How to make your voice sound more masculine. What types of voice timbres exist

Voice inappropriate for gender and age.
Mutational falsetto or puberphonia
- a condition in which men maintain a high female voice even after adolescence. People with this disease, even in adulthood, speak in a high voice, which happens in little boys.
1. Functional factor
In most cases, functional factors arise due to any psychological problems. It often happens that when a voice begins to change in adolescence, a person on a subconscious level experiences opposition to a low tone, and specifically begins to speak in a high voice.
2. Organic factor
Organic abnormalities are usually caused by damage to the mucous membrane of the vocal folds, such as scarring, or developmental disorders of the endocrine system. In such cases, the larynx has a structure similar to that of a woman.
Symptoms of puberphonia
If, with a normal structure of the larynx, only a high voice comes out, and the frequency of the voice coincides with the frequency of the female voice, this indicates puberphonia. In this case, the voice quickly gets tired, and during singing it often breaks and higher notes are “not taken”.
Also, with puberphonia, the tone of the voice is constantly high, it is impossible to speak in a low tone.
If puberphonia is caused by organic changes, the appearance of scarring of the mucous membrane of the vocal folds, or disturbances in the development of the larynx, then hoarseness, a weak or rough high voice, which comes out with the air, is noted.
Diagnosis of puberphonia
If puberphonia is caused by a functional factor, a fibrolaryngoscope and laryngeal stroboscopy will reveal normal vocal folds. During sound production, excessive tension of the external muscles of the larynx can be noted.
With organic puberphonia, damage to the mucous membrane of the vocal folds or a violation of the development of the larynx are observed.
Treatment of puberphonia
Treatment of functional puberphonia is possible with voice training, but it will take a long time. Recently, the method of introducing Botox into the muscles of the larynx responsible for the high tone has been used. Thus, the tone is lowered, and then, in the course of training with a phoniator, a way of voice formation is formed so that it becomes a habit. Foniator exercises carried out after Botox injection significantly shorten the treatment period, and the voice recovers faster.
Organic puberphonia may require percutaneous injection laryngoplasty,
Another secret of female charm and charm - woman's voice. It can be sonorous, sexy, thin, breathy, gentle, but never hoarse, smoky, shrill, deaf, or grouchy. It may be different, but it must be natural, because it is yours.
The voice of any person - male or female - is not only our means of communicating with people, the disclosure of our creativity but the voice is also linked to our sexuality. Can we control our sexuality and our voice?
Through the voice, a woman expresses the power of love. If she often swears, swears, she destroys the harmony in herself and around herself. In a conversation with a man, it is better for a woman to speak in a quiet, soft, calm voice. Such a female voice fascinates men, and evokes romantic dreams and fantasies in them. Negative voice vibrations can destroy a man and your relationship. And it's not about what to say, but how to say it.
Words with voice work wonders. They can inspire a man and move him to exploits. But here you can't do without trust. When a woman loves and trusts a man, her voice sounds very penetrating. And a man understands a woman from a half-word, from a half-look, even when she is silent, her facial expressions express all emotions.
The woman enjoys the process of communication. This is her essence. Therefore, long phone calls are so important for a woman.
To reveal her sexuality, her voice, a woman needs to sing. This is not necessarily choral or a cappella singing. A woman can simply hum songs to a child, or hum melodies under her breath. If a woman does not sing and talks little, she blocks her emotions. A very good outburst of emotions occurs at weddings, in companies - even if there is no voice, no one will hear you anyway in the general choir of voices.
But in the old days, women always sang: at weddings, lullabies to their children. The mother's voice affects the child in a special way. If you are talking to him, but he does not listen, then when you start to sing, the child usually falls silent and listens with great attention - this is exactly what happens to me.
And songs can also inspire a man to exploits. It's a pity that not all men can appreciate women's songs. The song is not only the transmission of words by voice. This is the expression of your thoughts. And if the voice comes from the heart, it resounds in the hidden corners of a man. No wonder they say that a word can kill a person, but you can raise it to heaven.
How to speak so that a man hears you? Try talking to a man in a low voice coming from the heart - and he will hear you. A real woman will never stoop to squealing or grumbling.
If you're arguing, yelling at each other, and feeling like you're on the verge of a breakdown, try this: stop, breathe in three times, and say the phrase in a low, quiet voice. The reaction will be stunning. You can forget about the quarrel.
There is another little trick - nothing has such a magical effect on men as a whisper. It makes a woman seductive and allows you to approach a man, touch his cheek or ear. It will not leave indifferent any man. Just do not hiss at him, otherwise you can achieve the opposite effect and pass for a witch.
And one more thing: laugh more often. Laughter brings good luck. A laughing woman is nothing more joyful for a man. It's because he amused you (so he thinks)!
Speak sincerely, speak from the heart - you will be heard and you are provided with men.

The feminine voice is soft and melodious, quite even. Unlike men, a woman rarely uses the volume of her voice. Why is the female voice melodious? Because a woman does not speak monotonously, every word sounds at its own height, hence such a melodiousness.
Men often mint out words, they fly away from them, while women pronounce words smoothly, rounding and smoothing sharp corners.
When a woman speaks, her whole body is involved in the conversation. These are the eyes, and the hands, and the head.
What to look for:
If you want to be truly feminine, you need to pay attention to your voice, you must sound feminine.
First, listen to your voice and record yourself on a voice recorder. If you lead a fairly active, masculine lifestyle, then the voice may surprise you unpleasantly. It can be harsh, rough, without a hint of femininity. If you are tired, then it will be dull and lifeless or constrained and constrained.
Don't be discouraged and don't be disappointed. Remember the voice is an instrument, it is tuned and adjusted. You can always add new shades, make it softer, more delicate and of course more feminine.
Try to connect the body, move to the beat of your words, the movement helps to relax, and the voice begins to sound natural, this is especially true for talking on the phone. First, try to say something motionless, and then connect facial expressions and gestures. And you will notice how the voice changes.
Mentally involve your whole body in your speech. Indeed, in the performance of a melody, a musical instrument is involved in the whole, and not just the strings.
Of course, remember about intonation and timbre. Use only gracious and kind words, because each word carries its own energy content.
Never prove your case, do not argue, then your voice will not rise, and your vocal apparatus will not strain.
Singing will help you get rid of stiffness and shyness. Throughout the ages, women have sung. They sang at weddings, sang while doing needlework and household chores and, of course, sang lullabies. You can also start singing. Singing will make the voice more expressive, sonorous and beautiful. And if you don't know how to sing, you just need to start, it is not necessary to sing in public, do it at home alone.
Singing is very good for health. It is believed that only 20% of the sound is emitted into the outer space, while the remaining 80% is absorbed by the body and internal organs, producing a subtle vibrational massage of all organs. Singing uplifts, energizes positive emotions. And most importantly, it helps to relax and cleanse the psyche of negativity.
Be careful what information you convey through your voice to your man- discontent, irritation, hopelessness, or you convey faith, love and gratitude to him. You can speak any words, but the voice will never deceive, but will tell the truth, even the one that you hide.
A man, listening to a woman, fixes not the meaning of the words, but the sound.
A woman puts pressure on a man not physically, but with her voice. The impact is often very strong, even more than the physical impact. We attack and show aggression with the help of voice.
And remember, softness, depth, trust is born in a woman in her chest. It is the chest voice that is called velvet. Try to connect visualization. Imagine a beautiful rose or lily in your chest and start speaking from that flower. Can you imagine in your chest a big heart filled with love and speak from the heart.
And don't forget your posture correct posture the voice becomes full and sonorous.
Separately, I want to say about the mother's voice.
Before the baby is born, he does not see his mother, but only hears. Mom's voice has a hypnotic effect. And mothers need to remember this power that is in the voice. With the help of your voice, you can soothe, relax, support your child at any age.
Scientists have proven that under the influence of mother's native voice in the body of girls, the activity of stress hormones decreases, and the production of oxytocin, the female hormone, increases.
A best language for babies, these are songs and, of course, lullabies.
Every nation has its own lullabies. Songs that soothe and persuade the baby to fall asleep. The lullaby creates a special melody ornament that immerses the child in a state of sleep.
Scientists have proven that birth and separation from the mother have a painful and traumatic effect on the child, and it is the mother’s lullabies that can make this period of “separation” from her less painful. After all, what is interesting is that when a mother sings a lullaby, she adjusts the tempo and rhythm to the tones of her heart. Naturally, this rhythm has a calming and soothing effect on the baby, because he is used to them, being in the womb for 9 months.
A woman who sings songs to her child becomes gentle, calm and feminine. All the necessary qualities turn on by themselves, and the voice becomes soft and gentle.
A woman performs many roles in life, she is a wife, and a mother, and a friend, and an employee, and our voice naturally changes in different situations, femininity must remain unchanged.
Remember this!

word of the expert
While working on the text, we consulted with a voice professional. Meet Natalya Olenchik, Candidate of Medical Sciences, professor, doctor of the highest category, homeopath, ENT specialist at the Institute of Contemporary Art. Before you move on to looking for jokes in this article, Natalya Vladimirovna asked you to read this in all seriousness: Dear readers! This article has collected basic recommendations that can help improve your voice. It remains for me to add that each person is individual and without a personal visit to the doctor it is difficult to say which advice should be taken into account in the first place. Specific example. The text says that smoking causes aseptic inflammation of the vocal folds. However, I happened to work with two patients who smoke a lot for a long time, but their folds remain absolutely healthy, and their voice does not change. Of course we are talking about exceptions, but you need to understand that to one degree or another, each of us is an exception. I would recommend this article as a basic course for working on your own voice. For some this will be enough. For everyone else, after a few months of daily exercises, you need to contact a specialist to draw up a further lesson plan that will be adapted specifically for you. And remember that you can't change your own voice, you can only improve it. Separately, we note that the text is designed for healthy people without chronic diseases and pathologies in the larynx and entire respiratory system. The recommendations do not apply to singers, actors and announcers: people in these professions need special exercises.
If you know that some annoyance can be changed, you try to fix it. The vision began to fall - I went to the optometrist. I didn’t like the body - I bought a fitness subscription. Tired of dragging a translator around with me, I put him back in the storage room and learned twenty languages. Dissatisfaction with our own voice is one of those annoyances that many of us put up with without even trying to fix it. To most, this seems as unlikely as life on Mars or the victory of the Russian national team in figure skating in the World Cup. Actually getting your voice to be the way you like it is not that hard. A little free time, a little patience and a lot of this article are enough. Do you need it? Surely you have met girls fanatically removing freckles; people with minus seven vision who stubbornly refuse to wear glasses, and men combing the scanty mop of remaining hair on the back of their bald heads. But, you must admit, there are many people who incredibly suit glasses, sparkling bald heads and girls with freckles. Why are we? Before you begin to improve your voice, you need to make sure that this is really necessary. We have compiled two lists of reasons that indicate that something needs to be done about your voice. The first list enumerates external causes, emanating from the surrounding reality. The second is your internal. External causes 1. The phrase “Repeat, please” from others you hear not much less often than “Hi!” or "How are you?" At the same time, you are absolutely sure that you speak clearly and loudly enough. “Whether a person will perceive what you say depends on the voice by 30–40%,” says Natalya Olenchik. It is probably because of him that people miss your words. 2. Unexpectedly for yourself, you can start or end a phrase in an unnatural voice: either too high or too low. In especially neglected cases, you, like a troll overeating sausage, squeal. 3. From time to time, honest people fall into your hands who say to your face that your voice does not match your appearance (age, social status, the number of hamburgers you can eat at a time) or is simply disgusting. Local causes Below are the main characteristics of the voice, which is worth working on. Our happiness if this list includes at least one epithet that characterizes the sounds you make, because in this case you will surely read this text to the end! You can mow down from reading only because of illness: in order to appreciate the sound of your own voice, you first need to be healthy (flat feet do not count). █ Too high.
█ Husky.
█ Nasal.
█ Trembling.
█ With hoarseness (rarely slipping "signature" hoarseness is not considered).
█ With shortness of breath.
█ Tense (strained, sharp - as you like). How to speak with your voice Another section that will help you to cherish the hope of the tolerability of your own voice for a while. It's possible you're making the wrong sounds. “People who speak unnaturally are quite common,” the expert says. “Moreover, a person usually does not realize the unnaturalness of his voice, he is used to speaking that way.” To start speaking (singing, screaming, boiling potatoes) with your own voice, you need to go through three steps. Let's take a closer look at three of them.
As we said before chronic diseases and the consequences of injuries do not count. “But even treatable ailments have a noticeable effect on the voice,” Natalya Olenchik encourages you to cure kleptomania. █ Heart disease and/or pulmonary system lead to shortness of breath, make the voice trembling.
█ Diseases nervous system and spine make the voice tense.
█ Mental disorders deprive the voice of emotionality and timbre colors.
█ Diseases of the reproductive system primarily strike at the psyche. And already she, having curbed a weak-willed person, makes the voice be deliberately courageous, which is audible to the naked ear. It’s not worth mentioning a cold and a sore throat separately (it’s better to cure them as soon as possible in order to start testing your voice) - except that our consultant advises not to whisper in case of an inflamed throat and ligaments. “To speak in a whisper, you need to have good speech training, trained vocal folds. To speak in a whisper during illness - even more so. When whispering, the vocal folds do not close and a lot of air passes unvoiced: the muscle fibers of the vocal folds are overstressed. That is, whispering increases tension speech apparatus many times even in comparison with yelling or singing.
█ Speak out loud for 15 minutes. “If during this time discomfort or even pain appears in the larynx, it means that you are speaking in an unnatural voice for yourself. Usually the cause is not so much possible illnesses, but rather improper breathing and habits,” Natalya Olenchik is sure. Bringing out your natural voice is the easiest way empirically trying to talk to correct breathing(about him a little later) and different heights. And that's what. Even if you know exactly where your vocal folds are and are sure that they are not the ones that hurt when you speak, stop rejoicing. “The pain around the folds is directly related to the surrounding muscles. The folds themselves will never hurt, because there are no pain receptors there, ”explains our consultant. █ Try not to smoke for a couple of days. “Cigarette smoke causes aseptic inflammation of the folds,” says Natalya Olenchik. “The voice from this, of course, goes down, but due to the loose closure of the vocal cords, smokers get hoarseness.” Alcohol, by the way, contrary to popular belief, does not have a significant effect on the ligaments. █ The larynx is located at the level of the 4th-6th cervical vertebrae. Considering that you have only seven of them, it is no wonder that, even when healthy, the vertebrae of the cervical spine affect the quality of the voice. “If during a conversation you strain your neck or bend it unsuccessfully, your voice changes, and noticeably,” the expert assures. So relax your neck, keep it straight, put on your hat and take out the trash. 3. Find the key
█ “There are many ways to find exactly your voice, and all of them become very controversial when trying to self-diagnose. Here is one simple and common trick. Believe him or not - you decide. But it’s better to make an appointment with a specialist to find your own voice,” warns Natalya Olenchik. The native pitch of the voice is revealed, in particular, by such an exercise. Close your teeth and lips, dial full lungs of air and exhale evenly with the sound "mmmmmmmm". Since [m] is a consonant sound, you will end up with something between “mmmmmmmm” and “muuuuuuuuu” - as it should be. While making this sound, clasp your throat with your palm, and as high as possible to the chin. Say a long "mmmmmmmm" up and down. Notice the moment when the larynx will vibrate the most (you will feel it with your palm). Most likely, this voice is your real one.
What will you fix:
hoarseness, trembling, hoarseness, tension, you will make the voice lower.
“The vocal folds are made up of special muscles,” says Natalia Olenchik. - These muscles, like all the others, we can train and pump up. The thicker the vocal muscles become, the lower the voice gets. Trained folds close more reliably, which will allow you not only to lower your sound, but also to get rid of the other shortcomings listed above. Faster to fitness for voice! Bonus: you can set up a vocal fold room without leaving your home, without a club card and a change of shoes! █ Talk as much as you can. When you run out of friends who are ready to endure so much chatter, get a deaf-mute cactus that will pretend to listen to you for days on end. █ Think and read, pronouncing each word to yourself and mentally straining your vocal folds (at first, for credibility, you can even move your tongue in your closed mouth). “Voice folds fluctuate constantly, even in sleep,” the expert explains. - They do not rest in a state of rest, but due to a change in the mode of operation. When we are silent, these vibrations practically do not help to pump up muscles. But this can be corrected by starting to pronounce thoughts and texts in the mind.
Breathing exercises
1 . Remember the army, even if you only saw it in nightmares. Hands at the seams! Bend over with your back bent and take a short but noisy breath. The neck should be relaxed. Gently straighten up (but not completely), allowing the air to slowly exit. Bend over again and inhale sharply again. Well, then you know. Repeat everything 8-10 times, take a five-minute break and repeat again (there should be 8 sets of 8-10 breaths in total). After a few days of training, the number of breaths in one approach can be doubled.
2. Stand up straight. And don't slouch! During a smooth inhalation, spread your arms to the sides and lift them up. Hold your hands and breath for a few seconds. Then sharply bend over and exhale with noise (hands down too). Repeat every day 2-3 times.
█ Shout and sing. “Better in the shower or toilet. There are good acoustics, and you will have the opportunity to hear yourself,” says Natalia Olenchik. Do not forget to sing long notes: the ability to hold them evenly will make your voice more confident. Put your breath
What will you fix:
nasality, trembling, hoarseness, shortness of breath, tension█ Breathe with diaphragmatic (lower) breathing. “Inhale deeply so that your belly comes forward with each breath. At the same time, the chest and shoulders should remain motionless (many lift them up), our consultant advises. “Speak on your breath.” █ Talk a lot. “Recommendations by some experts to set the breath while reading passages from books do not work well, because they are not related to real speech situations. The exception is people who, by virtue of their profession, have to read texts aloud (actors, presenters, etc.), ”explains Natalia Olenchik and encourages you to speak during classes the way you do it in real life. █ Begin to set your breath by speaking in English. This language treats the voice apparatus much more carefully than Russian, and therefore it will be easier to get used to following the rules. █ Do breathing exercises. “Which one is not so important. You can use the technique of A. N. Strelnikova, ”advises Natalia Olenchik. Here we give a couple of exercises as an example - from them and start.
Work on articulation
What will you fix:
tension
Articulation exercises
1 . Pull forward closed lips, and then spread into a wide smile.
2. Alternately raise and lower your upper and lower lips, showing everyone your teeth.
3. Move your lower jaw back and forth, and then open your mouth wide, as if you decided to measure the distance from the refrigerator to the gas stove.
4 . Stick out your tongue and make figure eights in the air. You can also draw other numbers with your tongue.
5 . Loudly and clearly pronounce the sounds [b], [m], [c] and [p] in turn.
For this, too, there is a special - articulatory - gymnastics. And do not rush to run to pay for the Internet to find a few exercises there. All of them are simpler than the Zhiguli and are aimed at developing the facial muscles, tongue and jaw. Rubbing the face in circular motions with the tips of the fingers, savory yawns with simultaneous attempts to say something intelligible, dangling the tongue and spanking the lips in different ways will be enough. For greater clarity, we give you a few exercises. Well, do you remember everything? No? Then it is better to re-read the article again and be careful. Of course, you can always relax and quickly solve the voice problem surgically. To do this, it is enough to apply with a corresponding request to the ENT department of any medical school. But since operations on the vocal folds are a wildly complicated thing, they can only help you with little things - the removal of singing nodules, fibroids and tumor-like formations. This will get rid of hoarseness in the voice, but, unfortunately, will not make it more courageous (that is, lower in sound). Oh yes, even with the help of the operation, you can make your voice much thinner and higher. But this, it seems to us, will hardly interest you.
A low timbre of voice is usually associated with a man, a high one with a woman. However, until recently, it was believed that the representatives of the stronger sex are more "greedy" for low female voices - they say, they seem more sexual. However, specific Scientific research prove the opposite: after all, men find ladies with high voices more attractive. Why?
Hormones determine a lot in our appearance and body. So, testosterone is responsible for masculine appearance and behavior, and estrogen is responsible for feminine features. It is an excess of testosterone that makes the voice low, and an excess of estrogen - high. If a man has a high timbre of voice, and a woman has a low one, this may indicate that more hormones of the opposite sex have accumulated in their body than necessary. Thus, if we hear a high voice, we subconsciously associate it with femininity.
Studies conducted by experts at the University of Vienna have shown that men find the voices of women with a beautiful appearance more attractive.
Male volunteers were given voice recordings of 42 female students whose photographs were available to the researchers and asked to choose the sexiest among them. Most of the subjects chose voices that belonged to girls with an attractive appearance, without even seeing their faces.
In most cases, these were faces with symmetrical features, high cheekbones, soft jawlines and full lips. In addition, these girls had a traditional high "female" voice timbre.
Experts believe that a person's appearance depends on the genotype and hormonal status, which also affect the structure of the larynx, vocal cords and nasal cavity. As a rule, feminine appearance correlates with a high voice timbre. And when a man hears such a voice, it subconsciously signals to him that a woman's sexuality is in perfect order, which means that she is suitable for the role of a sexual partner and mother of children.
Doctor Yi Xu from London university college and his colleagues found that people perceive low voices as belonging to larger individuals, while high ones are associated with small body sizes.
Scientists conducted an experiment in which they asked volunteers of both sexes to evaluate voices, the timbres of which were intentionally changed in advance. As a result, men rated as more attractive high-pitched female voices, in which there was a hoarseness and a wide range of sound vibrations. [S-BLOCK]
Experts believe that evolution has influenced our perception of voices. Previous studies have shown that animals often rely on the frequency, timbre, and vibration of the sounds they make to obtain information about other individuals. So, if an individual emits a low growl, this most often means that it is large predator that could pose a threat. And sounds at a high frequency usually indicate small size and lack of danger.
As for people, the high sonorous voice in our minds should belong to a weak, defenseless and most often young girl. If the lady has a low, deep voice, then she may turn out to be a large and, possibly, no longer young person, from whom aggression can theoretically come. Therefore, men subconsciously try to avoid such women.
