Voice Surgery

[Gen23]

how can I book in for voice surgery to make my voice sound deeper and to make my voice sound like somebody else's

[dannyk13]

Don't think you will find a surgeon willing to do this (if it is at all possible)

[Mamyalynne]

Stop thinking of messing with nature and work with what you have.

Gen, are you any relation of kath?

[jackthehat]

It depends.....
A good voice coach may be able to teach you ways to lower your register a little, this may not be successful if you sound like Joe Pasquale, though.

Who is it you wish to sound like?

[Buenchico]

Voice coaching would be simpler. (Margaret Thatcher dropped her vocal range by an octave simply by getting a bit of coaching).

How old are you, gen?

[woofgang]

I know about this....she actually stretched her vocal cords to achieve a deeper voice. Its definitely possible but you need to be committed to the exercises and I gather that it ranges from uncomfotable to painful. There may also be a need to keep the exercises up for life to maintain the stretch

[Sqad]

I have never heard of such a thing.

[Mexican18]

This sounds like Blake Wildfong to me!

Some of Gens questions have been asked before...and recently. I seem to remember the OP was pretty young...an adolescent.

[Old_Geezer]

Good grief. Learn to accept yourself, and the things you can not change.
If that determined, see a voice teacher.

[pixie374]

Thanks pasta... then give it some more time, gen x

[woofgang]

a decent voice or singing coach will not allow you to do this at your age. There is a risk of permanent damage.

Sqad is ENT oriented and may answer
There are operations available, and your first stop is your GP in the UK and you have to persuade him that you need it
need not as in want

and yeah I wouldnt bother BUT that swasnt the question

[Sqad]

PP the vocal cords can be operated on for many reasons,excision of vocal nodules is the commonest and vocal cord centralisation for improving the voice in malignant disease but I know of no operation performed on normal vocal cords for purely affectation.
I do not understand the
posts concerning voice training as this has nothing to do with the surgical approach as mentioned by the OPer

sqad:
well you have heard of it now!

Apparently such surgery is available in the USA:

P. P. I bow to greater knowledge.

Sqad, this OP - Gen is unhappy with such a lot, they want a deeper voice (ideally to sound like a 50+ shouty man) and also to be older as quickly as possible.

Gen also has great trouble concentrating on things.

The anxieties of youth are very real.

Asking about being 80 years old, earlier? :-//
