And a strong, deep voice can make a man seem more confident and authoritative.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the deal. There isn\u2019t much we can do to deepen our voices substantially. \u00a0You\u2019re pretty much stuck with the voice nature gave you. So if you sound like Super Mario (or God bless you, Toad), you\u2019ll probably never sound like Sean Connery. Sorry.<\/p>\n<p>But you know what? That\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to have a rich baritone voice to be successful in love or life. Instead, you just need to make the most of what you\u2019ve got.

Puberty was your magic window to developing that signature Darth Vadar voice.<\/p>\n<p>Remember all that embarrassing voice cracking? That was your vocal cords being exposed to increased amounts of testosterone. As your body went into testosterone overdrive during puberty, the hormone went to work on your vocal cords, causing them to lengthen and thicken. Boys who produced more testosterone during puberty turned into men with thicker and longer vocal cords, and consequently, naturally deeper voices. (Researchers theorize that this, by the way, is why women prefer deeper voices; they signal that a man has more T, which back in primitive times might have meant he was a stronger and more virile protector and provider.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>It can damage your voice. <\/strong>Because men usually want a deeper voice than the one they have, they\u2019ll artificially lower it by projecting their voice from the lower part of their throat. To hear and feel what I mean, speak in the lowest pitch that you can, and pay attention to where you feel the sound\u00a0emanating.<\/p>\n<p>Did you do it? You felt the vibrations primarily in your throat, right?<\/p>\n<p>While you may feel uber-manly talking with that low voice, you\u2019re actually doing damage to your vocal cords. Consistently\u00a0producing sound primarily from your lower throat does some major wear and tear on your vocal cords. If you lose your voice or feel hoarse frequently, it\u2019s probably because you\u2019re speaking with an artificially low pitch.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"amazon-element-wrapper-custom align-right last-count\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-med-image\"><span class=\"amazon-image-wrapper\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/NuNaturals-Formula-Control-Restore-2-Ounce\/dp\/B002B347IK%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAI63WS3YGA3Y5U2QA%26tag%3Dlewrockwell%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB002B347IK\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/415obAY56WL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"amazon-image amazon-image-medium\"\/><\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-title\"><span class=\"appip-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/NuNaturals-Formula-Control-Restore-2-Ounce\/dp\/B002B347IK%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAI63WS3YGA3Y5U2QA%26tag%3Dlewrockwell%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB002B347IK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">NuNaturals Pure Liquid&#8230;<\/a><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-formatted-price\"><span class=\"appip-formatted-price\"><span class=\"appip-label label-formatted-price\">Buy New <\/span>$13.22<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"amazon-element-button\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/aws\/cart\/add.html?AssociateTag=lewrockwell&amp;SubscriptionId=AKIAI63WS3YGA3Y5U2QA&amp;ASIN.1=B002B347IK&amp;Quantity.1=1\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lewrockwell.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/amazon-ad-link-lr\/img\/buy-from-tan.gif\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<\/span>John F. Kennedy had this problem. In everyday conversation, JFK would use his God-given natural pitch. But during debates or speeches, he\u2019d start projecting sound from his lower throat to get that deep, manly, and authoritative voice. The result? Hoarseness and oftentimes voice loss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>No one can understand you. <\/strong>When you speak from your lower throat to get that low pitch, you produce a sound that lacks carrying power. Try speaking with an artificially lowered pitch again. Go as low as you can, but speak as loud as you can. Dimes to donuts you couldn\u2019t get very loud and your voice sounded sort of muffled. I also bet your vocal cords felt a bit strained too.<\/p>\n<p>I remember when I was an insecure 13-year-old, I\u2019d speak with an artificially lower pitch. I thought I sounded like a grown-up, but nobody could understand what I was saying. When I\u2019d talk to people they\u2019d lean their ear towards me and ask me to repeat what I just said. I finally gave up and just started using my normal voice.<\/p>\n<p>Your primary concern when speaking is to communicate. There\u2019s no point in sounding like Barry White if no one understands a word of what you\u2019re saying.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s actually a way you can deepen your voice just a bit (and I mean just a bit) without straining your voice while also maintaining understandability.
