What is you best advice to deepen voice

I'm pretty sure good liver function correlates with a deep voice. Can't remember the source though.

@William-Shat
Good question. It’s been said before, but simply relaxing breathing deeply and speaking from the chest (or diaphragm as @albion says) instead of the mouth can do wonders. Being constantly aware to do that whenever you speak will, sometimes quickly sometimes gradually but either way definitely, result in improvements.
Same exercise would help women too, in a different way, by making their voices clearer and less strained. -
@William-Shat Unironically start smoking
-
@DkJoe2 that is some knowledge if someone can find proof for it, and find the mechanism of action

@GreekDemiGod were the changes permanent? (From androsterone)

@albion could you elaborate what we're the markers of a bad day

I’m inclined to say they weren’t. As my voice varied on the days I wasn’t taking it. But over a long enough timeline, optimising DHT, or at least avoiding DHT inhibitors, will cause permanent effects.

@GreekDemiGod So sadly, it may have only temporarily changed the vocal tension due to stress reduction

Hey bro the answers you got here are bullshit
check out what vocal coaches prescribe.
more specifically, I recommend "Make Your Voice Heard: An Actor's Guide to Increased Dramatic Range Through Vocal Training"
it goes through a bunch of exercises, if you do them for like a month or longer you will hear a difference. i do them very sporadically and have noticed a huge change. dht etc sure but this is the real direct way, specific training

Raise your testosterone levels.

@ffrench appreciate it

@16charactersitis I have read many times that one should speak from the stomach. (It hasn't helped me much when speaking with friends or in public, it only helped when speaking in isolation.) Is this any different from trying to speak from the chest?
Replying to the second part, I feel that constantly being self-aware can disrupt the verbal recall and fluency of speech. These qualities usually come naturally when one is relaxed or in his flow state. Excessive self awareness might lead to stuttering, overthinking, social anxiety etc . In other words, what I’m trying to convey is: let the unconscious mind take control.

Same general area. Chest is probably more accurate.
The self consciousness will go away the more you practice. For example, have you noticed there are fewer shy old people than young ones? LoL.
And you don’t have to practice all the time, but when you are trying, think of any awkwardness as completely OK. Nothing like vulnerability to make a person more human and relatable. Nobody’s impressed with someone who’s always perfect.
And yes good point. Exactly. What starts as a conscious attempt, with a little time and practice, will eventually become second nature.
