Find Your Voice Article

After reading the “Find Your Voice” article, it sparked me to research more about deepening my vocal chords.  As a musician, I found that strengthening my voice could benefit how I project my lyrics to my audience.  There is a video on Youtube with Morgan Freeman explaining the techniques he uses to develop his awesome voice for his exceptionally popular documentaries and rolls, such as “Through the Wormhole”, “Conan the Barbarian”, “War of the Worlds”, “The Dark Night”, and even the roll of God in Bruce Almighty.  https://youtu.be/wiE0dYDXcIQ  Morgan Freeman reveals that yawning can make your voice sound deeper and more interesting.  Though yawning might not make your voice as awesome as his own, as Morgan Freeman rightfully brags about in the video, relaxing the vocal chords can lower the frequency of your voice, making your voice more powerful and interesting.  There is another guy in the video that tries to sound like Morgan Freeman but fails, because he is trying to sound more powerful with his voice, making him sound like a fool, instead of yawning and using his voice naturally.  I always thought that my voice sounded strange and higher in pitch on my recordings.  With a deeper voice I can, not only sound as manly and awesome as I am as a person, but affect the tone of my lyrics to create a better portrayal of sound and emotional effect for my audience.
