Voice is one of the most important communication tools, through which you can not only pronounce certain words, but also convey many shades with the help of tonality, timbre and intonations. The ability to master your voice one hundred percent is a very useful communication tool.

Step 1
Many people are unhappy with their voice, especially if they hear it on a low-quality recording. In addition, literature and cinema promote a low timbre of voice, which is an indispensable attribute of heroic men and seductive women. To some extent, this association is correct, since a low voice, in the opinion of most people, is indeed more attractive. Researchers argue that a low timbre of the voice indicates the resistance to stress of its owner, and also increases his sexual attractiveness, and this applies to both sexes.
Step 2
Of course, the most radical measure for lowering the tone is surgery to change the vocal cords, but except in very unusual cases, it is better to do without such extreme measures. You can easily lower the timbre of your own voice just through daily practice and exercise. First you need to understand exactly how your vocal apparatus works, which muscles are involved in pronouncing sounds, how the tonality of the voice depends on breathing and body position. Try saying the same phrase with different postures in front of the mirror, so you can find the best option. By the way, in many theater schools there are courses on stage speech, where they teach people who want to learn how to control their voice.
Step 3
However, even without special courses, it is possible to train the vocal cords and the articulation apparatus. For example, try reading the same phrase from a book or article, gradually lowering the tone until you feel uncomfortable. So you can understand which parts of the body are involved in this. It is also necessary to train the lips and tongue. Try to relax before lowering the tone. Do not drink cold drinks before exercising: this can cause a throat spasm - it is better to drink warm water or tea to relax the throat muscles.
Step 4
There are several tricks that are guaranteed to lower the timbre of the voice:
- breathe through your nose;
- breathe with your chest, not the diaphragm;
- breathe smoothly and calmly;
- speak a little slower than usual;
- keep the correct posture.
