voice

[bartholomew]

Hi guys

my voice is too feminine. Is there any way of making it deeper?

Lauren Bacall deepened her voice by going to an isolated place (think of the neighbours!) and screaming...and screaming..and screaming.Must have damaged her vocal chords, I guess.

I wouldnt worry at all - you are probably the only person aware of it.We all have our crosses to bear be grateful that is all you have - (in your own mind).

Daresay if you were to go to your GP there would be medication to alter your testatorone - but do you really want to go there?

If its not as high as Joe Pasquale's (spelling) voice, you've got nothing to worry about, and his wife thinks he's all man.

Possibly not, although improving your breathing technique might help as voice pitch seems to go higher when one is anxious or nervous. Singing in a choir might also help in terms controlling breathing and voice output. I believe Margaret Thatcher was taught by a voice coach to speak more slowly and less stridently as a means of lowering her pitch so if it's of real concern to you a voice coach or drama teacher might be able to help you.

Take up smoking, 20+ a day should, in time, give you a more 'husky' voice. It obviously works for Mariella Frostrupp.
