sexy voice when you have a cold

[Smith]

Hey guys,

I caught a cold a few days ago and now my voice is deep and resonance, which I found quite hard to achieve when I don't have a cold!
So I googled online and apparently it might have to do with you using your mouth to control your breathing when you have a stuffy nose, that leads to a deeper noise.
I did a little practice with focusing to let the air out through my throat than my nose, and it seems to make a huge difference. I'll have to try it out again when my cold goes away. Let me know if this helps you develop a lower voice =)

Smith-

Colt and I were chatting about this a while back. I'd just gotten over a bad throat cold that had me speaking an octave lower, and I'd noticed women were being a lot more forward with me with my voice that deep. When I arrived at Colt's, his roommate had the same thing going on I'd just had, and was speaking in a much-lower than ordinary voice, and was saying how he wished he could speak this deep all the time.

I actually started writing a post on, in part, speaking deeper about 2 or 3 weeks ago, and set it aside to write some other things. Hadn't heard this tip on letting air out through the throat; it's good. I've just toyed around with it a bit and seems to work.

One bit I've noticed is that you're always letting air out of your throat while speaking, however when you shift to actively pushing air out of your throat there's a lot more vibration happening in the larynx and your voice drops lower. Only downside seems to be that you run through your breath a lot faster, so can't speak as much on a single breath. More room for pregnant pauses, I suppose

Actually, I notice when I breathe through my nose, my throat feels like it moves up a little bit, and then to speak it has to drop back down. But if you breathe through the mouth it seems to stay in that position.

I wonder if there's any relation to parted lips being sexy, people who've just worked out and are breathing harder / keeping their mouths open seeming sexier. Fun to think about.

Chase,

who said you can't game when you're sick huh?

That I've noticed too. I remember one of my friends told me he breath through his mouth and his voice seems to project and resonate a lot better than most people. However, I know there's evidence that nose breathing is more beneficial than mouth breathing, so the past week I have been trying to inhale through my nose and exhale through my mouth with my lips slightly apart to train myself to actively push air out of my throat. It seems to work well now that my cold is about to go away. On top of that, it may seem like you're doing small sighs with each breath and it helps relax your body as well -> which also helps your voice to be more grounded.

As a matter of fact this is how I talk all the time, I'm not 100% happy w my voice but quit voice classes after making decent progress (due to the time and expense), intending to continue self-experimentation with PC and microphone to record myself.. uhh well have had many other priorities since then, BUT, since I have to speak every day I had to settle on a compromise and do the best I can with what I have learned. I've been concerned I am speaking too adenoidally "Thagk you very buch!", because something in my upper throat / palate seems to switch off when I am really pumping the sound out deeply, and yes it's hard to get out even one complete sentence without running out of air but I just really clench my diaphragm and force it out to support my sentence. It's encouraging to think this might not be bad, haha.

I was wondering something about this as well. When your just sitting there and not talking, is your throat up or down, in the way that you said? When I'm not talking, and I am breathing through my nose, I can do it with either my throat up or down. When it is down and I open my mouth while still breathing, my breath comes out of my mouth. When my throat is up and I open my mouth, my breath comes out of my nose. When I talk, my voice is more resonant when it is down, but if my throat is up when I am not talking (listening) then I need to consciously shift it when I start talking. But when it is down when I am not talking, then it can shift into talking easier.

This video shows you exercises to make your voice deeper. The more air you inhale and the more grounded you are, the deeper your voice will get.
