How to Make Your Voice Sound Deeper

Introduction

  • A deeper voice is often perceived as more attractive, trustworthy, and influential.
  • However, a dynamic and distinct voice is more effective than just a deep voice.

Top Three Vocal Exercises

1. Siren Technique

  • Involves making siren-like sounds with or without words.
  • Purpose: Stretching and releasing vocal cords to create tension and achieve both high and low pitches.
  • Method:
    • Go up and down in pitch, mouth open and closed.
    • Use words, starting from a low voice, moving to a high pitch, and then back down.
    • Imagine a balloon being blown up and released for tension and relaxation.
  • Benefits: Strengthens vocal cords (similar to bicep curls).
  • Practice: Explore your range for 3 minutes, aiming for 150% effort in practice.

2. Lip Trills

  • Producing vibrations with lips, using various notes and songs.
  • Purpose: Vocal placement by directing sound to the lips.
  • Method:
    • Experiment with different pitches and volumes.
    • Avoid resonating too much in the throat or nose.
  • Benefits: Teaches optimal vocal placement for a fuller sound.
  • Practice: Perform for 3 minutes to understand correct vocal placement.

3. Yawning for Soft Palate Awareness

  • Becoming aware of the soft palate to create resonance.
  • Purpose: Create more vocal space inside the mouth.
  • Method:
    • Identify the soft palate by using a clean thumb to find the soft part of the mouth.
    • Lift the soft palate through yawning.
  • Benefits: Increases volume without straining the throat ("volume for free").
  • Practice: Yawn for 3 minutes to learn how to lift the soft palate.

Conclusion

  • Voice is an instrument and can be "tuned" with exercises.
  • Practicing these exercises daily will transform vocal quality and control.
  • The exercises not only deepen the voice but also improve vocal strength and resonance.
