Have you ever wanted to speak in a velvety and deep voice? Most radio presenters, public speakers and dubs use this voice professionally because it not only attracts attention, but also offers easy direction (for example, the voice of God in films and commercials). And, if you are a man, then perhaps you will like the fact that some women subconsciously consider men with a low voice not only more powerful, but also more attractive, slim and strong. If you have a high pitched voice, or just want to expand your tonal range for theater performance or other purposes, then breathe a sigh of relief because you can do it within your natural ability. Whatever your goal, speaking naturally in a low key is not as difficult as it sounds. Develop your own voice by following the tips below.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Analyze Your Current Voice

  1. 1 Listen to your own voice carefully to understand how you sound at the moment. Being well aware of your voice will help you control the volume and take a qualitative step forward in changing your key. Speak and listen to your voice carefully while standing in front of a mirror, or simply record your voice on a computer, portable recorder, or tape recorder, and then listen to the resulting recording. Some devices will reproduce your voice more faithfully than others, so try to find the best quality voice recorder. Small speakers do not produce deep voice or bass. Also, find a location with the least amount of background noise for a more successful recording.
    • Place your palm behind your ear to help you hear yourself better during the experiment.
    • In private, try to stand 10 centimeters from the corner of the room and start practicing your voice so you get the best acoustics and your ability to hear yourself.
  2. 2 Play around with observing your tone of voice. Do you sound too hollow, deep, high, or squeaky? Maybe you speak in a low enough tone, but not quite as you would like? Of course, you have a chance to impress people in two ways if you speak like a sportscaster, so try to keep your voice and manner of speaking natural.
    • Are you a man or a woman? People with a soprano or high tenor tone will naturally face great difficulty, but don't worry, your goal is achievable, you just need to take a slightly different approach and a little more effort. Listen to the tonality (alto and contralto) of famous Russian actresses such as Talina Pashkova, Tatyana Vasilyeva, or foreign performers such as Cher or Toni Braxton, to expand your understanding of the beauty of this female voice tone.

Method 2 of 4: If you don't grease, you won't go

  1. 1 Relax your throat. When you try to speak in a different key than your natural one, you risk breaking your voice. Try to relax your throat as much as possible so as not to strain your voice at all, otherwise you may sound irritated and nervous.
    • Moisten your larynx and keep it warm with extra saliva and swallowing.
  2. 2 Drink a cup of warm water or tea before starting the practice. Warm drinks can help relax the muscles in your throat and larynx. On the other hand, cold drinks will strain the vocal cords, which will be helpful in producing high pitched vocal tones.
  3. 3 Breathe naturally. Breathe more deeply to fill your lungs and improve breathing control by inhaling with your diaphragm.
    • Your posture is essential to achieving a good voice. Maintaining the correct posture will open up your diaphragm, which will create more room for air to move and improve the quality of your pronunciation. Observe your posture in the mirror to correct it as needed. Monitor your posture as you practice reproducing both natural and low tones.

Method 3 of 4: Low-pitched drill

  1. 1 When speaking, open your mouth to its natural width. Don't squeeze, curl, or fold your lips or cheeks unless you want to make strange noises.
    • Avoid speaking in a palatal or guttural voice, and do not growl or wheeze, as this can harm your voice. If, somehow, unwanted sounds continue to occur, then you may be suffering from some kind of long-term medical condition, such as chronic sore throat, or perhaps you go to football games and discos too often, where you may have lost your voice. In this case, it is best to see a doctor in order to avoid further complications.
    • Avoid making nasal sounds.For example, speaking through your nose can add an unnecessary hum or hum in your voice. Speaking in both chest (low) and nasal (higher) tones takes a lot of work and practice, so you need to decide exactly how you want to sound and spend more time practicing that key.
    • Avoid using sounds that are overly airy, soft, smooth, deep resonant, or echo-like that you can even feel in your chest. Use these tones when you want to completely exclude the nasal sound from your vocal spectrum, which will sound like "boo boo" (male baritone or female contralto).
  2. 2 Enrich the low pitches of your voice and add volumes in the low registers of your vocal range.
    • Buzz deeply out of your throat with your mouth open and pointing the tip of your chin towards your chest.
    • Raise your chin slowly while humming and then start talking while keeping that deep hum in your voice as you speak.
    • Add some nice nasal sound to give your voice a more varied and therefore stronger range.
    • Work on both low and high voice tones, use variations and combinations using different types of your vocal range, so you learn to control your voice and reproduce the key you want. This approach is somewhat reminiscent of singing, but remember, you are not singing, you are just speaking well.
  3. 3 Learn to direct your voice when speaking. Try to speak so that you can hear your voice in front of you. At the same time, you should not hold your stomach. Breathe using the soy diaphragm; you should feel breathing not only from your diaphragm, but even from your upper abdominals, while guiding your lower chest up and away from your body.
    • Speak slowly. Sound each syllable spoken slowly so as not to deliberately start speaking in your previous high pitched voice.

Method 4 of 4: The hardest part is not to set a record, but to keep it

  1. 1 Record your voice with a good microphone. Listen to the resulting recording using high-quality speakers or headphones (with a good bass tone) to hear how you sound. Ask a friend to listen to some recordings and tell if this recording matches your real voice in live communication.
    • Or record someone's voice in a live conversation, and then listen to and make sure that other people's voices are genuinely reflected in the recording. If so, then calmly trust your recording device and keep practicing.
  2. 2 Know when to stop. You should not try to achieve the desired results on the first try with nosebleeds. Give yourself time. First, try lowering your tone of voice just one notch and speak in that tone for a short period of time. Next time, lower the tone a few steps lower and for a longer period. Work every day and remember to do a vocal warm-up before starting practice to avoid pulling or tearing your vocal cords. After a few consecutive workouts, you will begin to see results.
  3. 3 Experiment with your new voice. Work on it. Speak in a low tone over and over. Do not be isolated only on yourself, try to speak in the desired voice with friends and relatives, watch their reaction, and suddenly something, then they will easily forgive and support you. Try to play with your voice and parade the voices of other people in different tones, which will ultimately improve your voice control ability. Keep practicing and striving to achieve the results you want.
    • Be as natural as possible. Don't be annoyed if you don't sound exactly what you would like, even after trying hard.

Tips

  • Try low-pitched phone calls and check in one go if your friends recognize you.
  • Expect to be able to control all of your keys to a certain extent without sounding fake or pretentious. For example, if you are an actor, you may have to make a squeaky voice, speak in a high pitched tone, or even whine when voicing cartoon characters. The ability to change key can come in very handy when doing this.
  • Maintain your sound: not very loud, natural, concentrated, relaxed, chesty with a nasal grain. Excessive nasality requires control and is most often used as a comic effect in movies or cartoons.
  • If you can afford it, take a few lessons from a speech trainer or professional announcer. Check with your teacher about what needs improvement in your voice. If you decide to work with a professional, then do not be afraid of any harsh or offensive comments, because, in most cases, they just want to help you improve your voice as quickly and efficiently as possible.
  • Think well ... Do you really need this low tone? Or do you just want to impress someone? Oh! Does not matter! An attempt is not torture, and even more so, when was the last time you spoke in a low and velvety voice? BUT?

Warnings

  • If you are a tenor, don't try to strain too hard and try to change your natural voice. The tenor's voice is very nice and pleasant, keep it as it is - healthy and strong.
  • Don't strain your vocal cords by pronouncing sounds that are uncomfortable to you, such as squeaking or rattling of your vocal cords. Always remember that it is better to be safe now than to be offended later.
  • Avoid speaking in heavy, harsh tones or harshly coughing or clearing your throat. This approach, over time, can damage your voice.
  • Lemon juice or other acids should not be consumed before or after practice. Your voice cannot be restored after any major damage.
