Okay so as many people have posted you can do certain exercises to help try to naturally lower your voice.  Well being as the one thing that usually keeps me from passing is my voice (I'm not on T yet) I'd figure I'd give them a try (I want a deeper voice anyway).  Well I called my friend at work the other day (my number wouldn't show up so he didn't know it was me) and I was talking to him for a couple of minutes and I said something about looking for a song for mine and my sister's birthday and he was like "Oh MY GOSH I didn't even recognize your voice!". Now bear in mind, I talk to him at LEAST once a week so for him to notice was HUGE (and he didn't know about the exercises).  I was so excited when he said that I almost forgot why I initially called him, lol.  He was so happy for me and I was so excited about his compliment, that he didn't even know was a compliment, and I just had to share.

Awesome, Paul.
:]
I'm very happy for you.

What exercises have you been doing? I've heard of some where it's building up muscles in the neck, I'm not sure how well that works.

Stretching my neck, and only 35 minute drive to work and home I listen to some of my favorite artists that have deeper voices and sing along with them and focus on keeping your voice in your throat and not your head.  It takes time though, I've been working on them for a couple of weeks, and not very consistently unfortunately, but apparently it's at least helping a little.

Good luck man!

That is great man!  I also find that trying to speak like Dr. House helps some too.  Odd I know

That's wonderful!  The only thing that drops my voice noticeably is having a sore throat with the flu - not a winning strategy I'm afraid!

That stinks.  As much as I hate colds, I love the deeper voice aspect of it...is that weird? LOL

I'll have to try the neck stretching stuff and make sure I keep on top of it. I have to admit I do sing in my car while I'm driving, which I'm sure looks much more funny to anyone who sees me at red lights.

Lol, that's actually a pretty good idea. I'll have to try that one as well.
