Idk if this is common knowledge but I thought it was worth sharing.

I've been trying to make my voice deeper and I just found this video:
I followed the instructions and there are people in my house so I didn't want to just start talking to myself so I can't say how long it lasts but I just said "Okay sooo...." and I barely recognized my voice. This works at least for a second, but according to the video, you can pretty much make it go on indefinitely. Just thought some people might find this helpful.

Be really careful with this stuff. Stop immediately if your throat hurts. You can actually damage your voice.

That's good to know. It made my throat feel a little sore but I thought it was just because I wasn't used to it. Guess I won't be doing it as much as I planned to.

Yeah, I watched this video just a few minutes ago and tried it.  My throat's a little sore now.  Won't be doing that again.  I'll stick to sounding like a pre-pubescent boy for now, at least until my endo finally 'scripts me some T.  *rubs hands together menacingly, like a cartoon villain*

Haha, this is my go-to trick! I think it's 2/3rds in my head, but I've done a few recordings and it does make me feel/sound better. I've got a very female sounding voice (#1 comment: "You sound like Buffy Summers!"), so I'll take what I can get.

You guys have to warm up your voice (like singers do) before trying to force yourself to speak in a deeper register. You shouldn't get a sore throat from that exercise unless you do it for an extended period of time.

Wow, that's so cool. I wish I knew about this pre T! By the way, did you figure this on your own?

Check out Android and iPhone apps Eva M Breathe and Eva M Pitch. This is by a speech therapist. No doubt better for your voice. This looks a bit problematic.
