Millions of men around the world suffer from a light squeaky voice, but very few find a solution to this frustrating condition. Most men who cannot achieve a deep crisp consistent speaking voice fall into two broad groups.

The two groups are ones requiring medical help, the others requiring simple training techniques. It is easy to know which group you are in by asking yourself if your high voice is always high, or are there occasions where the voice can be sustainable, deep and crisp.

Many sufferers report finding that on occasion they wake up in the morning after a particularly restful nights sleep to find a very pleasant deep timber in their chest. This indicates that the voice box is the right size and no surgery would be required, but may simply need to learn a few exercises to achieve the sought after voice crispness.

Some men may be suffering from a lack of testosterone in their system and a course of hormone replacement therapy may resolve the problem permanently or temporarily. This type of problem is easily fixed with a few pills. But you must speak to your doctor and weigh up the side effects. Men that suffer depression typically find that the depression is caused by a lack of testosterone and studies have found a correlation between men with high voices and depression.

Ultimately, if you are suffering from inconsistent high pitched voice, you can resolve it permanently by following a few simple techniques, but you must determine whether you are in the group that do not need medical assistance.

Getting a deeper, crisper timber in your voice can have a positive impact on your life. After all, life is mostly dependent on social interaction, and having a light, thin voice in a man especially, can not only be embarrassing, but socially ineffective, so here are a few tips.

1) Relax, before speaking, make sure you are relaxed. Many people who fail to have a deep crisp voice simply don’t remember to relax and that anxiety is translated into stress elements in the vocal chords. So ideally, you will always remember to think before making any words. This is a small point, because there are several reasons why the voice is strained or high pitched, but it is definitely worth keeping in mind because, even if you say nothing, sometimes it is more powerful than speaking up in a squeaky voice.

2) Eye contact gives you confidence, so always remember to make eye contact when speaking. A lack of confidence socially can lead to awkward sounding voice inflections. When your confidence is high, typically your voice will lower because you feel a greater sense of self control. This comes with good body posture, head up, and of course vocal timber control.

3) Be assertive. Not aggressive, many people confuse assertiveness with aggression. Assertiveness is controlled aggression and it is designed to give you control of your social environment. Showing assertive qualities is not always wise, depending on what the social environment is, however, being assertive approximately 10% of your social time helps allow for confidence to build, others in you and you in yourself.

Some of the best voice coaches will work with the individuals timber and not their elocution or pronunciation. Many people who turn to a voice coach forget the reason why they came to one in the first place. Most men go get some speech therapy to improve the depth and timber of their voice on a consistent basis, but get lost and waste time on elocution lessons. Some even turn to signing lessons to try and develop the much sought after baritone voice.

Millions of men suffer from squeaky voice syndrome. Many report that typically, they may on occasion wake up to find they have a pleasant timber in their voice, but by mid morning it wears off and that strained nasal voice comes back. Many complain of the sensation, of the voice actually coming from their head and not their chest. This high pitch is due to a loss of habitual control and a loss of confidence.

These types of candidates are perfect for a voice coach because they have demonstrated capacity. The fact that their voice “CAN” sound deep and crisp on occasions in the mornings, means that they can be trained to have that voice consistently. Some men have biological reasons for this problem and may need other forms of medical intervention. However, if the experience of waking in the morning occasionally and having that crisp voice then it shows that it is the individuals training that needs help and no medical assistance is required. Some men have resorted to seeing their doctor about getting HRT or hormone replacement therapy and this can be the right course of action for some men who don’t have adequate levels of testosterone in their system.

There are many resources that assist with the depth of the speaking voice. The majority of these require a long and laborious training of the voice, from singing lessons, to hypnosis to speech therapy. All these types of courses require long term training and long term commitment.

The reason why they take so long is because none of these types of tuitional endeavors address the real issue. There is a kind of tangent solution effect happening here. Most men that enquirer about these solutions want one thing. They would like a crisp and deep speaking voice, thats all. They really don’t want singing lessons, nor do they want hypnosis, nor elocution lessons.

However the idea, is if you did any of these types of solutions, you may improve the depth and crispness and timber of your voice. In plain fact, the issue is the vocal chords. Plain and simple, that is what we are dealing with. Most vocal chords are roughly the same size. They are a small muscle group that when strained produce an inferior raw sound when air is passed through them.

This is easily bared out by women that have hormone replacement therapy. If a woman can achieve a deep crisp voice than a man with a squeaky and high pitched voice can do the same. Sure you could take hrt (hormone replacement therapy) but this often has side effects.

The essence of the problem for a man with a squeaky voice is not the size of the voice box. The problem is the quality of the tension. Loosen the tension and you deepen the resulting voice. Looser vocal chords provide a deeper, crisper voice.
