RE: Getting a deeper voice?
Sleep with the fan on full blast and smoke blunts? Those will both have you coughing and make your voice deeper. Try not to talk fast. I notice my voice sounds a little higher when I'm excitied and trying to spit words out compared when I take it easy.

RE: Getting a deeper voice?
Why is it terrible advice? It works. I tried it last night on my way home from work and had a deeper voice for the rest of the evening.
Market traders, soldiers etc spend all day shouting loud so it's not like it kills you.
As I mentioned I've got mates who go to football every week shouting at the top of their lungs and have done for 30 years, they are doing ok.
You might not want to do it everyday but can do it before a date or before going out for example.
It works, instantly.

RE: Getting a deeper voice?
This thread is absolute garbage. The pitch of your voice is determined by the size of your voice box which ends its growth in puberty. You can have all the testosterone you want in your twenties, thirties but your voice will stay the same, you would really have to substitute testosterone for it to deepen, hitting the gym won't cut it. I know many guys with noticeable masculine features who don't have deep voices btw.
You can obviously train yourself to speak with a deeper voice...I find it tiring after a while and I can only keep it up for a certain period of time.

RE: Getting a deeper voice?
Lol. It only took you three sentences until you contradicted yourself.
It's like putting on muscle. Is there a biological limit to how much muscle you can put on? Yes. Has someone who's never lifted weights at that limit? Probably not. Is your voice optimal when you've never tried to alter it? Probably not. Has there ever been an athlete who wouldn't benefit from coaching and analyzing his own technique?

RE: Getting a deeper voice?
You can obviously train your voice like singers or actors do, but to my knowledge you cannot significantly alter your pitch range for good. There are no muscles to train here, pitch depends on the length of your vocal cords which in turn depends on the size of your larynx. You can train the use of your lower registers but that's not the same as "lowering your pitch". And when you improve the use of your lower registers, you still need to make an effort each and every time you speak. That's ok when approaching a girl for the first time or giving a speech, but doing that 24/7 is something different.

RE: Getting a deeper voice?
Question/comment: I have a naturally deep voice and find that it actually makes it more difficult to communicate in a variety of situations. I'm also tall so in crowded bars/clubs my deep voice and distance from ears of most girls I speak to actually seems to make it more difficult rather than less. My friends with higher pitched voices often talk more than me. For some reason I feel like it takes extra enunciation for me to communicate as easily due to having a deep voice. So I guess some girls find deep voices sexy/manly but I think without proper speech training (which I haven't had) it can actually be a disadvantage. Anyone else experience this?

RE: Getting a deeper voice?
You are very correct. If there's too much base in your voice, some words sound muffled. Enunciation will take precedence. I had this happen to me for YEARS. Until I started consciously enunciating cause I hated people always saying "What?" "Pardon?" Sometimes I talked so slow people would fall asleep on me. :s

RE: Getting a deeper voice?
Why would you want a deeper voice? Also, I will point out, taking roids will actually effect your voice. Don't know the exact process, but it'll make your voice less deep. Could be muscles in the neck get bigger constricting the larnyx or something.
Either way, just keep on being you. When you're having sex I'm pretty sure it's more grunts than full blown conversations anyway.
Isn't part of the approach as little talking as possible?

RE: Getting a deeper voice?
You have to speak from lower in your throat. I don't know how else to explain it but let your throat muscles be very relaxed, listen to some barry white I can't get enough of your love and try to follow along/ sing along in a deep voice like he does. Don't speak through your nose either. If you are doing it right, when you place your hand over your throat you will feel a vibration near your adams apple, when you speak high pitch or sing high pitch it doesn't exist, no vibration can be felt. Worst case scenario take a singing lesson and say you want to learn how to sing low notes, then just speak in that tone all the time and it will become like second nature. The one down side of having deep voice is people assume you are twice your age over the phone.

RE: Getting a deeper voice?
Does it sound like you have a cold, all the time? Not the super-nasally voice, but the opposite - you may have hyponasality - medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/hyponasality . A *lot* of deep-voiced men are like you describe. The problem is a lack of nasal resonance. My understanding is probably not anatomically correct, but basically, you have to learn to produce more sound from your nasal passages.
The pitch of your voice is highly subject to your environment. You learn how to speak from the people around you. Compare women of different countries, with different native tongues, and you will find great variation in pitch, and it can't all be attributed to genetics. The famous book on body language said that in America, women's vocal pitch has gotten lower over the years. What people call 'natural' is just whatever you're used to.
