The voice is a tool with which a person can achieve a lot. Yes, this is true - it’s not about what you say, but about how you do it. Imagine a person who speaks in a squeaky creaky voice - it is unlikely that he will inspire respect or reverence in you, you will not think that his opinion is really important. Naturally, if you get to know a person more closely, you can make sure that he is different from the idea that they made up about him. However, the first impression is always very strong, and it is not only about the appearance. The pectoral voice is a much more impressive instrument that can give you so much more. Many people mistakenly believe that it is impossible for them to speak if you were not born with him. In fact, you can work on yourself and develop exactly what you would like. In this article you will find the basic exercises and techniques that will allow you to develop your chest voice.
What is that voice?
So, do you want your voice to sound more powerful, influential and generally impressive? If so, then the tall and squeaky version will definitely not suit you, since it does not set people up positively towards you. The pectoral voice is exactly what you need. It sounds deep, echoing, velvety, literally penetrates the interlocutor’s head, tuning him exclusively positively towards you. Accordingly, it is precisely on its acquisition that you need to aim. Many people will immediately ask the question: "How to get a chest voice if it is not?" It turns out that this is possible, so the assumption that a person can live his whole life with only one version of vocal data is erroneous. You can directly influence how your speech will sound. How is this happening? Now you will know about it.
Voice change
In his life, almost everyone, most likely, met a person who would have a pleasant low chest voice. And its sound actually captivates, making you dream that you also had it. But the time has come to stop dreaming and get down to business - in this article you can learn the techniques that will allow you to master the chest voice to perfection. Does this seem impossible? Now you will find out why this is possible.
To do this, it will be easiest for you to compare your body with a musical instrument. Which instrument sounds the most powerful? Big pipe, of course. In most cases, it is the size of the instrument that determines the power of its sound - the same goes for your body. No, this does not mean that the chest voice will be available only to large people - we are talking about the space inside the body that is used in the process of conversation. Simply put, the vast majority of people breathe exceptionally light, without thinking about the muscles that are responsible for their speech. This is the easiest way to talk, and it will be used by you automatically, that is, you won’t even think about the process of sound production itself. However, you can control the process by increasing the amount that your body uses to process air.
Often you can hear about “breathing with your stomach” - this is what is the key to success. Due to this, you can increase the volume of the “instrument”, thereby affecting the sound that you can make during a conversation. Now you have to learn in detail about how to speak in a chest voice. There are several exercises that you should pay special attention to.
Belly breathing
You could already understand that the most important criterion is breathing in the stomach, and not just in the chest. It doesn’t matter if it’s a pectoral female voice or a male voice, the first step should always be one. You need to learn to breathe not from the chest, but from the abdomen. This is not as easy as it sounds, but everyone can learn it. In this case, you will get more control over your vocal data, as well as a greater supply of oxygen, which is useful, for example, when singing, which is why all the singers first learn to breathe in the stomach. However, breathing alone will not be enough - it is also about muscles. How to develop a chest voice? To do this, you have to try hard.
Soft sky
A soft palate is present in everyone - it is located at the base of the throat and most often is in a completely relaxed state, but it strains a little when you start talking. Thoracic voice training will require complete control of the sky. At first glance, this may seem impossible, since straining this muscle seems an impossible task. The reason for this lies in the fact that people speak on the machine, and the soft sky almost never strains more than the required level. To change your voice, you will have to learn to contract this muscle - due to this, the exit from the throat to the mouth will expand, and this will provide you with a deeper and lower sound.
Muscle clamps
As you already understood, a lot in this case depends on the muscles, and the main among them, of course, are the vocal cords. It's time again to compare the human body with a musical instrument. If you have ever played the guitar, you know that the stronger the string is pulled, the higher the sound will be, and if it is relaxed, the sound will be lower. This is exactly what needs to be achieved in the issue of the chest voice - the muscles responsible for the production of sound should be relaxed. You can relax them yourself, but still you will not achieve the desired result. Why? The fact is that in the human body muscle clamps are formed on their own, that is, some muscles are constantly in a state of tension. As a result, even if you try to relax them, nothing will come of it, and your voice will remain high. Now you will find out what can be done with this.
Stretching
The first thing you need to do is stretch. Enough ordinary tilts of the head in all directions, during which muscle tension will subside. If the effect is invisible, you can help yourself with your hand, tilting your head more strongly in one direction or another.
Relaxation
It is also necessary to relax the neck muscles in natural conditions - this can be done in different ways, but the easiest way is to bend forward, relaxing the entire upper body. Your hands and your neck should hang freely, it is imperative to feel that the neck is completely relaxed. To do this, you can periodically shake the body so that the neck does not strain in the process. If you strain the neck muscles, then you are doing everything wrong and you will not be able to achieve the desired effect.
Sound processing
If you try to make a sound in a relaxed state without straining your throat, it will come out clean and low. This is exactly what you need to achieve. Therefore, you must constantly train - find a position in which the muscles of the neck and back will be relaxed and in which it will be most convenient for you. You can use the position from the previous exercise, or you can choose another - for example, lying on the floor. In the process of relaxation, make a lingering low sound, trying to achieve its maximum purity. Make sure that the muscles do not tighten, and then you can gradually master the low chest voice.
