Key Wellness Strategies, Self-Care Techniques, and Productivity Tips for Getting a Deeper Voice

  1. Diaphragm Breathing
    • Avoid shallow breathing where shoulders move up and down.
    • Breathe deeply from the diaphragm so the stomach expands, not the shoulders.
    • This technique reduces vocal strain and creates a resonant, deeper voice.
    • Most important foundational exercise for voice deepening.
  2. Hydration
    • Drink plenty of water to keep vocal cords hydrated and flexible.
    • Dehydration causes vocal cords to shrink, leading to a thin, squeaky voice.
    • Keep a 2-3 liter water bottle at your desk and refill twice daily.
    • Drink about 1 liter of water an hour before speaking engagements or dates.
  3. Down Talking (Lowering Sentence Endings)
    • End sentences on a lower pitch to sound more commanding and deeper.
    • This vocal trick makes the voice appear naturally deeper and more authoritative.
    • Used by many actors and public speakers.
  4. Avoid Monotony, but Use Controlled Tone
    • Monotone voice (one pitch regardless of emotion) sounds mature and collected.
    • Helps reduce nervous energy and enhances perceived vocal depth.
  5. Nose-Holding Exercise
    • Practice speaking while holding your nose closed to minimize nasal sounds.
    • Aim to keep voice quality consistent with and without nose closed.
    • Helps control nasal resonance and strengthens vocal projection.
  6. Humming or Om Chanting with Variations
    • Chant “Om” moving from the lowest to highest octave smoothly without breaks.
    • Builds muscle memory for vocal cords and improves control over vocal frequency.
    • Clears throat and relaxes vocal cords.
  7. Bubble Blowing Exercise (Using Water Glass)
    • Blow steady bubbles into a glass of water to restrict airflow and improve breath control.
    • This reduces vocal strain and strengthens breath support for voice projection.
    • Recommended 2-3 times a day, especially if voice cracks.
  8. Avoid Filler Words and Improve Vocabulary
    • Stop using fillers like “um,” “like,” and “you know.”
    • Build vocabulary to sound more articulate and confident.
    • Practice taking deliberate pauses between sentences for clarity.
  9. Consistent Practice and Vocal Range Expansion
    • Regularly practice exercises to strengthen both lower and higher vocal octaves.
    • Voice maxing is about achieving a good vocal range and natural depth, not just heaviness.
    • Follow a daily routine (suggested in video description) to complete all exercises in about 30 minutes.

— 08:53 — « [laughs] So when you're breathing out through your breath, you're pretty much restricting your air flow. Restricted air flow means you have to blow a steady, consistent stream of air into it so those bubbles keep forming, which can improve your overall breathing control and reduce vocal strain. »
