    People tend to talk louder when excited, so try to remain calm. Try to be more aware of your voice when you're talking and adjust. Practice speaking at a lower volume in general. Ask those close to you to give you gentle reminders when you start getting loud. Speaking more slowly can help.

  • Question
    Can a 14 year old become a bass from baritone?
    Community Answer
    Yes. Start to practice lowering your voice so it would make you sound more confident. When you hit puberty, your voice will become much deeper and you will have great control of it from the practice. The trick is to practice deepening it slowly and often but not too much, or it'll sound forced.

  • Question
    Is it okay if I haven't heard a change in my voice and I am 15?
    Community Answer
    Yes, it will probably occur soon. The key is to maximize your testosterone during this period of change, as the level of free T in the blood during puberty influences your final vocal pitch. Look for guides online about how to maximize it. Basically eat a lot of fat and red meat and sleep a lot and lift heavy weights and think aggressive thoughts.

    The best bet is to talk a little lower than usual. If done for a while, you might turn that into your normal voice. Try experimenting with your voice a little to know the highest you can go and the lowest.

    I'm female and have a medium high voice, but I want a lower voice. What should I do?

    Your voice is likely beautiful just the way it is. You could try the methods listed in the article, such as vocal surgery, coaching, or simply just continuous practice will suffice, but trying to alter your natural voice is hard and may not be worth the effort.
  • Question
    I am male and I have a bit of a high pitched voice. Does that make me unattractive?

    Community Answer
    No, although some females find a lower pitched voice very attractive, there are many females who also prefer high-pitched voices in men or learn to adapt to it. Your voice doesn't interfere with your appearance, nor attractiveness, in most cases. Be sure to put confidence in your voice, and it will take you a long way!
  • Question
    Will I be a bass when I am older if my lowest note is f#2 and I am a preteen?
    Community Answer
    It's very possible, seeing as bass voices usually get deeper and richer with age. I went from around baritone (F2 to G2) to a low bass (B1, sometimes Bb1) in about a year. I'm nearly 16.
  • Question
    I am already sixteen and unlike others, my voice is very childish and high-pitched. People always say that most of the times I sound like an anime character. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    Try what's listed in the article, and keep in mind that there are people who may have naturally higher voices. Practice speaking using your chest voice, and remember to not strain your vocal folds, as that can cause damage.
  • Question
    My voice is naturally a little low. I'm a genderfluid biological female. How can I make sure I'm not pushing my vocal cords too low?
    Community Answer
    When it feels like it's difficult to speak in a lower voice, like maybe your vocal cords feel a little tight or strained, you should go a little bit up. I personally am a FtM, and at first it was a little hard to get used to talking in a tone that doesn't hurt.
  • Question
    So I'm afab and I'm a demiboy will this work or should I think about getting T-injections?

    T-injections will likely lower your voice, among other effects. The steps detailed here will work with enough practice regardless of your birth-assigned sex or your gender, so if you don't want HRT, they may be a good way to achieve the same result with your voice.
