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.
