How can I make my voice sound deeper? You've probably asked yourself this question because you've heard people say that a deeper voice sounds more attractive, builds trust, and increases influence. Now, while they're not wrong about the benefits of a deeper voice, it's only one piece of the puzzle. Because imagined if I spoke to you at a deep pitch like this for this entire video. Kind of gross, right? What truly commands attention is a voice that is distinct and dynamic. And if you're new here, my name is Vin. I'm a communication skills teacher and last month I recorded a private training for my community and the most requested topic was what are the top three vocal exercises to get that deep dynamic sound vin and I want you to listen closely and apply these as you're watching because if you start applying and doing these three exercises each for just 3 minutes a day within just a few weeks you're going to notice massive improvement with the quality of your voice. What I'm about to share with you now are the top three vocal exercises that I started with when I went on my journey of trying to improve the quality of my voice trying to improve the quality of sound that I can create to sound more interesting to sound more memorable. These were the top three that I did daily. Number one is the siren. The siren is simply just doing sounds that sound like a siren. And you can do this with words or you can do this with sound. The siren technique is essentially you stretching the vocal cords which creates a lot of tension which allows you to achieve high pitch voices and then you release the vocal cords. You can do it with your mouth closed or you can do it with your mouth open. You go up and down, up and down. up and down, mouth closed, mouth open. Two different ways to be able to practice it. You can also do it with words. I'm going to start with a really low voice and then after that I'm going to gradually go to a high voice and then after that, like I said, I'm not going to afraid be afraid to go to the falsetto. I'm going go to the highest pitch as I possibly can. And then after that, I go all the way back down and I go really low. And I go low deep back into the boughels of the chest. And I'm not afraid to sound like Frank Sinatra. And I want to remind you, think of a balloon. a balloon. When you blow it up and then you let the balloon go, it just goes that's a really deep sound, right? And that's what happens when you loosen your vocal cords, you're able to achieve a deeper voice. But then when you stretch the balloon and you you release the air slowly, you get a really high pitch sound. What you're doing there is your tension, relax, tension, relax, tension, relax. What are you doing in that moment? You're strengthening your vocal cords. It's the equivalent of a bicep curl. So the more you do that, the more you strengthen your vocal cords. Go up and down, up and down, up and down. Really explore. When you're practicing, you have to push yourself to go to 150%. Because only 70% of your practice follows through into your everyday speaking voice. Play for a good 3 minutes with sound, mouth open, mouth closed, with words, and just really explore your voice. Now, the next activity I'm going to share with you is lip trills. And lip trills is you doing this And you could just do it with one note, but then play, be creative, play your favorite song. One of my favorite songs I'm singing all the time to my little baby daughter right now, she's one, is See if you can guess what song this is. play with the lip trills at different volumes, different pitches. And what does this do then? Why am I doing this? I think the why behind it is absolutely important. The why is when you're doing lip trills, you're creating vibrations with your lips. You're directing the sound so that it happens around your lips. What is that for? It's for vocal placement. you're learning where to place the voice optimally so that you can create really good sound. Whereas a lot of the times people they're producing their sound from the back of their throat. So some people speak with their voice in the back of their throat. Sometimes people sound really nasely. And when you sound really nasely, that nasal sound like what I'm creating right now is you're resonating your voice too much in your frontal mask, too much in your nose area. One of the reasons why you may like my voice is because I'm placing my voice correctly. And the more you start to do lip trills, the more you start to understand ah vocal placement. You want it to be right here. The vocal placement happens right where your lips are. That's lip trills. Do that for 3 minutes. Before I go over the last vocal exercise, I want you to realize that your voice is an instrument. It is. It's one of the most powerful instruments in the world. And I want you to think of vocal exercises like tuning an actual instrument like this guitar. By the way, side note, this guitar is a gift from one of my best friends and it's signed by four of the five Backstreet Boys. I still need one more signature from Nick Carter. Got to catch them up. If this guitar isn't tuned well, what happens? It sounds terrible. It's just like your voice. If you don't tune your voice with great vocal exercises, you won't produce a highquality sound. The next step is, well, how do you write great music? What I mean by learning how to write great music is how to structure your thoughts as you speak. It's what you say. And if you struggle with not knowing what to say when put on the spot, then you need to learn communication frameworks. I've recorded a free 2-hour training teaching my top communication frameworks. And if you want immediate access to them, all you got to do is click the link in the description or the pin comment below. Okay, let's get back onto the final vocal exercise. And then the last one I'll do for 3 minutes is this is an unusual one. This is you becoming aware of your soft pallet. You've got a region in your mouth called the soft pallet. Some people don't know where it is. Make sure your thumbs are clean. So if I take this thumb here and if I start to put it underneath my teeth, you'll notice there's a really hard spot. That's that's your hard pallet. Uh-huh. And then if you run your thumb back a little bit further, don't gag. So, ah, notice how you start to feel that weird slimy part. When you go back and you start to feel that soft, slimy part, that's your soft pallet. Now, what we're going to learn here is we're going to learn how to open up our soft pallet. Because when you open up your soft pallet, that means you create more room inside your mouth. When there's more room inside your mouth, you're able to create more resonance. And when you've got more resonance, your voice will sound louder. Because I know for many of you as you're watching this, you might be thinking, "Ah, you know, I've got a really quiet voice. I want to learn how to I want to learn how to uh create a stronger sounding voice. I want to have more volume." And my vocal coaches used to say all the time, volume for free, even volume for free. Because the way I used to try to create volume was I'll strain my throat. I get more volume by doing something like this. And then after I speak like that for 30 minutes, my voice feels broken. My throat is just in so much pain. But it's because I'm paying such an expensive price there to create more volume. Whereas you can get volume for free by learning how to lift that soft pallet. And what I want you to imagine is when you walk into a room that's really small and you go, "Hello." The voice doesn't echo. It doesn't travel, does it? But when you walk into a big church that is massive and you go in there and you're like, "Hello, hello, hello, hello." There's incredible reverb and there's this beautiful echo sound bouncing off the walls, moving all over the place. That's because there's a massive room for your voice to travel all around. That's what we're trying to create inside our vocal area. The more space we can create there, instead of being a tiny room, you're being like a big church. So then when you produce sound, when sound travels into that area, now boom, you're creating this beautiful resonance. So the way to lift the soft pallet and build sensitivity to how it feels when it's lifted is to yawn. So think about yawning right now. Okay? So hopefully that's triggered you to yawn. So when you yawn notice your soft pallet just so just yawn. That's you lifting your soft pallet. Now I want you to yawn now and watch especially if you speak quietly and you don't believe you can create a a really loud sound. Trust me your voice is capable of a very loud sound. So, I want you now to yawn, but do the do that. Okay? So, we'll yawn. Watch how loud your voice can get. So, three, two, tickle the feel. Oh, that feels so good. But what that does is hopefully it's just revealed to you that's the level of resonance that you're able to achieve with your voice. That's how loud you can be. And did that strain your throat? Not at all. That's how powerful your instrument is. I hope you're sitting there going, "Oh, damn. I never realized my voice could be so strong and powerful." Often people are speaking with a lowered soft pallet. The way you practice this is build sensitivity to how to lift a soft pallet. So, I would suggest you sit there and yawn for a good 3 minutes and just play with it. Within these three activities that I've just shared with you, siren technique. The more you practice that, the more you strengthen your vocal cords. Number two, lip trills. That's vocal placement. You're going to start placing your voice in the correct place. Number three, yawning. That's going to help you open up your soft pallet to create a stronger and more resonant voice. Volume for free. These three things, practice that daily. Oh, that's going to change your voice. Oh, that's going to completely wildly transform the way you come across every time you
