How To Improve Your Speaking Voice
-Don’t forget to breathe.
-Speak at the right volume
-Don’t talk too fast or slow
-Check your pitch.
-Be a little casual
You can make your voice sound fuller if you create more resonating space. You do this by dropping your larynx and raising your soft pallet. To do this you first have to yawn. When you are at the cusp of the yawn you should feel how expanded everything in your throat is. This is the feeling you should be going for. However, your sound may get “pulled back” when you first try this, so you have to remember to keep the sound as forward and nasal as possible. If it feels nasal and you have the proper space then you’ll sound better. Also, read that wiki site. It gives some other basic singing advice that can be applied to speaking.
In terms of smoking, I would say it’s a bad idea but not completely out of the question. Yes… there are a lot of drawbacks (like, the fact that you’ll be smoker) but smoking in itself isn’t that bad for your voice. It’s actually coughing that really fucks you up. If you have smoked for a long time then you can still have a decent voice. Probably the best tenor I know is a heavy smoker.
Your voice will always sound different to you than it will to anyone else. Just as your image on a video camera will always look different. When we establish a self-image of ourselves using a mirror, we’re not actually seeing what everyone else does. Features are reversed, though you don’t look any different to people you know (as this is how they always see you) on film, you will look “different”.
The voice you hear isn’t the voice others hear. My suggestion is no matter what you try to deepen your voice; you may be better off just talking into a recorder and practicing enunciation. Read aloud for 5-10 minutes, then go do something else, come back a couple of hours later and listen to yourself. Make sure the changes (if any) you make in your tone aren’t uncomfortable or cause you to crack and wheeze.
Everyone has things they wish they could change about themselves I guess, and if your thing is your voice… have at it. I just wouldn’t expect to go from Screech to James Earl Jones.
Out of curiosity, at what age did your voice start changing into what it is now? I know lots of people who hit 30 before they got a well rounded tone to their voice. It’s one of those things that matures at an odd rate for some people.
People used to think I was my mom on the phone when I was 19, and at 26 there’s no mistaking it now.
