A deep voice is an inherently masculine strait, being a symptom of both size and testosterone levels. Deep voices elicit attraction from women and respect from men. I was born a charismatic public speaker but with a typical, merely average pitched voice. I was also born with a perfectionist streak which when met with discovering game and self-improvement meant maximizing all my attributes as best I possibly could, so having a merely average pitch voice was no longer good enough. Unfortunately doing stuff like speaking from your diaphragm will only do so much, and really only make your voice sound fuller and richer rather than actually deeper per se. Since I have no interest in smoking my way to a deeper voice, this is where my exercise came in.

Disclaimers:

1. As far as I am aware it is impossible to permanently deepen your voice. The method I use lasts for roughly a day and a half before my deeper voice fades away and the exercise must be repeated.

2. I've been doing this exercise once a day 3-4 times a week for over 2 years and have never had any problems with or damage done to my voice. No one I've ever shared this exercise to has ever done any damage either. That said, I make no guarantees as to that here, do this exercise at your own risk.

How to Instantly Get a Deeper Voice

Step 1: Tilt your head back as far as you can.
Step 2: Recite the sentence "Bing, Bong. Ding, Dong. King Kong." slowly, stretching/elongating the "ng" sound for each.
Step 3: Repeat step 2 but at a deeper pitch
Step 4: Repeat again, this time at your deepest possible pitch.

Congratulations, you now have a deeper, manlier and sexier voice. At least for the next day or so. Enjoy.

I remember seeing this elsewhere (perhaps Roissy?). I've been meaning to start this for ages, I'm surprised that you say there's been no positive permanent change, but good to hear of no negative effects either. Do you think there might be very small but continuous improvements to your voice from this method that are imperceptible?

[Brisey]

I recently did a course (book and DVD set) from Voice Dynamics to improve my voice. I spoke a bit too fast and as I live in a country where English is not the first language, some had issues with my articulation and volume.

The material began with ensuring you breathe from your diaphragm (I think Soup has covered this in some of his posts) and finding your perfect pitch. There were exercises that you do to feel the resonance in your chest as you speak and then you know you have it. I also had a few Skype video chats with the author of the course for no extra cost. Since I completed it there's a big change between by before and after voice.

I have no clue where it comes from since I found it so long ago. I would've remembered if it was from Roissy though, did a search on his blog and nothing came up. I don't think my voice has changed permanently. If it has, I haven't noticed it personally. However I'm so used to having a deep voice now that I feel odd when I talk without the effects of the exercise, my normal voice doesn't feel quite like my own anymore.

Interesting, thanks for the reply.

So you do this exercise once a day, and you repeat the sentence only 3 times? Sorry if it's a dumb question, just wanna make sure i understand correctly.

Once a day.
But not everyday.
Leave a day between each time you do the entire exercise.
Repeat the phrase three times, but getting deeper every time.

I think that's right.

That's correct. The main reasons I don't do it every day are because 1. my voice is still deeper than normal if I did it the day before 2. if I'm not doing much that day there's just no need for it and 3. sometimes I'll forget to do it during my morning shower. You could do it 7 days a week, it's just I've never tried that so I have no clue what the effects would be.

Remember to do it slowly, hold the "ng" sound in word each for 5-10 seconds. Say it in your normal pitch the 1st time, a deep pitch the 2nd and then your all out maximum deep the 3rd.

A lot of it is mental. Right now, most of you could comfortably do a vocal impression of someone where you dramatically lower your pitch. So you're definitely capable of speaking at a lower pitch. It's just a matter of becoming comfortable with it and accessing your natural voice at that lower pitch.

Try singing songs by men with deeper voices. Frank Sinatra perhaps. This may be why my voice got deeper. I like fly me to the moon, come fly with me, and for a challenge, old man river. Try singing some Negro spirituals.

[Saweeep]

I can't actually believe this works…

It just sounds too ridiculous to be true.

I still tried it…AMAZING!!

I'm skeptical that it's actually doable to fake it till you make it like that, to start speaking in a pitch different to your natural one all the time, without having to consciously think about it.

This is probably technically wrong, but anyhow... The pitch of your voice is determined by where you make the sound - the higher up you make the sound in your throat, the higher the pitch is. To speak at a lower pitch consistently, you must teach yourself naturally to speak from a place lower in your throat.

When I try to simulate how I used to speak, my throat is virtually dead, and all the audio is coming from my mouth. Now, it comes from my throat.

Try larynx exercises. Open your mouth and move your Adam's Apple downwards while taking in air. Focus on making that hole through which air travels in your throat as open as possible. At least when I do it, I sound a little like Darth Vader.

I see it like posture - you must make a concerted effort to change, but real progress is possible.

[Seanchaí]

I'll give this a go, it seems too easy, but I will restrict judgement until I've tried it. I could definitely use this, I've been told I sound like a cartoon character

[el conquistador]

This is great. Thanks for this.

Does anybody have any drills/exercises to improve vocal projection?

[vilevigilant]

Nice, I will definitely use this. Thanks for sharing OP.

[Krusyos]

I think it works, but you sound like a retard when you do it.

[Seanchaí]

I've tried it and it definitely makes my voice sound and feel different. It takes a brave man to make those noises with roommates in the house

Never considered this, I do it during my morning shower so the sound of the fan and the water drowns it out.

[Inspired]

The voice is a muscle. Use it or lose it. But the best way to deepen your voice is to sing. And do it loud and sing high. Do it in the car. Sing along to great rock songs. Your voice will sound rough and deeper.

[peterthephoenix]

It works!!

How did I not think of that, thank you sir. You had to give the cigarette and light it too. I have been putting this into practice and it seems to be working. While talking to a few people lately over the phone they said they assumed I was older

[MikeS]

Haven't tried it as I'm satisfied with the "deepness" (what's the technical term?) of my voice, but venturing slightly off topic I've recently started recording myself speaking and have very quickly been able to improve upon issues like speaking too fast (although moving to another country and still speaking primarily English to other non-native speakers who often aren't fluent like I am, had already helped with that), occasional very light lisping sounds, pauses with too many "... ehrmm"s instead of just silence, and a few other flaws.

So I can definitely recommend recordings of natural speech (not reading from a script, although including a bit of that can't hurt either) as a great method for improving an extremely important communication tool.
I'm gonna start doing video recordings as well to improve facial and body language.

Saw this vid, an interview of a YouTube personality which you may like:

As you can hear, the difference between his 'normal' voice and his character's voice is very different. I almost said his 'natural' voice, but there really is no such thing as your 'natural' voice - there's just the voice you choose to use at any given moment.
