I'm 22 n black with a 10yo voice and you just save my life 😂🙌🙌💯 thank you
Crazy Folks n black. Look at ur profile pic.

@@gleidonn3735 what's wrong with his profile?
I am 17 , black. My voice sounds like as kid as well for some reason.
@@IamINERT me too 😂😂😂 and yeah I'm also childish and sometimes I don't even realize that I'm already 17
I think my voice stayed this way because I was always afraid of being too loud, and when you add that Edge in, you get louder normally so I avoided that all my life, now I am 19 and I sound like a 9 year old. The thing is will my brain get used to this and convert this to my natural voice, or do I have to keep working hard to get this sound?
EDIT AFTER 3 YEARS:
I am now 22 years old, my voice has stayed the same, but I am in peace with myself now. A LOT of people compliment how smooth and nice my voice is, and that it is different in a good way. Learn to embrace your insecurities people. It gets better.
My voice sounded like a 9 year old, too, until I was about 22 or 23. For me, what worked was trying to find my own sound, and then learning to accept/embrace my voice. Other thing that helps is working on breathing. A person can really add warmth or brightness depending on the breath. Another thing a great singer told me was that to find your real voice, try singing like you're telling somebody off, or really trying to convey something to them. With these three things: embracing your voice, breathing, and not being afraid to let out what you feel will really help (in my opinion). Keep on singing and think about how much fun it is for you...after all, that's the best part!
_Akin same
@s v yeah I'm also 16 & my voice is just like a 9 years old kid, people try to make fun of my always, it's Embarassing.....
Yeah I'm 16 & same problem I also afraid to speak loudly 😣😣 thank u so much to this person 😭🙏
Yea same problem
i am 23 years old women. sometimes i speak other people from microphone(when playing dota). and they are like: 'are you 10 year old boy?'
i was soprano singer at my old choir days. i am not sure, but mine could be the thinnest sound in that choir.
with those advices, i became 15 year old boy. thank you :D
nice video btw.
Just send them your face you are pretty
Hhhhhhhhhh sameee
I have the EXACT same problem. I am 23F and I play Overwatch a lot. I have been told LITERALLY at least 30 times that I sound like a 12-year-old boy. Sometimes, people do recognise that I am a girl but quite rarely. But also in real life, my voice has never "grown up", so I also have problems sounding like a woman when singing.
i swear im just finsh dota 2 match and im tired from people called me baby voice in every game so i went to google to search solution and here im :D
Hahaha same😂
I feel so stupid that I limited myself to a kid's voice for so many years that now my voice actually cracks when I try out the lowering+edge 😭
omg same
Same 😭😭
im gonna asume you are joking?
lmao mayn i guess id need to start practicing talking in this voice from now on
Same 🙂
He low key scared me when he said “here...TO HERE” 😭 at 6:45
i keep repeating it😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and laughing so hard
Lmao.. 😂

Take test cuz it won't change any time soon
@@noman3546 thank u
I'm seventy, yet when I talk to someone on the phone, they think I'm a teenager. It drives me nuts! My voice never changed. For what it's worth, I've never had an "adams apple".
Maybe your voice is just like that
I'm suffering same problem.
Hi Kennet, I am suffering from the same problem,. Please share your experience after doing practice with these exercises. I have just tried for 10 mins and have started feeling pain in the neck. Not sure if I am doing correctly.
@@nitin110377 your voice should get tired cos you were not used to these exercises but the more you practise you'll get used to it and be less tired or feel the pain
I’m 16 and I sound like a crackhead like a child of 9.

alvinkx same ... hang in there😔
alvinkx same:’)
I'm 19 and I sound like a 10 year old girl
BRO SAME I DIDNT KNOW OTHER PPL EXPERIENCE THIS. I thought It wasnt normal Im 15 and I turn 16 In 1 month and my voice has gotten deeper from the past but Its still squeaky and I was thinking that It wasn't normal, and Its probably not normal.
Video starts from 6:16

You are great, I just watched
a video of dude selling a 8 week course for nearly 400 dollars saying that we can all change our voices with long consistent practice, yet you taught me how to do it in 2 minutes.
God bless you sir
My pleasure. Thank YOU for sharing this amazing story.
Somebody : calls me
Me : ( picks up the call) n says "hello"
The person : hey baby where's saleha give her the phone.
Me : 😐😐😐 you're speaking with Saleha already!!
Somebody : calls me
Me:( picks up the call )n says hello
And in my story they thinks I am a child and in worst case they think I am a girl 😣😣
We've all been there
@@AbrarAwan-ke7mc 🥺🥺🥺🍭✨
Felt
When someone calls me
Me : hello
?? : Helloow in a cute way
Me : I'm not a kid 😭😭😭
I have started playing video games during quarantine. I often get asked how old I am. Due to a glitch I could hear my voice and God it sounded like I was 5. I really felt bad.
SAME LMAOOO
When I was 13. I sounded screeching high pitch at mics but okay in real life.
Now I am 17 sound like a high pitch boy voice but in microphone, I sound much lower. 🙄
I am boy and I sound like a girl 😂 embarrassing
When I am on the phone people ask me if my Mom or Dad is home. I have to tell them I am the parent. I am 45 years old and I have always sounded like a kid. I hate having this voice, because it is so embarrassing to me.
I can relate
Yeolanda King this made me laugh so hard 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
They call me ma'am and I'm 19 and male ._.
@@dev4083 I bet you get tired of hearing it. It frustrates me so much when it happens to me.
@haleigh I hope they stop doing that to you one day.
“ you literally have to get your Adams apple from here👶, TO HERE🧔♂️”
It all makes sense, when i was a kid I was praised for being cute and acting cute so I grew up in that manner and now all my friends are serious and talk about mature things while I struggle as a 17 year old boy. I hate my small child like voice and being a nice guy, i act like a nice guy with my friends and I won't speak while they're talking
I want to change all this and improve myself
We all have areas we want to improve. You've done a good job of figuring out what needs fixing. Now to begin the self-work to overcome these challenges. I've got your back!
You can. Be what you want to be. Freedom is being yourself without anyone's permission.
Im 17 and my voice still hasnt changed, Im tired of it. And sometimes, when im in public, i just do basic hand gestures and i dont talk anymore bcoz i know people will make fun of me.
BITCH, this is so ME☠️☠️☠️ like I sound not manly and the bitches guns think I’m gay or sum and when I try to talk in deep voice, it sound wack asf☠️
IM 17 AND SAME SITUATION
I’m 13 and it so annoying 🧍🏾♀️
Did it change?
@@jannikstfl nope, still the same.
I’m 35 and 196cm (6’5). I have beard and always look angry to some people but when I speak I sound like a 14 teenage boy and most people don’t take me seriously when I speak. The thing is when I’m silent and use gesture to communicate they seem to be serious of me because of my look but when I speak they change their behaviour. Sometimes when I try to deepen my voice to sound normal like my friends I still sound like a 14 year old boy trying hard to deepen his voice to mock an adult. It’s the worst and awkward.
Yo I relate a lot bro. I used to have amazing vocal range but one day I developed muscle dysphasia and now I can’t control how I sound I feel like people don’t take me seriously. It’s annoying.
same problem bro..
😭😭😭😭😭
@@Utsab00346 youre so bloody tall
You sound like a chill dude
I relate man. I'm 30, constantly not taken seriously. It's a distraction.
This video is such a breakthrough for me. I've had this issue with having a different voice when I get nervous, and it's become this whole guessing came as to what's going on physically because I could feel a difference in the back of my throat but could never explain it. Lowering my larynx is literally the answer and instantly I sound like Batman idk how I can talk to my friends like this now lol
Wonderful! Your friends are going to be impressed with your Batman voice. lol. And it sounds like you'll feel more confident speaking. That's the goal!
Same, its weird right?
Hey there, could you help me out?
No one :
Literally no one:
Me at 3am: eedddddddddggggggggeeeee
😭😭😭😭
That’s pretty edgy
2am for me
Me too!
3 31 for me
I like the way he talks. His voice is nasaly and nerdy but somehow relaxing and engaging at the same time.
wow that was amazing, sometimes people say i sound different or if i pick up the phone they won't know its me
ive always wondered what my actual normal speaking tone is, werid as it sounds
but the way you explained it made so much sense.
This guy explains things perfectly! Thanks buddy !
Thankyou very much. Really helpful and it works!! could instantly feel the difference
Thank you so much man you honestly helped me so much to learn how to play with my voice. And these tips are also very good for people looking into doing voice acting. It can really teach you how to play around with your voice for different characters! Great Video!🤟🙌
so for those of us who do all sorts of voices and impressions must be crazy. Honestly though, I discovered Roger prob 15-20 years ago and to this day i recommend his teachings to other aspiring singers as I tell them I learned SO much from him - probably more than the 3 years of vocal classes in college!
Aww, thanks for the kind words!
Thank you so much sirrr! You have boosted my self esteem now I can as lousy as I want. 💃💃💃
Can you do a video on how to fix sounding anxious (voice not being smooth and sometimes skipping)? Also sometimes when talking to certain people one might tend to talk higher. Would the fix in that situation be the same as described in this video? Thanks
that's just how the human mind reacts to certain things there's no fix
@@BlackHoodBeatz you decide how your voice sounds, not others, you practice because it's all muscles in the end, and muscles can be trained to work better in all circumstances
Still got this problem?
@@krash6951 yeah this was 3yrs ago I'm curious too lol
I can relate to your comment.

This is still me and I’m 50!! I have a elocution coach and this is the only thing I’ve left to work on!
Thank you so much
You're a miracle
But the problem is in my mind. When I try to lower my pitch, my mind says "hey, this is not me!" but my mouth says "I don't wanna sound like a kid anymore!" 😩 idk what should I do to ignore my mind.. lol..
So relatable 😭
I totally get you!
Get therapy. Childhood trauma is a big reason why your voice sounds like a kid.
THANKS, will practice this
omg it works...thanks for having this video it help me so much
This is truly amazing. Thanks alot.
Thank u so much you saved my life 🥺❤ I'm 20 years old n I seemed like 5 years old after seeing this video 😩 thank u a bunch 💗
My pleasure!
Omg thanks u so muchh😭❤ this literally gave me so much hope and confidence ty❤.
This is informative reallly! You are helping us!! 💗
This is a great video. Wondering if you could point to a set of exercises to improve the "edge" in one's voice. Thanks.
use any singing exercise on youtube and keep saying the same Edgy words he said over it practice daily until your brain remembers and remind yourself to use it while speaking with others, that's how we master the voice as singers and it's even easier for speech because we do it all the time
Ok edge lord 🙄🙄🙄
/s
Great question
Sing praise of god with love it will change your voice
This helped alot. I could instantly FEEL what he said for edge as well as feeling the adams apple move. I have the most kiddy voice ever and I always thought it was because of a hormone deficiency. I'm going to be using a lot more with my tongue and adams apple from now on! Thank you very much
Hey there! It's probably soo late.. But I was wondering, is your voice better after?
Thanks bro! i want to use this , but idk if it'll work
@@CoinCollectorUAE A slight yawn can help lower the larynx too (see for yourself in a mirror), but don't constantly keep the larynx in an unnaturally low position, just allow it to rest comfortably in your throat. Also the edge he is talking about basically means that the vocal folds aren't making much contact, so relaxing your larynx (and your neck and shoulders) will help with the closure of these. The vocal folds not making much contact can also cause damage your voice as it dries the larynx and can result in a raspy voice.
Thank you so very much, I love it!
One of videos that changedy life. Thanks.
The problem is, my voice isn't breathy. It's a normal volume, and has a clear sound. The thing is, my voice is SO high pitched, but when I use the methods in the video (or any other method) it hurts extremely badly. It feels like I'm straining my voice so hard.
go slow, make the transition in months, not minutes
It might help you to lower the larynx by yawning slightly instead of moving your tongue. Just a slight yawn and drop your larynx more only until it feels comfortable. Also with the edge sound it might help to not exaggerate it as much and try to keep the airflow through mouth not the nose. You can use your fingers to close your nose and make sure it's going through the mouth.
I don't want to strain my neck so I'm just gonna sound like a 4 year old :3 amateur!
Me too!
start smoking. or don't.
sometimes the problem is caused by experiencing trauma in childhood. it’s not a choice.. please don’t feel guilty thinking it’s your fault/ your choice
That's me...
People complain a lot about my essense of mother tongue that it's like a kids voice today I'm thinking of not speaking at all to any complainers..... Then I go search 🔍 on RUclips Ted talks and finally this video ...its helpful thanks 😊 Roger
Thanks to you, I can now sound exactly like the voice on the Duluth trading company commercials, thank you!.
Glad I could help!
It’s crazy but it’s true… love this video hopefully I’m gonna train myself to have a deeper voice
Good luck!

I needed this. I talk with mostly air!! I'm a 37 yr old Hispanic woman and I have a high pitch weird voice! I sound different in my head but once I heard a recording of myself I was mortified!!! 😂😂 I also tell my children who are still little but too old to baby talk to speak normal because then they will get used to speaking that way. Glad to hear that I just didn't make that up!

Same problem
Same 🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁
Same
Very entertaining but i did try his tips. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed!
Man from now on you are my boss
Tnx a lot 🤲♥️
Breathing technique also plays an important role, you need a book or his method to learn all of it
As voice manipulators, singers and voice actors we can decide exactly how we'd like to sound, and you can do the same with a bit of daily practice, either buy his excellent method or book and go through it or get a singing or backing exercise on youtube an practice 10 15min daily talking rapping or singing what he demonstrated over it
I think you saved my life😭
I had the same voice from 12 to 20, I got into singing and I noticed that there are different registries of the voice. I alway thought im a tenor but I guess Im so used to the tenor vocal registry that I never tried going lower or using the full range of my voice. For 5 years Ive been experimenting, so I think im just an extended baritone certainly helps with singing. I talked into a pitch detector normally and it picked up notes from c2 to c4. If your voice has fluctuating pitch maybe you are compensating for the sake of sanity as this guy said.
Thanks for the wonderful tips!
You are so welcome! Thanks so much for letting me know you found them helpful.
so me getting bullied and convincing my brain I’m a fucking squeaker is the reason why my voice is still high fuck my life
Happy birthday! Everyone!
Thank you for this! 😢
I've always tried to be as quite as I can. now i regret it. but i will fix it. thank you so much for this.
Yes! Raise your voice. You deserve to be heard.
Ok how about if the adam apple itself is amost not visible at all ? lol tried them but no luck here!
I’m 18 and I’m doing an apprenticeship in a bank and when it’s time to answer the phone they ask me how old I am or if they can speak to someone else. People tell me I sound fine in person but I sound like a kid on the phone. Is it because I get nervous on the phone?
Thank you so much.

I was always insecure about my voice as a kid when I was 13.. I already had a late puberty so when my voice finally started to lower when I was 15 I was a bit dissapointed in the end result. 2 years later nothing too much happened. I don't sound like a 10 year old but I still despise my voice.
this video was really helpful thanks
Glad to hear it!
Oh my gosh, this helped out a bunch!
Thank you very much!
I’m 18 and I get belittled for my voice. Shit gets irritating
Exactly
People don't take me seriously at work with my voice. I hope this helps me.
Thank You!
I can lower my voice with ease, the problem is that my throat starts to hurt after talking like that for about 5 minutes. Do you know what might cause that?
My voice was abnormally high even for a child. I got mocked all the time because of it. Had a voice teacher when I was ten. She recorded me while I didn’t know she was doing it. She played it back and I was so embarrassed to hear it. I asked her to stop playing it. But why did I sound like that? I didn’t benefit from her help. I was wondering if my hearing was way off because when I speak I hear a normal voice. But when I hear myself speak from a recorder, I sound completely different. It seems there is a disconnect from my hearing and my brain somehow. It’s been a lifelong curse. I can lower my voice, but it sounds artificially low in my ear and not at all like myself or what I perceive to be normal. I wish I knew what was wrong with me. I’m now in my 60’s.
First of all, I'm so sorry that you didn't get better counsel when you were younger. But be encouraged. I may not be able to solve everything here in a YT comment, but let me at least address some of your questions.
As far as recording your voice goes, you will never hear yourself in the same way as a recording does. The reason is that what you hear when you speak is a result of bone conduction and directional sound. Your brain is actually getting more information about your own voice from the vibrations in your head when you make sound. And the sound that does leave your mouth is going away from you.
The recording (depending on the quality of the device) gives a more accurate version of what other people hear because sound is directional. It is headed toward them and they don't get the added bone conduction from their own heads that you do.
Regarding how artificial your voice sounds to you when you lower it, remember that you've been producing sound that way all these years and your brain is programmed to "recognize" you. Anything else will seem odd even if it's a result of better vocal production techniques.
Here's my advice... Do the vocal exercises I outline here and lower the voice (even if it feels artificial at first). Then record yourself so you can see if you like the sound that others hear better than when you speak as you have been. Dial in the sound you like. Record often to measure your progress. After a while your brain will reprogram itself to associate the new bone conduction sounds as your "new normal."
It takes time, but other than overcoming the years of vocal habits, age is not a factor. You can do this!
Not exhaustive, but hope this helps, 😊
Don't feel bad! I have the same problem .
I love this guy!!!
Thanks, the method works for me!
I'm so glad to hear it!
I Lost it whe he said "you got to talke more edgy" lol
