How to Change Voice

Find an app on your smartphone. Download voice changer apps that allow you to record audio to your phone and play it back with a filter that changes the sound in your voice. There are different apps, some paid, some free.

• Find the Apple App Store iPhone apps, Windows Marketplace if you have a Windows phone, or Google Play if you have Android.

Use computer software. Look for downloadable free text-to-speech software. Once the installation is complete, you can type words into the software’s text input box and press the “Play” option to listen to the recorded audio again.

Use a voice changer. This device can be difficult to find in stores, but you can easily buy it online.

• A mid-range voice changer usually costs from 500 thousand to one million dong.
• Each voice changer may behave differently, so you should check the specifications to see which one to buy. Most of these devices are capable of changing the timbre of your voice in different ways, and many are portable.
• Some devices require you to record first, but others can be used to adjust your voice as you speak, the altered sound being transmitted through a cell phone or other speakers.
• Read the instructions that came with the voice changer carefully for proper use.

Listen to how your voice sounds. If you want to change your voice for a higher or lower sound, start by recording your voice to find a way to process it. Use a voice recorder to record your voice when speaking softly, loudly, and when singing. How would you describe your voice? What do you want to change?

• Do you speak in a nasal voice or in a loud voice?
• Is your voice hard to hear or easy to hear?
• Is your voice clear or audible and even breathing?

Get rid of the habit of pronouncing through your nose. Many people have a voice that can be described as a “nose voice.” Nasal voices are often unnaturally high-pitched because there isn’t enough reverberation to produce bass. The sound in the nasal voice is shrill and indistinct. There are a few changes you can make to get rid of nasal sounds:

• Make sure the airway is clear. If you often have allergies or a blocked nose for some reason, your voice will become muffled and become nasal. Treat your allergies, drink plenty of water, and try to keep your sinuses clear.
• Practice opening your mouth wide when you speak. Lower the jaw and pronounce it low in the mouth instead of in the soft palate.

Do not pronounce from the throat. When correcting high-pitched voices, many people purposely speak from their throats to create an artificially low voice. It will be difficult to adjust the appropriate volume when trying to speak from the back of your throat, which will make your voice sound muffled and difficult to hear. Furthermore, when you try to deepen your voice by speaking from the back of your throat, the vocal cords will become tense, which in turn can cause sore throat and eventually loss of voice. ^[2]

• Do breathing exercises and exercises to strengthen your voice. After a while of practice, you can make better use of your vocal range.

Pronunciation through the “mask” part. To make your voice deeper and fuller, you need to pronounce it through the “mask,” the area that includes both lips and nose. Using the whole “mask” part to speak will give your voice a lower and thicker tone.

• To find out if you’re pronouncing the “mask” part, you can touch your lips and nose while you speak. You will feel the vibration if you use the whole part. ^[3] If you don’t feel the vibration at first, experiment with different sounds until you see the effect, then continue practicing this speech.

Pronunciation from the diaphragm. Taking deep breaths and pronouncing words from the diaphragm is the key to having a full, thick and strong voice. When you breathe deeply, your abdomen will move up and down with each breath instead of your chest. You can practice pronunciation from the diaphragm by drawing in your belly to exhale while speaking. You will notice that your voice sounds louder and clearer when you breathe this way. Breathing exercises that focus on deep breathing will remind you to pronounce the word diaphragm. ^[4]

• Exhale, expelling all the air in the lungs. Once the air is gone, your lungs will automatically inhale deeply to meet the need for air. Notice the feeling in your lungs as you take a deep breath.
• Breathe in comfortably and hold your breath for about 15 seconds before exhaling. Gradually increase the time until you hold your breath for 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 45 seconds, and finally 1 minute. This exercise strengthens the diaphragm.
• Laugh freely, deliberately making a “ha ha ha” sound. Push all the air in your lungs out with laughter, then inhale deeply and quickly.
• Lie on your back, place a book or hard object on your diaphragm. Stretch the body. Pay attention to the movement of the diaphragm, watching the book rise and fall as you breathe. Tighten your stomach as much as you can on an exhale and repeat until your waist automatically contracts and expands with each breath.
• Inhale deeply while standing. Exhale, counting out loud from 1 to 5 in one breath. Repeat this exercise until you can comfortably count from 1 to 10 in one breath.
• Once you get used to it, you’ll be able to pronounce it so that people on the other end of the room can hear it without your voice getting hoarse.

Pitch changes in voice. The human voice is capable of producing sounds over a range of vocal ranges. Speak with a higher or lower tone for a temporary change in tone.

• The change in pitch in the voice is largely due to the cartilage of the larynx. Laryngeal cartilage is a piece of cartilage that can move up and down in the throat when you sing a scale: cho, re, mi, pha, sp, la, si, do . ^[5]
• As the laryngeal cartilage is enhanced, the voice also has a higher pitch and is more like a female voice. As the cartilage of the larynx descends, the sound becomes lower and more like a male voice.
• To speak in a lower voice, do exercises that help relax your throat, like yawning or opening your mouth wide vertically. When you open your mouth to speak, you will find that your voice is rounder, stronger, and deeper.

Vocal cord care. The vocal cords, like the skin, need protection from premature aging. If you put pressure on your vocal cords, your voice will become hoarse, whispery, or raspy. To protect the vocal cords, take the following measures:

• No smoking. The habit of smoking has a great impact on the voice, over time it will lose the volume and pitch of the voice. If you want to maintain a clear and healthy voice, it is best to quit smoking. ^[6]
• Reduce alcohol consumption. Heavy drinking can also cause your voice to age prematurely.
• Breath the clean air. If you live in a polluted area, plant houseplants to purify the air and try to get out of the city to get some fresh air as often as possible.
• Don’t scream too much. If you are a fan of hardcore music or like to scream from time to time, remember that using this type of voice will cause your voice to be strained. Many singers suffer from laryngitis or other diseases of pronunciation due to excessive use of vocal cords.

Check your stress level. When people are tense or surprised, the muscles around the larynx contract and produce a high-pitched voice. If you are constantly worried, nervous and stressed, this high-pitched way of speaking will become your everyday voice. There are several methods of staying calm that you can use to keep your voice full and steady.

• Take a few deep breaths before speaking. In addition to helping you calm down, this move also encourages you to pronounce from your diaphragm, so the sound of your voice will improve.
• Take 10 seconds to think before reacting. If you take the time to focus your thoughts before reacting with suspense or amazement, you’ll have more control over your voice. Think, swallow and speak – you will find your voice comes out more steady and relaxed. ^[7]
