Not only appearance paints the image of a person, but also his voice. After all, the way we speak depends on the characteristics of our psyche and, of course, on our mood.

website I decided to find out how the manner of speaking reflects the characteristics of our personality and correlates with how we are perceived.

Sometimes we all come across people who like to lisp and whose voice is like something out of a cartoon. The person who speaks this way may find it cute, but others associate this manner of speech with duplicity, the desire to please everyone, and even passive aggression. And it also seems that the person needs something from you.

This manner of speech causes great discomfort in the listener, so he strives to end the conversation quickly.

People whose profession involves commanding people often have a steely voice.(teachers, big bosses and military), so they're just used to talking like that. It is also found among those who in life love to give orders and do not tolerate objections.

Usually people have several reasons for speaking quietly:

• They are unsure of themselves and feel uncomfortable in company.
• As children, their parents constantly shushed them: “Be quiet!” They have formed the idea that if they speak loudly, they will disturb someone and seem intrusive.
• They are tired of life, they lack energy, they do not want active action.

It may seem that those who are confident in themselves speak in a raised voice. This is what such people count on - often in this way they hide their insecurities, the fear of being misunderstood and unheard. They want to attract attention and add weight.

There may be several reasons for the interlocutor’s slow speech:

• A person is used to weighing every word so as not to make mistakes. He is, as a rule, a little slow, but serious and thorough.
• He is arrogant and wants to attract attention to his speech. He doesn’t care at all that his interlocutor’s eyes are already sticking together.
• In some cases, slow speech indicates depression, despondency, grief or fatigue.

Most likely, a person who likes to talk quickly is assertive by temperament - choleric or sanguine, he reacts quickly to everything.

• Or it could be that the person is insecure and thinks that others are not interested in listening to him. And he tries to finish the thought faster.
• As is the case with loud talkers, it is believed that chatters grew up in large families and tried to express their entire thoughts before being interrupted by one of their siblings.
• Well, or a person is angry about something, experiencing stress.

Ladies like men who speak in a deep voice, and women with deep voices are considered very attractive. We usually call such voices “velvety” or “volume” - they are really pleasant to the ear and are associated with maturity, authority and stability.

When you feel like a person is trying to seduce you with their voice, they probably are. But to understand this, it is important to evaluate the voice along with body language. In life they play the role of followers, but at the same time they are not averse to manipulating other people.

For example, the ancient Greek orator Demosthenes had a weak voice and spoke extremely indistinctly. His attempts to speak in front of the public ended in failure - his speeches only caused laughter.

But Demosthenes set about correcting the shortcomings of his speech. He eventually became a brilliant speaker and politician who went down in history.

IQ allows you to determine the level of a certain group of mental abilities for logic, abstract thinking, and learning. Scientists say that a high IQ is like being tall in basketball, but to be a great basketball player you need other abilities. However, there are also subjective traits of undeveloped intelligence and emotional immaturity. Here are 15 signs of both intellectual and emotional shortcomings that are extremely difficult to combat.

Interestingly, a high IQ does not necessarily mean that you are smart. It happens that people who do not shine with mental acuity perform excellent IQ tests. The most striking example is George Bush, whose mental abilities were made fun of throughout his 8-year presidential term. There were too many gross mistakes in his actions, and his idiotic statements on various occasions became the talk of the town. Bush took an IQ test and his result was incredibly high - 120! (A score of 100 is normal, 160 is super high, and 70 is low. We can't help but mention Bill Gates - his score of 160 partly explains his success).

If you've ever taken an IQ test, it was probably an Eysenck test (the creator of the IQ test) or one of its many modifications. By today's standards, these tests can be considered outdated and inaccurate, but they have penetrated deeply into various structures (educational and even military), and now they are ubiquitous on the Internet that it is impossible to simply brush them aside. In fact, the average IQ test measures your ability to analyze new information (both using and not using old) relative to your age.

Psychologists remind us that the average IQ test gives not only a very approximate, but also a very average value, because it consists of several subtests, each of which tests different types of thinking. Thus, a person with outstanding abstract thinking and weak verbal reasoning is likely to score only average.

Psychologists have the term “emotional intelligence” (EQ), which includes the ability to hear and understand other people, anticipate their behavior, and control one’s own and others’ emotions. Perhaps personality needs to be assessed by both IQ and EQ levels. For example, Harvard University psychology professor Mr. Howard Gardner introduces the concept of “multiple intelligences.”

There is a joke that high Eysenck test scores do not indicate a person’s intelligence, but only his ability to pass IQ tests well. There is some truth in every joke: IQ scores have nothing to do with practical intelligence or creative abilities.

15. Have difficulty learning new material

One sign of a person with a low IQ is difficulty understanding new or changing familiar concepts. This is a problem, especially given our time, with its rapid development of technology and changing lifestyles. These people not only find it difficult to understand and accept more complex systems and ways of thinking, but even a simple abstraction is accepted with an internal struggle. They also have difficulty with numbers and sequences. They have to overcome significant obstacles when it comes to analytical processing of information.

It is assumed that there are certain barriers for people with low IQ regarding the workings of the mind and the laws of logic. Since IQ tests measure a person's ability to think abstractly, it is this type of test question that seems to cause difficulty. Many of them feel frustrated, this is a constant challenge for them, and they quickly become angry and lash out at others due to their inability to understand abstract categories. Emotionally developed people are more flexible and able to adapt. They leave their comfort zone because they understand that the fear of the new paralyzes and blocks the road to new victories.

14. Poor control of their emotions

Do you know how to control yourself? Some people have an explosive temperament, and flare up at every little thing, which, in fact, does not require such a violent reaction. It's more than just getting off on the wrong foot or feeling frustrated by every challenge. Where does this anger come from? There is often simply no rational explanation. However, a person with low IQ and EQ is constantly in a state of uncontrollable rage, and any seemingly small catalyst can trigger an attack of anger, and for them everything seems quite logical and rational...

Such people tend to have outbursts of rage in public places or any other places where scandals are inappropriate. Don't get us wrong, if the rude lady in front of you at Starbucks in line happens to be having a bad morning, that doesn't mean she's lacking in IQ points...although it very well may mean...

13. They think they have all the answers.

You might think that a know-it-all has a higher IQ than most people, but quite the opposite. There are people who really seem like walking encyclopedias, and there are others who don't really know that much but put on airs like they're the smartest. The latter do not necessarily need facts or logic, sometimes they are simply so full of information that it should alert you: perhaps this is not a very smart person. This has little to do with real intelligence; rather, this is a classic excellent student who is cramming.
People with lower IQs often feel out of place when trying to socialize into society, so they imitate their own perception of an ideal role model, which includes the attitude of always having the answers to everything. They do not have the ability to “read” information about the social environment and understand the hierarchy of a particular group (who is at the top, who is rejected, etc.); they do not know how to recognize the social signals that their interlocutors give, and which, in fact, may be are not at all aware of issues that randomly come up in conversation.

12. Failure to learn from your mistakes

If you are a living person, you make mistakes. It is undeniable that many of us make the same mistakes twice, but there are people who, in principle, do not learn from their mistakes. It's like putting your hand over a fire and getting burned, and continuing to repeat this action every five minutes until it completely self-destructs.

Emotionally developed people do not take mistakes to heart, but they also do not ignore them. They benefit from the experience and are always ready to admit their guilt. While people with low levels of emotional intelligence never apologize for their mistakes and often try to blame others for their mistakes.

11. Inability to understand other people's emotions

Emotional deafness is characteristic of people with low levels of IQ and EQ. At parties and other social situations, they do not understand body language or read signals; their communication is ineffective and they have difficulty understanding what other people are doing and why.
Although there are many smart people who are "socially awkward", they at least know how to avoid conversations or unnecessary interactions with people they are not interested in (FYI, go to a party and sit in the kitchen with the dog all evening , is certainly a wise conscious decision). Emotionally undeveloped people do not see the limitations of social protocol - Professor Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory is a great example.
Emotionally developed people quickly calculate the emotions of others simply by their eyes and gestures, this helps to adjust their behavior and make the right decisions. After all, there is no point, for example, discussing important things with a person immersed in his own problems, or trying to build communication with a completely indifferent interlocutor.

10. Lack of basic social skills

There are skills that help us live day to day, communicate effectively, interact with others, and be able to take care of our basic life needs. People with low levels of emotional and intellectual development will find this short list too difficult and will need help with two or more items on this list, and on a daily basis. They may forget to wash themselves, or don't know how to defrost processed food in the microwave, not to mention more complex cooking tasks. This is not because they find it physically difficult to perform these actions, but because they do not have the mental capacity of the average person. They will have to be reminded of the simplest things if they are unable to remember them on their own. As a rule, such people live under someone's supervision.
Here it is appropriate to recall the phenomenon of modern Japan called “hiki” or “hikikomori” - literally meaning “acute social self-isolation”. This term refers to people who refuse social life, do not have a job and live on dependent relatives. Japan's Ministry of Health defines hikikomori as individuals who refuse to leave their parents' home, isolate themselves from society and family in a separate room for more than six months, and do not have any work or income. Psychologist Tamaki Saito, who coined the term, initially estimated that the number of hikikomori in Japan was just over a million, or about 1% of the country's population. But according to a Japanese government report, there may be many more such people. "The Lost Generation" - that's what they are called Self-isolation, demonstrated by hikikomori, is a common symptom in people suffering from depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder or autism spectrum disorders (this includes Asperger's syndrome and "classical" autism).

9. They live beyond their financial means.

High financial IQ is another subtype of intellectual development indicator.
The Kardashians are used to spending money like it grows on trees, but they have bank accounts that are pretty stacked with cash. And in order to support their extravagant purchases, people with low intellectual levels have to waste money with completely empty bank accounts. Credit and credit, of course, are different. And there are justified expenses. But the desire to possess luxury goods without having the means to do so, and the tendency to get bogged down in endless debts, indicates a clear narrow-mindedness and immaturity.
You need to use a loan carefully, clearly understanding for what purposes you are taking it and how justified these purposes are. And it is imperative to know in advance how you will give it away. But there is a whole army of people who do not understand the obvious: they will have to pay back, and with interest! Incredible, but true: look around, how many people take out loans for expensive cars that they cannot afford, without even having their own home and savings. The inability to plan your budget and getting bogged down in debt is a clear sign of low financial IQ. We hope this isn't about you!

8. They are self-focused.

The navel of the Earth - a familiar situation? Being socially inept not only means that people with low IQs cannot function in a social environment; it also means that they tend to see the world through their own lens. They are unable to look at ideas, opinions through the eyes of someone else. They only care about their own position and point of view. Their selfishness does not arise out of malice, such is their nature, and it is based on their intellectual potential.

Seeing the world through other people's eyes and taking their needs into account requires the ability to perceive abstract concepts, but this is emotionally complex and psychologically difficult. Emotional egoism is characteristic of people who, when perceiving the world and assessing situations, are so fixated exclusively on their own emotions that they think too little about the feelings of others.

7. They don’t take criticism well.

Criticism, of course, varies. And any criticism should be accepted with dignity, humor and absolute calm, and then analyzed - constructive or trolling? And draw your own conclusions - ignore or take note, adjusting your actions. The process described above, oddly enough, is completely beyond the capabilities of an emotionally and intellectually undeveloped person. He can neither analyze criticism for its constructiveness, nor distinguish good advice from simple envious lies.

Lacking effective communication skills and not being able to control himself, a person with a low IQ cannot cope with any criticism. They see it as an attack and a threat, rather than words that give them a chance to grow and develop. Critical analysis is an attack on everything they stand for, or at least that's what they believe. Stubbornness and intransigence are common accompaniments of such immunity to criticism. Such people certainly need help.

6. They blame everyone around them for their own failures.

Very smart people are able to assess probable risks and understand the consequences of their decisions. Less intelligent people will not look for the reasons for their failures in their own miscalculations; finding fault with themselves is not in their selfish nature. Instead, they blame anyone for their failures - parents, spouses, colleagues, and so on.

Self-reflection is a sign of inner work, analysis and the process of self-improvement; it is not for nothing that smart people usually do not consider themselves as such. Success in life largely depends on how a person reacts to failure. People with a growth mindset believe that, even with effort, they can improve everything. As a result, they outperform those with a fixed mindset, even if they have a lower IQ. A high IQ, when faced with adversity, helps to seek solutions to one's problems, unlike people with a low IQ, who begin to wallow in self-pity and lash out at others with blame for their own disasters.

5. Disputants without brakes

Some people are just argumentative, no matter what their IQ level is. There are those types of people who are always on the verge of being offended, they are just waiting to start a debate on any issue. Among them there is a fairly high percentage of people with low IQ levels, because they do not know how to properly evaluate their emotions and do not know when to stop in an argument that becomes too heated.

They are unable to respect opinions different from their own. And they lack the intelligence and delicacy to remain silent in certain situations. Sometimes for them such behavior becomes a tragedy - they simply drive themselves into a corner and doom themselves to isolation. They should ask themselves: what do I want? Be right at all costs and have the last word in an argument? Or I want to be a calm and happy person, able to respect others. But this requires brains and an IQ slightly above average!

4. They don’t know how to plan.

We have already mentioned that new ideas and concepts are difficult for a person with a low IQ to grasp. Not everyone has the ability to plan their affairs. There are a huge number of tasks, they are all diverse and most of them are not related to each other. It is almost impossible to remember everything. Keeping diaries and using various reminders is possible, but it happens that they only confuse the situation more. Especially when it comes to multi-stage tasks. For a person with low IQ and EQ, this is practically unsolvable.

They are simply unable to plan for anything, be it a daily work plan or a long-term event. If you add in the inability to plan finances and immunity to criticism, the result will always be a failed project - no matter whether we are talking about organizing a party or a quarterly report. Any attempt to help or control will be perceived as mistrust and insult. Truly, touchiness is an indicator of weakness! The strong will accept both help and advice.

3. Do not stay in one workplace for a long time

Some employers demand a lot from their employees, while others take a more relaxed approach that requires little to no effort. For someone with a low IQ, both of these options are too difficult to handle. As we have already discussed, they are unable to plan their work, do not understand how to acclimatize to the work environment, and are poorly trained and socialized.

They are tolerated for some time, they may even go through a probationary period, but sooner or later it turns out that the person cannot cope. As a rule, this cycle is equal to a year. So if a person comes to work for you and changes jobs every year, don’t rush to hire him! And, if you look at your work book and see a similar picture in it, then you should think about it. If you have constant rush jobs at work, you constantly live in a situation of lack of time, overwork, and at the same time do not stay away from one job for more than a year - stop and look at the situation from the outside.

2. Can't concentrate

People with low IQ are not prone to abstract thinking, and they will not think of engaging in quality training to expand their skills and develop their mental abilities. They focus on trivial things and much can be said about them based on their primitive hobbies.

We, however, live in a superficial society, and at first glance, a person with a low IQ can sometimes not be identified. If someone chooses to keep up with the Kardashians and doesn't read books or develop their brain, it doesn't necessarily mean they have a low IQ (although sometimes it does). However, if a person constantly interrupts the thoughts of his interlocutor, is unable to formulate a single problem himself and constantly loses his thoughts, this may be due to his intellectual capabilities. It’s easier for him to switch to another topic, closer and more accessible, than to feel like an idiot. You can understand!

1. Lack of maturity

We are not talking about cheaters, this is not about fans of cartoons and video games. It is very important to be able to have fun and remain a child (or just young) at heart. We're not talking about that...rather, we're talking about the general trend towards the infantilization of society, which is especially reflected in people with low intellectual development and emotionally immature people.

Inability to communicate with other people, manage your own affairs, complete discord in your personal life... infantilism means an unwillingness to grow up. The term “infantilism” is used by psychologists to denote the immaturity of the individual, especially emotional and volitional qualities. An adult does not want to make serious decisions, he expects that “somehow everything will resolve itself” and that someone will come and decide everything for him...have you heard of the “Peter Pan syndrome”?
Sometimes a person over 35 behaves like a 9-year-old child. Egoists, who tend to deny everything, do not think about the future, about the consequences of their actions, try to think as little as possible about real life, basically, they have fun and do not try to delve into any problems. Such a person is more a spectator than a participant in his life. Such people love to dream; over time, they begin to look for the reasons for their failures in others. To “get distracted,” a person starts drinking, hanging out at the computer or TV, and... still waiting for everything to be resolved by itself. But this is a dead end, and they will have to grow up from a psychological and emotional point of view.

How to communicate with short people(How To Talk To Short People, How to Talk to Short People, How to Talk to...) is a two-panel comic from the Right/Wrong series that pokes fun at various stereotypes.

Origin

It all started with a comic called How to Talk to Short People. It was published by Imgur user RequiemOfHorror on May 6, 2014. The pictures showed two people. In the first case, a tall man talks to a small man at full height, and this method is the correct one. In the second case, the tall one bends his knees to be at the same level as the interlocutor. The author captioned this picture “No.”

The comic began to be parodied. Users came up with their own ways to talk to short people. Moreover, in many versions the correct method, on the contrary, was comic. Later, other situations began to be used in the meme.

The meme reached the RuNet only in June 2017. They began to actively promote it in public places in the last week of the month.

Meaning

The meme “How to talk to...” or “How to communicate with..” makes fun of various stereotypes. Most often in these comics, the “correct” way means something ironic or immoral.

Voice is of great importance in the work of a salesperson. Probably, many would like to have a bewitching low voice. Some lucky people got such a voice from nature. But this does not mean that the voice cannot be changed. Perhaps many have heard the story about Demosthenes, who had huge problems with speech since childhood. But due to long and hard training, he became one of the famous speakers of ancient Greece. Today we will talk about what a chest voice is and how to train it.

A little history

Scientists have not yet come to a consensus on the origin of human speech. Archaeological finds indicate that people who lived during the Early Paleolithic period already had a developed vocal apparatus, but whether they communicated with each other using words is unknown.

It is quite possible that sound signals were enough for our primitive ancestors to communicate - with the help of the voice it was possible to sound an alarm, ask for help, express anger or joy. And even today, despite tens of thousands of years separating us from people who lived in prehistory, we can communicate with each other without using words. Of course, such communication will be very limited, but even in this way we can convey information and make sure that we are heard.

Voice Characteristics

The human voice has 8 characteristics. These are intonation, diction, resonance, pitch, tone, rhythm, volume and timbre. Each of these characteristics is very important, since each of them directly affects the sound of the voice and how other people perceive it. But the biggest impact on people is timbre.

Voice timbre plays a huge role in communication; it allows you to more clearly express emotions and impressions. Anyone can change the timbre of their voice. Sometimes this happens involuntarily, but in most cases people consciously change their voice coloring. For example, when trying to draw attention to something important, most people speak in a lower tone. This type of voice is called a chest voice; it is somewhat lower than the normal timbre of a person, since the lower vocal cords are involved, and the chest is used as a resonator. The chest voice sounds soft, rich, without sharp sound changes.

What is chest voice

The human vocal apparatus makes it possible to produce sounds of different frequencies due to the presence of head and chest resonators. The head resonators allow you to reproduce clear, sharp sounds with high frequencies. The chest resonator reproduces low sounds, so any person, trying to gently convince his interlocutor of something, automatically begins to speak with low intonation.

Anyone can speak in a chest voice - to make sure of this, just put your hand to your chest and say a few words using your lower ligaments. The chest will begin to vibrate noticeably - it is these low vibrations that give the voice a very recognizable intonation.

Can you use your voice to achieve your goals?

The advantages of a chest voice are obvious - such a timbre sounds more friendly, which means it promotes more constructive communication. This feature of the chest voice is often used for their own purposes by politicians, company executives, sales managers, psychologists, announcers - that is, those people for whom the voice is one of the tools for influencing a specific person or a mass audience.

In business and sales, voice intonation is sometimes crucial, especially if a serious deal is being concluded and you need to appear as convincing as possible. In this case, it makes sense to switch to a lower sound. No one wants to speak in a raised voice - too high a voice timbre indicates uncertainty and a tendency to conflict. On the contrary, a chest voice speaks of friendliness, reliability and the desire to establish good mutually beneficial relationships.

How to speak in a chest voice

To learn to speak in a chest voice, you must first find the most suitable timbre. Too low an intonation will not allow you to give your words the proper coloring. Simply put, the vocal cords simply cannot cope with sounds that are too low and the sound will turn out to be very quiet. Even if a person naturally has a very high voice, this does not mean that he will never be able to add soft and smooth overtones to his timbre. You should not strive to imitate the intonations of professional speakers or announcers - their convincing manner of speaking and velvety voice is not so much the fruit of hard training as an innate quality.

To speak with a chest voice, you need to “speak with your body” and not “speak with your head.” The head resonators should be used to a minimum so that sharp and abrupt sounds do not slip into the intonation. You should try to make the lower ligaments vibrate smoothly, producing a soft, rolling sound. The smoother the vibration, the better the chest voice will sound.

To prevent your voice from sounding hoarse or tense, you need to be moderately relaxed - in no case should you tense up. The absence of stiffness in the muscles of the neck, shoulders and chest will make speech smoother and more pleasant to hear.

Voice timbre and smile

People who have achieved success in business understand the importance of friendly communication. When there is mutual sympathy, it is much easier to achieve mutual understanding. When communicating, people not only talk, they also use facial expressions and gestures. A smile is one of the gestures that speaks of friendliness and willingness to make contact.

We see a smile and immediately interpret it as a sign of joy, fun or friendly attention. But you can also hear a smile. When a smiling person speaks, the timbre of his voice subtly changes, but those around him unmistakably recognize this intonation. Combined with a deep voice, a smile can work wonders.

How to train your chest voice

Any person can speak in a deep chest voice. And if you don’t have a goal to perform on stage, then you can train your chest voice very quickly. It is important to understand that every person is born with an individual voice timbre and cannot be changed. But trained cords are capable of producing more intelligible sounds, so it is always possible to give your timbre the desired richness and velvety.

When starting training, you need to remember that the chest voice is the voice of the body and this resource must be used 100%. The most important rule is to breathe with your stomach at the moment when the lower ligaments are involved. It is also important that low sounds come out freely - speaking in a chest voice while gritting your teeth will not work. This means that you need to try to allow low frequencies to leave the larynx without hindrance. To do this, it is not at all necessary to open your mouth wide, as opera singers do - it is enough just to speak naturally and not clamp down.

Before starting your workout, be sure to do a light warm-up. It is often very difficult to speak in a chest voice because the muscles of the shoulder girdle, neck and chest are too tense. In order for the voice to sound soft, the tension must be removed. To do this, you need to use exercises such as tilting and rotating the head, swinging your arms, and circular movements of your shoulders. Hanging upside down on a bar also effectively relaxes muscles.

The main training includes exercises for producing sound. For this purpose, you can pronounce tongue twisters or read poetry, making sure that your voice sounds moderately low and rich. At the same time, you must remember to maintain your posture and breathe with your stomach.

To train your chest voice, it is enough to practice 2 times a day for 10 minutes. Such training will develop the lower cords and teach you to easily switch to a lower timbre of your voice, giving it a beautiful and smooth sound. If you want to learn about what else a salesperson needs to train, I recommend reading the materials.

How often do we think that it would be very nice if we could make an impression on people from the first contact, somehow influence them. But this does not always work out, if at all. We can start digging into ourselves, looking for dozens of reasons why people don’t think about us the way we would like, and the first impression we make leaves much to be desired. And, oddly enough, we will find these reasons. But is it worth engaging in scrupulous self-analysis, because the reason may lie in the simplest thing - in our voice.

Almost everyone today has heard at least once in their life that having a lower voice is much better than being the owner of a thin, squeaky voice. Fact is fact, but why? Not many people know the answer to this question, let alone how to even lower their voice, if necessary.

Why do you need a low voice?

As a rule, a person with a low voice is intuitively perceived by people around him as someone who has authority, is self-confident, self-sufficient, and is able to stand up for himself and his loved ones. A low voice is a sign of self-control and poise, as well as advance or opponent's sympathy and trust.

The image presented, as well as the sound of a low voice, are always very effective: they work great, for example, when you need to impress a member of the opposite sex, or when you need to quickly win over potential business partners and make them listen to you and trust what you say.

There are also frequent situations when, on the eve of an important speech in public, a conversation with superiors or negotiations, a person realizes that his voice, as they now say, is “inaudible”, or that every now and then it wheezes, twitches, trembles, etc. This is not good, because a high-pitched squeaking voice in no way corresponds to the image of a confident person, a leader and someone who should be listened to and respected. This is another reason why you should learn how to control your vocal cords.

And it is even possible that you are not at all aware that your voice, which seems most pleasant and velvety to you, actually sounds completely different from what you imagine. This can be established by, for example, audio recording. Each person has a different perception, and some may think that their voice sounds lower in the recording, while others may think that their voice is higher. However, both of these sounds are a clear representation of your voice.

The process of voice formation and perception is quite complex. And, for example, professional and speech therapist Nelson Vaughan explains it as follows: when a person listens to his voice, he perceives it only through his ears. He hears the sound waves that propagate inside him through the liquid that fills his internal organs. But sound propagates through air differently than in dense tissue or liquid. And this difference is correlated with almost the entire spectrum of tones perceived by a person. For this reason, people do not hear what we can hear.

And, ultimately, the topic of lowering your voice will be useful to everyone who stutters, no matter: always or during times of stress. Professor and Doctor of Medical Sciences I.A. Sikorsky says in this regard that slow speech in a low voice serves as a preventative for stuttering, and is capable of giving the speaker a tone of self-control, authority and importance.

From all of the above, we can conclude that lowering the voice is extremely useful and effective for almost any person who does not have a deep voice. But how can we lower our voice?

To do this, you need to resort to the following exercises.

Exercises to lower your voice

When talking about exercises to lower the voice, it should be explained that the lower the larynx is, the lower the voice becomes. The striated muscles located in the front of the neck are responsible for the movement of the larynx. And these muscles are quite easy to learn to control with the help of certain exercises. The main condition here is persistence and regularity.

Exercise "Bass Head"

If you pay attention, for example, to a person singing in a bass voice, you will notice that his head is raised high, but at the same time is slightly tilted, as if he is trying to hold some object with his chin or is playing a violin that is visible only to himself. This position engages those muscle groups that pull the larynx in the “down” direction.

Try to do the same, always remembering that the larynx should be directed downward. This rotation, together with its lower position, will lower your voice as much as possible.

Exercise "Yawn"

To perform this exercise, you need to feel the larynx and make a yawn, trying to feel how the larynx descends. This exercise affects every vocal organ: tongue, larynx, soft palate and pharynx.

Exercise “Blast wave”

The exercise begins with a growl on the lowest note. Gradually it should develop into the highest note you can hit, and then in the same way you should descend again to the lowest note you hit at the beginning.

There should be several such approaches. Having warmed up like this, you will immediately feel that your voice seems to have reappeared, its sound has become more expressive and brighter, and it has become easier to speak.

Exercise with the sound “I”

Take the starting position: standing or sitting. Do a downward tilt of your head so that your chin is tucked toward your chest, as in “Bass Head,” and then make the lowest “I” sound. After this, slowly raise your head up as far as it will go, trying to fix the pitch of the sound.

At first, keeping the “I” sound fixed will be problematic, and its pitch will gradually increase as the head rises upward. This is an indication that your ligaments are tight and your larynx is shortening. Perform the exercise several times a day until the pitch of the sound becomes even in any position of the head. Achieving this result can be considered a complete relief of spasm of the vocal cords.

These exercises should be enough, but I would like to give a few more important tips.

Tip one: try to control the pace of your speech as often as possible. Remember that the faster your speech, the more tense your vocal cords are, which means your voice is higher. A person's voice is often compared to a vinyl record - when you slow down its rotation with your hand, the sound becomes lower. And if you deliberately lower your voice tone, your speech will become at least 10% slower.

Tip two: scientists have proven that inhaling through the nose helps lower the voice, because. the flow of air that passes through the nasal passages neutralizes reflexive emotional stress. However, the correct rotation of the larynx and its low position are preserved. So, inhale through your nose.

Tip three: a low voice is very closely related to correct posture. If you are trying to lower your voice, you will simply be forced to work with your spine - your posture should be straight, but not tense. And one more thing: brain activity also depends on the correct position of the spine - this was confirmed using an electroencephalogram. It has been noted that people who have correct posture and a low, deep voice not only create the appearance of their self-sufficiency and confidence - this is exactly how they are in life.

Tip four: everything is banal here - ! Strangely, the voice of a well-rested person is lower. The trick here is that sleep relaxes the vocal apparatus, thereby providing all the benefits of a low voice. So that!

But don’t think that people with high-pitched voices are somehow worse than others. In reality, everything can be different: just as a person with a low voice can experience self-doubt, so a person with a high voice can amaze with their confidence and strength. The voice isn't as important as the substance, isn't it? However, no one has yet canceled subconscious perception.

Remember that you need to develop comprehensively: grow as a person, learn new things, develop self-confidence and, of course, learn to manage yourself, including your vocal cords.
