How do I change my voice?

One way or another, people have an idea of how they would like to sound. Sometimes they wish they could sound like someone they imitate in the shower or at karaoke. In other cases, they’d like to sound lower or higher, less nasal or raspy. Maybe they want to sound sexy or trustworthy. Teenagers hope to sound older and aging singers long to get their high notes back. There are a lot of different sounds people imagine their voice can produce in order to help them improve some aspect of their lives. The trouble with focusing on how they want to sound is that people usually end up manipulating the voice and creating functional problems.

There are voice types just as there are body types, and the nature of the voice determines, to a large degree, what is possible.

Every experience a person has lived through also influences the quality of the voice.

An authentic voice will have an utterly unique, distinctive quality. It won’t sound like someone else and that is an ingredient for success.

The best and fastest way to change the voice is to refine its natural function. Instead of wanting a different voice, shift the focus to reveal the innate voice and love it for what it is.
