Hi guys,
Very frequently, I have fluctuations in the depth and power of my voice. Sometimes it has deep resonance and other times it sounds higher and less bassier. I'm definitely not imagining this. I've looked into what the reason for this could be and concluded it could be hormone fluctuations despite the commonly accepted stance that "your voice can't change after puberty".
My theory is that normal/high testosterone levels = relaxed vocal chords. Low testosterone levels = tighter vocal chords.
However, the strange thing is that despite getting excellent quality and quantity of sleep, my voice can still sound higher and less bassier in the morning. Whilst for me there is a clear correlation with the quality and quantity of sleep and my voice depth/power, it's not always the case. As stated before even if I get good quality sleep, my voice can end up less "bassier".
I was frustrated with this voice fluctuation issue and then looked into the Ray Peat forums for anything relevant. I found a thread regarding deepening the voice and one poster said he started taking Vitamin K2 and rubbing salt to warm his hands. This helped him have a deeper voice all day. I then thought, could it be vitamin deficiencies causing these fluctutations. Immediately, i got a cheap multi-vitamin which includes the following vitamins.
Nutrition Information:
Typical Values Per Daily Dose %NRV
Vitamin A 400ug RE 50%
Vitamin D 5ug 100%
Vitamin E 12mg a-TE 100%
Vitamin K 75ug 100%
Vitamin C 80mg 100%
Thiamine 1.1mg 100%
Riboflavin 1.4mg 100%
Niacin 16mg NE 100%
Vitamin B6 1.4mg 100%
Folic Acid 200ug 100%
Vitamin B12 2.5ug 100%
Biotin 50ug 100%
Pantothenic Acid 6mg 100%
The next day (today) after taking the multi-vitamin, I woke up with a deeper, bassier voice and it's remaining throughout the day. I then thought to myself, it's just placebo probably.
Has anyone else had lots of voice depth fluctuations ?
How did you maintain your deeper voice ?
I will monitor how my voice depth is after taking multi-vitamin daily.
