What is a Deep Resonant Voice?

First of all, we need to understand what is a deep resonant voice. We have heard powerful, amazing background voices from some movies. We love those voices and try to get such a powerful manly voice. I’m sure; that’s why you are here.

Perhaps, you have read many articles, blog posts, books and watched many YouTube videos to know how to get a deep voice. But none of that helps. Am I right?

First, we need to discover the truth behind the deep resonant voice. The deepness / depth of your voice depends on the length and thickness of the vocal cords. Longer and thicker vocal cords produce deeper and powerful voice.

Do you remember Mufasa’s voice in the Lion King movie? The man behind Mufasa’s voice is James Earl Jones. I love that voice. I really do not understand where his voice is coming from. It’s a really wonderful voice. If you want to hear that voice, watch this video.

There is another powerful voice you may have heard. That is Red Pepper’s voice. It’s like a computer generated voice, but it’s real.

After finding out a lot of information on this matter, I came to know that there is no consistent / permanent methodology to get a deep voice. But wait!

There are a number of simple techniques and exercises that can deepen and resonate your voice for a short time. But you can get appreciable results by practicing these exercises for a long time.

Here is something we need to understand before we are going to get a deep resonant voice. We don’t really need a deep resonant voice, all we need is an attractive manly voice.

A deep resonant voice is very attractive and creates an enormous masculine image in the listener’s mind. That’s why we’re trying to get a voice like James Earl Jones and Red Pepper. Also, Vin Diesel and an Indian actor Prabhas have a deep and resonant voice.

But listen to Morgan Freeman’s voice. His voice doesn’t have a robotic touch like Red Pepper’s voice. But it is very attractive, and it is very unique.

What we need is an attractive voice, it must be a unique one. People need to be willing to listen to your voice. Otherwise, if people leave when you start talking, it means that either your speech is not interesting or your voice is not interesting.

We are talking about the second matter, your voice. When a man has a thin high pitched voice, it is difficult to built a good personality. Because, the voice has an amazing power to attract and manipulate people.

In your job, if you have to control a group of people and instruct them to do their job, having a masculine voice is very important. It plays a big role in giving commands. Also, how you control your voice, the strength of the words you speak, the tone and volume of voice and the clearness of your voice are very important parts to pay attention to.

With all this in mind, let’s talk about how to get a deep resonant voice. But you need to practice these tips and tricks daily to get better results.

10 Tips and Tricks to Get a Deep Resonant Voice

01. Practice ‘Aaaaaa’ for Deep Resonant Voice

Open your mouth wide and make an ‘aa’ sound. Continue one ‘aaaa’ sound for as long as you can. But that does not mean you have to do it until you run out of breath. It is enough to continue one ‘aaaa’ sound for 10 to 15 seconds. Do this for at least 20 to 30 minutes and twice a day.

02. Hum ‘Hmm’ and “Mmm”

You can do this at any time; when you are in the bathroom, while driving, while watching TV, surfing internet. Just a simple hum, like ‘Hmm’ and ‘Mmm’. Do this whenever you can.

03. Practice Alphabet

You can pronounce letters to make you voice deeper. You can practice one letter for 10 times. But you can’t simply say ‘A’ ‘B’ ‘C’ like that. You should say it like ‘Aaaa’ ‘Bbbb’ ‘Cccc’. That means, you should hold your sound for a while for each letter.

04. Head Up and Down

At the beginning of this article we talked about what causes a deep voice. That is the length and thickness of your vocal cords. If your vocal cords are hard to vibrate, it produces a deep resonant sound rather than a sharp and loud sound.

So you can try to thicken your vocal cords by doing this simple exercise. If I simply explain you how to do this; look at your ceiling for 10 seconds and look at your toes for 10 seconds. You get it? Do this for 10 to 15 minutes a day.

05. Turn your Head Left and Right

You can do this with step 4. Turn your head and look to the left and to the right. Hold your head on each side for 10 seconds.

06. Abdominal Breathing

Take a deep breath before you speak, but not with your lungs use your belly to do that. This is because when you speak, your stomach can hold a large amount of air and release it. When your voice comes out with a good flow of air, it is much more attractive than when you speak with a lack of air.

07. Speak Naturally and Effortlessly

Some people think that if they tighten their lips or teeth and vocal cords when they speak then the sound will deepen. But it is not true. When you speak or speak with someone, your voice, the words you speak should be clear.

If you speak with some effort, it makes a rough and vague sound. So, do not put any effort to tighten your lips or vocal cords when you speak. Speak in a natural way, because it is your natural voice

If you are going to make your voice rough or husky by doing these things, it can cause damage to your vocal cords.

08. Drink Plenty of Water

Sore throat when doing this exercise and sometimes talking too much. It can cause your voice to change. Also, when the throat hurts, it is difficult to speak. So, drink plenty of water regularly to soothe your throat.

09. Stop Talking in Noisy Places

Speaking in noisy places can also cause damage to your throat. So, avoid talking in noisy places. Also, do not speak loudly.

10. Manage your Voice

Before going to get a deep resonant voice, you need to understand how to manage your voice properly. That means, you need to know how to control the volume, and how to control the strength of the words and the tempo of your sound.

These are very important things when you speak rather than a deep resonant voice. So, learn to manage your voice properly according to the place, situation and things you speak.

Make your voice unique. This means that the listener should be able to identify who you are without looking at your face, just listening to your voice. Don’t try to be like James Earl Jones, Red Pepper, Morgan Freeman or any other person that you like. They are legends, nothing to talk about that. But try to build your own identity.
