Voice

Apologies if this is in the wrong place.

Do any of you guys have any tips on how I can make my voice deeper without T? It would be great to know how any of you do it.

There are all sorts of Youtube vids where you can hear firsthand tips, tricks, and voice exercises. A few of the guys on these boards have Youtube accounts, so ask around.

I have only one thing to say: DON'T start smoking. The hoarseness provided by the cigs isn't worth the wheezing, shortness of breath, and probable future cancer.

BTW, welcome from one n00b to another.

Don't "force" your voice.
It'll do two things;
Damage your vocal chords, and make you sound comical.
Neither of which is useful.

You can train your voice downwards a little bit, but not a lot.
You can also learn to speak from your chest a bit more and "boom" your voice a little, that helps.

There is more to "voice" than actual tone. There is also speech patterns, word usage, melody and bodylanguage (hand gestures and the like) that are key to passing during "direct" communication.
These things you can study by watching other guys, which can be creepy in person, but if you "study" men in youtube vids (run Jay Leno through it and you can watch a lot of interviews, mano a mano, to study) or movies or just on the news, then you can get a "grasp" on it.

This actually helps alot, I am pre-T and trained myself how to breath and speak differently, instead of my throat, I feel it more in my chest and I actually pass on the phone now pretty much 75 percent of the time. Take lessons from a singer(luckily my life is full of singers) and learn to breathe from your diaphragm.
