

This is the point of such therapies. To create the right environment in the vocal chords, because low crisp tones cannot be achieved if this small muscle group is not loose. Often, tension exists for various reasons. Many believe it is the size of the voice box that is directly responsible for a nice deep voice. However, this is not correct, one can easily look at trans gender patients who can develop a deep manly voice using hormone replacement therapy. So even a female set of vocal chords can produce deep crisp sounds given the right treatment.

This fact proves that voice box size is not responsible for a clear, clean crisp voice timber. The truth is all voice boxes are roughly the same size. It is an absence of tension that creates a deeper voice.

There is a simple exercise you can do right now to demonstrate why a voice in some men is not deep consistently. Stress elements play a large role in voice crispness providing you do not need medical assistance. This simple exercise shows how the voice box is structured.

You can do this right now if you are alone, simply hum a flat tone with your head tilted down with your chin nearly touching your chest, now continue the tone but lift your head right back with your face to the ceiling.

What you will find is when you lift your head high, the pitch changes automatically to a higher pitch. It would be impractical to talk with your jaw tucked into your chest all the time, but this simple exercise demonstrates how the larynx is built and how it works.

The larynx is essentially a muscle group that is formed in such a way to facilitate raw sound when air passes through it. This raw sound is shaped into words by the use of mouth shape and tongue manipulations. It is this raw sound we are interested in changing if we want a deeper and crisper voice.

From the exercise you will notice that despite your best efforts to maintain the same tone, it undeniably changed when you lifted your head, it went to a higher pitch. What actually happened is that your voice box muscles were stretched. When your jaw was at your chin, the voice box was limber, much like winding down a guitar string lower, the pitch changes.

Stress elements in the larynx create that lost control and the tightness in the larynx is what is responsible for your inability to maintain and control a crisp, deep speaking voice.
