I have been doing all these exercises since 2019, except for the straw exercise, when I discovered the entire category of bass singers and wanted to be able to sing like that, and it hasn't changed my normal speaking tone much, but it has increased my vocal range for singing by a mile, like I can go very deep now, I am a mezzo naturally, but I have extended my range into baritone, almost bass levels, quite effortlessly, while actually preserving my natural range in the high end, and I also feel like my speaking voice is just warmer and cozier now.
As a side note, I have actually noticed my relationship with women in general has improved these past few years, like women seem to have become less argumentative with me, not sure if it's about the voice though, it's just an interesting correlation.

I have a deep voice and you are correct, especially if you don’t speak often, people will listen. I have a disgusting sense of humor, so when they quiet down to listen, it’s always something terrible coming out of my face lmao.

I would love to see this as a 30 or 90 day challenge

Great video, I like how in-depth you went on your routines as you progressed. Couple of things I want to make clear:
-When you "deepen" your voice, it does not necessarily mean the voice itself gets LOWER. It is about relaxing and lowering the position of the larynx to allow it to resonate more and give it that "warmer" sound you referred to later in the video.
-Using diaphragmatic breathing helps you to achieve this relaxed larynx position to sound deeper, but it is also crucial to any other form of vocalization, even when you make higher pitches with your voice, including in raised larynx positions.
-"Strengthening the voice" is a myth. You will not make your voice higher or lower through "exercising" it. Rather what you are doing is strengthening the connection between your voice and mind, allowing you to reach areas of your voice that you could not before. While your voice may gain some strength at the beginning of any vocal practice, it is nothing more than you can expect from a little bit of "newbie gains" and it won't get much stronger from there.
-While the vocal cords are, in fact, a muscle, they do not work in the same way as other muscles in the way they do not respond to "training" in the same way. They will only get so strong, and adding "progressive overload" is likely to lead to vocal damage over time. The vocal cords do not have pain receptors, so unlike any other muscle it is harder to know if you are training too hard and should stop.
Anyways, don't take this too harshly, it was very interesting to see a vocal video on a fitness channel like yours and I did enjoy hearing your perspective on all of this. Keep up the good work!

One way i found how deep is my voice is when i started doing zen meditation + singing the hannya shingyo afterwards. I don't remember how much time it took me, if it was a year or two or just some months, but my voice deepened so much I was surprised.

I think it was related to 1) the anxiety prior to that, 2) cultural habits of the way we breath and talk vary in every country.

I had the same issue with my voice getting higher again after time. I wanted to see real and permanent deepening, and I was able to get insane results with one tried and true strategy. Simply smoke an entire pack of cigarettes everyday, even better if the ensuing sickness causes you to throw up. Scream at your wife until 1. You lose your voice and 2. You lose your wife. Now the pain of losing your wife should let you be able to smoke two packs a day. I've found that the second pack in combination with constantly deepening depression has made my voice extremely low. Hopefully my deep voice will help me find a new wife though..

i usually dont do the straw thing with the water just with it in my mouth but that is probably the best vocal exercise/warmup you can do. As for the deepening challenge, its going to be pretty difficult to change your natural speaking voice. You can move down or up your voices such as chest and head voice but the voice at which you naturally speak with would probably never change

0:02 I don't know who said your voice is high. They are wrong your Voice is of normal pitch for a young male.

The relaxation aspect makes sense when you think about how your voice is usually deeper in the morning, seemingly even deeper after a night of deep and relaxing sleep

The "...but you gotta FOCUS!!!" gets me every time.

[Aylike]

I'm a singer and doing vocal exercises It hasn't really changed my speaking voice. But it taught me how to speak more clearly and with a more richer tone. Just speak slower and speak clearly. you don't need a deep voice to sound attractive

Whenever I think of gym and self improvement content I just see pigmie's video that just got uploaded minutes ago, coincedence it may be but i think this dude be stalking me lol.

As a person with a deep voice, I hardly talked during my childhood years I think quiet people do tend to have deeper voices because we dont use our vocal cords as much then people who speak alot but our voices are also kinda weak so we sometimes mumble and sound rusty. But when I do talk surprisingly people are willing to listen because of how deep my voice is.

As someone who practices metal vocals, going deep isn't that hard anymore, especially when you go and practice open and low false chord techniques, which naturally require you to drop your larynx and breath from your diaphragm, so i just needed to learn to activate my actual vocal chords and then bam, deep voice that sounds actually quite forced, but i think practicing like this would end up making a difference

For diaphragm breathing, definitely don't hit your chest to help. That makes your voice pop, instead of doing that, try to feel where you're breathing with one hand on your chest and one on your belly. If they both puff out around the same amount when you breath, you're diaphragm breathing. If you feel it only in your belly, your voice is too low and it'll be awkward to talk. If you feel it in only your chest, you're "head breathing" or I think you referred to it as throat breathing. This will make your voice higher as you're speaking. So, the perfect spot is right in the middle where you can feel your breathing around the same amount in both your chest and your belly. I have personal experience with this, as I'm in a debate club and learn all of this. Would greatly recommend this when you're speaking, it makes you more confident!

You can also try power poses. They help with confidence, and usually when you're confident you speak more defiantly, which is typically deeper. Try the superman or wonder woman pose for 2-5 minutes before you speak and you'll come across as much more demanding, confident, and you'll seem to have a deeper voice. (This part is mostly psychological.)

Going along with the previous part of this comment, this one is probably pretty obvious, but having great posture (including pelvic posture) will help with confidence and also diaphragm breathing.

Thanks for making the awesome videos you make, especially the challenges! Hope this helps :)
