Appearance and dress are not always indicators of a woman. Listen to what and how she starts to speak.
By nature, the beautiful half of humanity is endowed with softness, fluidity, sonorous pleasant voice. It is a woman who is able to revive with her speech boring chat or kill the interlocutor with a word.
What is a pleasant female voice? How to make your voice attractive?
It is important not only how we sound, but also what we say. Agree, a barb or gossip said in a pleasant soft female voice does not bring joy to those who hear it.
- does it contain gratitude to others and compliments
- does it come from the abdomen or from the throat
- others feel relaxed and peaceful next to a woman or, conversely, excessive tension
- the speed of the verbal flow should be measured and flow like a stream
- literacy of constructing phrases and the number of specific terms
The attractiveness of the female voice is adjustable and customizable. Like a violin or a piano. Pay attention to trainers women's development and psychology. They have a very pleasant and attractive timbre of voice. And the questions about how to correct it are answered in sufficient detail.
Let's conditionally divide them into two groups:
- with the help of the mind
- through training
In the first case we:
- consciously control what we say
- We evaluate the relevance of the remark before it is voiced
- adjustable speed and flow of words, their quality
In the second option, they come to our aid:
- vocal lessons
- breathing practices
- training to pronounce words from the abdomen, on the exhale
- massage, yoga and any other that remove blocks in the body and reduce the amount and strength of stress
Remember that a woman who is relaxed at the level of her body and her thoughts sounds pleasant.
Gender features of the speech of men and women
- We differ from each other not only by gender, the work of the psyche and appearance, but by the sound and fullness of our speech
- For example, men tend to get carried away in a conversation with the topic that interests them, and not pay attention to hints to change it. Unlike women, who easily adapt and adjust to the interlocutor, listen to him carefully, quickly switch to another topic
- The tendency to interrupt an interlocutor is male feature contrary to popular belief that women are guilty of this
- The speech of a man is specific, replete with terms, tied to the topic under discussion. At fair half Humanity is different. Their speech is full of expressive epithets, interjections, in simple terms often jumps from topic to topic
- Obscene language is equally present in both male and female communication. But in mixed groups of interlocutors it is not audible
- Gender differences in speech have even developed to the level of word pronunciation, word length, letter substitution, and personal identification. For example, in the Chukchi language, a man pronounces a word with the letter “r”, and a woman should change it to “c”
- The Japanese refer to themselves as "boku" and the Japanese as "atasi". American Indians yana tribes communicate men's style his language officially, among the representatives of the strong half and with the mother-in-law. At the same time, the male version of the pronunciation of words is longer than the female one. AT Portuguese specific word It has different endings depending on who says it
Why do men and women have different voices?
- Nature took care of the difference between the voices of men and women. Ever since life primitive order the man was assigned the role of a protector from predatory animals. And they were afraid of low guttural sounds
- Anatomically, males have longer vocal cords than females. Therefore, on their neck there is an Adam's apple, or Adam's apple, which creates additional space for ligaments.
- Remember guitar tuning. The stronger the string is tightened, the shorter it is, and the sound is higher and thinner. A similar situation with male and female voice sound
- 'Cause the low is rough male voice scared away predators. And women, on the contrary, were attracted because of the association with protection and security.
- Psychologically, the owner of a low voice is perceived as larger and larger than the one with a thin voice.
- Even by physique, you can guess what kind of voice a person has. Most often, large wiry men will speak in bass, and thin thin women in high alto
What voice do women speak to men
Women skillfully change their outfits, images and voice. True, unlike the first two, the latter reflects natural essence, which is difficult to disguise with pretense and antics. Beautiful ladies evaluate the situation, the interlocutor and take into account their goals.
But this is the highest aerobatics of female skill. More often we just say how it goes, without understanding what we say and how. Meanwhile, there is a connection between the timbre of the voice and the perception of the speaker by the interlocutor.
If a woman wants to attract a man, then:
- her voice sounds deep from the stomach, low with velvet tints and pauses. About its owner they say "fatal woman"
- soft, "wet", with moderate word accents
Men of a more subtle mental organization are able to "hear" a clear, moderately firm, structured speech of a lady of the middle range.
If a woman is aimed at the official format of communication, then she speaks essentially, rather dryly, at the frequencies of the medium and moderate low or high range.
How to learn to speak slowly and clearly?
A person who chatters and / or swallows endings, letters in words, is difficult to understand. The interlocutor needs to strain excessively and guess the meaning of what was said. And this only worsens understanding and communication in general.
Do you suspect that you have problems with diction and speech speed and want to eliminate them? Check out some practical tips:
- record yourself on a voice recorder, speak freely without clamping your voice, as if you are talking with a friend. Listen to the recording and see if there is a problem.
- read books aloud and change intonations in dialogues
- sing beautiful romances, slow folk songs paying attention to lingering places
- listen Holy Scriptures in writing, they are read slowly with a clear pronunciation of words. So you relax, peace settles in you and you don’t want to “rumble” at all. On the contrary, subconsciously you will feel a desire to imitate their pace.
- do it regularly morning exercises, if possible, do yoga or dance, where movements for stretching, relaxation predominate separate parts body
- do exercises for articulation, for example, with balls in your mouth, say tongue twisters, open your mouth wide, move your tongue across the lips and inside the mouth. AT free access you can easily find a lot of other useful exercises
- visit a specialist stage speech or a speech therapist, work out or consult with them
Read aloud women's novels, fairy tales or literature on psychology. You can record your voice at this time on a voice recorder and listen to it. Evaluate the sound as an outside observer.
How to develop competent speech?
Agree, a person who knows how to build sentences correctly is more pleasant to listen to. He speaks competently, that is, clearly, intelligibly, clearly formulates his thoughts into words, emotionally colors sentences. Such a person is respected and his opinion is listened to. He is in demand in any team.
The development of our speech literacy is influenced by:
- quantity and quality of books read
- the habit of listening to yourself and professional announcers in the recording
- crossword puzzles to improve vocabulary
- circle of friends. If you are surrounded by people with lame literacy, it is expected that you will also speak
How does the speed of speech affect the beauty of speech?
Chatterboxes, like slow ladies, strain the interlocutors.
The high speed of speech provokes a lack of understanding of how individual words, and in general the meaning of what has been said. Everything is mixed into a heap without pauses. The owner of a fast speech rate herself also suffers:
- her thoughts jump even faster than spoken words
- in the eyes of the interlocutor, she sees misunderstanding and confusion
- after communication feels dissatisfied and irritable
Chanting women who slow down their pace excessively resemble Finns or Estonians. The interlocutor runs out of patience quickly enough, there are unpleasant feelings that they talk to him like a child or a narrow-minded person. He is nervous, trying to complete the dialogue as quickly as possible.
Therefore, the speed of speech should also be monitored, filled with appropriate pauses, painted with emotional colors. It is especially easy for us, women, with the last point.
You can analyze your speech speed using, for example:
- voice recorder
- feedback from a friend you trust and accept without offense criticisms to your address
How to make your voice beautiful and attractive?
- Many people, upon hearing a recorded recording of their voice for the first time, are frightened and confused. “Is this how others hear me? Yes, this is not my voice at all! they think or say
- To know for sure how you sound, ask your friends and family
- And if there are nuances with insufficient beauty and attractiveness, then they can be eliminated.
- But remember - the voice is inextricably linked with your personality, essence, character. And by changing it, you will have to change yourself
Here are a few effective methods to change the voice to a more attractive and beautiful:
- facial exercises, such as forcefully opening the mouth and pronouncing vowels
- elaboration of emotional intonations through the voicing of any phrase with a different emotional color, for example, angry, joyful, tired, playful, sexy. This also includes singing in the gibberish language. Trust me, you won't be able to sing monotonously on it.
- voice development by buzzing vowels with a closed mouth. So you shoot muscle clamps in the body and find new reserves for your sound
- voice setting. Regular sessions with professional teacher vocals will give you the right breathing, feeling your body and the process of sound delivery, the ability to speak in relaxed ligaments, tirelessness in case of working with a large audience
- And another nice bonus - improved health, more long life. After all, opera singers were seen in the lists of centenarians
How to make a pleasant voice?
- refused or never had bad habits- smoking, alcohol, swearing
They can destroy not only health, but also alienate other people from communicating with you. - fill your speech with words of gratitude.
Agree, it’s more pleasant to help or ask a question to a person who knows how to thank - Sincerely compliment others and say nice words.
Remember, in D. Carnegie, one of the principles of building friendly relations with others was based on the regular appropriate use of compliments in speech - learned to speak with the stomach.
This is a natural female way of delivering sound. So the vocal cords are relaxed, and you do not feel tired after communication. - say the words as you exhale. Practice at home first so as not to shock the interlocutor
- slow down the pace of speech.
If you know about this feature of yours, it is worth working with it. Talking about business and idle is too stressful for anyone. But you don’t need to turn into an Estonian or a resident of Finland at all - reduce the number of words to a reasonable level.
If there is no urgent need to answer, keep silent with a smile on your lips. - sing beautiful melodic songs, mantras or prayers. The song opens the reservoirs of the soul invisible to the eye for a harmonious exchange of energy with space. If you're stage shy, love to sing to yourself at home.
- use simple verbal constructions without an excessive number of terms.
pour in clever words is the norm for men. The simpler a woman speaks, the easier and more pleasant it is to communicate with her. - regularly relax your body, for example, in yoga classes, Pilates, massage sessions
Man accumulates in the body unlived emotions, and a woman, thanks to her impressionability and inclination to empathy, even more so. Find an outlet for yourself where it will be easy for you to part with such “baggage”

Incredible Facts
Scientists say that men with a hoarse voice are the most attractive and sexy for the opposite sex.
Men are attracted to women who seem to speak with a breath.
Female sexy voice
The actress, as you know, fascinated everyone with a high, enveloping notes, voice.
Very memorable was the way the actress spoke with a breath. It was this manner of singing and speaking that simply struck the men on the spot. A connection was established between the attractiveness of the female timbre and the size of the body of the owner of the voice.
As a rule, these are women of medium build. It is these representatives of the fair sex that are most attractive to men.
Low male voice
Women are attracted by the owners of a pleasant low voice with a characteristic hoarseness. At the same time, the timbre should also be deep enough.
Scientists say that a rather tall man with a low voice is ideal for the opposite sex. However, tall does not mean big. Beauty should be courageous, but not aggressive.
Returning to women, it is worth noting that Dr. Yi Lu (Yi Lu) says that the highest voice is an indicator of a woman's sexuality.
At the same time, it should not be too high, so as not to give off "squeaky", characteristic notes of hoarseness should be caught in the timbre of the voice. Hoarseness in the voice and breathy speech is almost a hundred percent guarantee that a man will go crazy for such a woman.
Of course, the parameters of the female figure are also important. Petiteness, ideal body proportions and, of course, a recognizable voice turned Marilyn into a real sex symbol of the century.
Women, in turn, prefer men who are taller than them, physically stronger with an accentuated hoarseness in their voice, which gives them masculinity. However, excessive aggressiveness in external data, not only does not attract the weak half, but, on the contrary, repels.
A number of studies have been conducted involving both sexes. The results turned out to be quite interesting, albeit very predictable: in the company of an unfamiliar beautiful woman single men lowered their voices to get her attention. Psychologists say that the stronger sex does this on a subconscious level.
New studies confirm the results of previous melons obtained in the course of observations. In 2010, psychologists from Albright College, Pennsylvania, US also proved numerous examples, what men and women change their voices to attract the opposite sex.
Moreover, representatives of both sexes change their voice downwards. The results of this study broke the stereotype that most women try to speak in a higher voice to attract the opposite sex.
On the contrary, they artificially lower the timbre of the voice, adding to it attractive notes of hoarseness. Indeed, this technique works especially when meeting on the phone, when the girl does not have the opportunity to flirt in her usual way: smile sweetly, innocently flap her eyelashes.
The sexiest women in the world

If a woman has a rough, hoarse voice, and a man has a squeaky one, this is unusual. And, most likely, it causes complexes in humans. Today in Asian countries, operations have become very fashionable, allowing you to make your voice more feminine or, conversely, masculine. For example, to lower the voice, the surgeon removes part of the cartilage of the larynx and injects Botox into the vocal cords. Ligaments shorten, become looser and flatter. To raise the voice, doctors suggest placing titanium plates in the muscles of the throat - and the ligaments are stretched. It happens that part of the ligament is burned out with a laser. As a result, a scar appears, the ligament becomes rigid, and the voice is high. But with any operation, complications are possible. For example, Botox temporarily paralyzes the ligaments, and the lungs become vulnerable, and pneumonia may even develop. But patients are not afraid. About whether such operations are carried out in our country, we asked to tell otolaryngologist Kyiv clinical hospital No. 9 by Vladimir Dints.
- In order to simply improve the voice, operations are usually not performed,- says Vladimir Yakovlevich. — If necessary, intervention on the vocal cords is carried out in patients who have had their thyroid gland so that the person does not suffocate. There are also cases when the vocal cords do not close for some reason. Then a special gel is injected into them with the help of microinstruments. With hoarseness, hoarseness and other problems, specialists (otolaryngologists, phoniatrists, speech therapists) can help by prescribing drugs or using special techniques.
- Everyone knows that it changes during a cold. With laryngitis (inflammation of the mucous membrane of the larynx), for example, the voice may disappear altogether. You should not be afraid, after five to ten days of treatment, he usually recovers. For a patient whose voice has disappeared or changed due to a cold, it is useful to drink warm (not hot!) Teas with honey, viburnum, raspberries, linden, milk with cocoa butter. It is recommended to chew propolis. Inhalations with herbs are good: calendula, eucalyptus, chamomile, and also mineral water Borjomi. With laryngitis, it is important to be silent, and not try to say something. It is better to write notes to household members. Aphonia, in which a person can only speak in a whisper, occurs not only with laryngitis, but also with other inflammatory diseases, as well as with the appearance of tumors.
The voice can change with pharyngitis, rhinitis, sinusitis. By the way, in people suffering from chronic sinusitis, during an exacerbation, the temperature does not always rise and the state of health worsens, but their condition gives out a French pronunciation. Sometimes a change in voice is associated with a deviated septum.
- Of course. If a woman does not produce enough female sex hormones, then her voice becomes rougher and lower. And in the representatives of the stronger sex with a deficiency of male hormones, the timbre rises. The production of hormones is disrupted in endocrine pathologies, diseases of the urogenital area.
Voice disorders (dysphonia) are more likely to affect people in speech professions: teachers, announcers, dispatchers, translators, and also singers. The voice at the same time becomes hoarse, weak, trembling, breaking. And mostly women face this problem. You see, the vocal cords are also affected by emotional condition person. And women are more stressed. Smoking harms the vocal cords, work on harmful chemical industries. The voice may change in athletes who overexert the muscles of the upper shoulder girdle and neck, such as weightlifters. After all, the muscles of the larynx also tense up, as a result, the vocal cords stop moving.
- What tests can the doctor prescribe for diagnosis?
- In case of violation of functions vocal cords The otolaryngologist recommends laryngoscopy or stroboscopy, which helps to identify inflammation, anatomical changes. If a specialist suspects a tumor, he may prescribe ultrasound procedure, radiography, computed or magnetic resonance imaging.
- Everything is very individual, because the timbre can change according to different reasons. It is important for people of speech professions to try to be silent after work. Those who work in hazardous industries should definitely use a respirator. You can make your voice louder by using eggnog (egg yolks whipped with sugar). But before breaking egg, you need to wash the shell with soap or pour boiling water over it: to avoid infection with salmonellosis.
It is important to know that the voice arises not only with the participation of the vocal cords, but also with breathing. It is necessary to learn how to breathe correctly: deeply, freely and ... with the stomach. Some experts recommend singing and shouting, but this also needs to be done correctly and not during periods of exacerbations. There are special exercises to improve the voice. They can be found on the Internet. For example, you should take some text and read first only vowels, and then only consonants. Exercise is recommended to be performed daily for five to ten minutes.
But if a person has serious problems with a voice, there is some discomfort, you need to consult an otolaryngologist or phoniatrist. You may also need the help of an endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, oncologist and other specialists.
Instruction
Low female voice. Talented vocalists with deep voices are not so common. The contralto is the lowest. According to statistics, it is he who likes both men and women. The range from F of a small octave to G of the second octave sounds very deep and mysterious when singing, which cannot but attract attention. But if we are not talking about vocals, but about simple conversation, it is important that this does not sound nasal.
Hoarse voice. Such female voices like men. A little hoarseness in speech always sounds pleasant. Such a voice is erotic and sexy for the opposite sex. For women, it also sounds attractive, creating an atmosphere of warm friendly communication. A girl with a hoarse voice wants to trust and tell all her secrets. But even here there are extremes. A smoky voice does not deliver aesthetic pleasure when listening. Its owner is perceived negatively.
Chest tone. A deep voice, as if born in the chest, sounds like a motherly warmth. People instinctively listen to its owner and feel affection for her. This association originates from childhood itself. Psychologists say that it is with the owners of this timbre that men want to create families, and women want to enter into close friendship.
Velvety and quiet voice. Gentle whispers and calm, measured speech are the key to the trust of others. For a man, such a "" timbre subconsciously hints at emotional connection giving birth to affection. Girls see in a velvety-voiced adviser who deserves high trust. Quiet voices do not irritate, but make you listen. They have a magical attraction that creates the effect of a magnet. Such women are sought for understanding, their amazing peace of mind helps relieve stress.
"Children's" voice. A slightly naive and sonorous voice is able to impress the interlocutors. Men like childishness in their voice, as it makes them want to protect the girl. Infantilism in timbre has a different effect on women. They do not see a rival in such a woman, which creates a feeling of inner relaxation in them. In addition, on a subconscious level, they see in her someone like a younger sister who is worth protecting and patronizing.
Sensual high voice. It cannot be said that only low voices cause sympathy. The warm lyric soprano is noteworthy. If the delivered clear voice comes from the depth of the diaphragm, it is extremely pleasant to others. In an abundance of ordinary slightly noisy voices, a sonorous timbre medium height makes you stand out from general noise.

word of the expert
While working on the text, we consulted with a voice professional. Meet the Candidate medical sciences, professor, doctor the highest category, homeopath, ENT-phoniatrist of the Institute contemporary art Natalia Olenchik. Before you move on to looking for jokes in this article, Natalya Vladimirovna asked you to read this in all seriousness: Dear readers! This article has collected basic recommendations that can help improve your voice. It remains for me to add that each person is individual and without a personal visit to the doctor it is difficult to say which advice should be taken into account in the first place. Specific example. The text says that smoking causes aseptic inflammation of the vocal folds. However, I happened to work with two patients who smoke a lot for a long time, but their folds remain absolutely healthy, and their voice does not change. Of course we are talking about exceptions, but you need to understand that to one degree or another, each of us is an exception. I would recommend this article basic course working on your own voice. For some this will be enough. For everyone else, after a few months of daily exercises, you need to contact a specialist to compile further plan classes tailored specifically for you. And remember that you can't change your own voice, you can only improve it. Please note that the text is intended for healthy people without chronic diseases and pathologies in the larynx and the entire respiratory system. The recommendations do not apply to singers, actors and announcers: people in these professions need special exercises.
If you know that some annoyance can be changed, you try to fix it. The vision began to fall - I went to the optometrist. I didn’t like the body - I bought a fitness subscription. Tired of dragging a translator around with me, I put him back in the storage room and learned twenty languages. Dissatisfaction with our own voice is one of those annoyances that many of us put up with without even trying to fix it. To most, this seems as unlikely as living on Mars or winning the Russian figure skating team in the World Cup. Actually getting your voice to be the way you like it is not that hard. A little free time, a little patience and a lot of this article are enough. Do you need it? Surely you have met girls fanatically removing freckles; people with minus seven vision who stubbornly refuse to wear glasses, and men combing the scanty mop of remaining hair on the back of their bald heads. But, you must admit, there are many people who incredibly suit glasses, sparkling bald heads and girls with freckles. Why are we? Before you begin to improve your voice, you need to make sure that this is really necessary. We have compiled two lists of reasons that indicate that something needs to be done about your voice. The first list enumerates external causes, emanating from the surrounding reality. The second is your internal. External causes 1. The phrase “Repeat, please” from others you hear not much less often than “Hello!” or "How are you?" At the same time, you are absolutely sure that you speak clearly and loudly enough. “Whether a person will perceive what you say depends on the voice by 30–40%,” says Natalya Olenchik. It is probably because of him that people miss your words. 2. Unexpectedly for yourself, you can start or end a phrase in an unnatural voice: either too high or too low. In especially neglected cases, you, like a troll overeating sausage, squeal. 3. Get into your hands from time to time honest people who say to your face that your voice does not match your appearance (age, social status, the number of hamburgers you can eat at one time) or just plain nasty. Local causes Below are the main characteristics of the voice, which is worth working on. Our happiness if this list includes at least one epithet that characterizes the sounds you make, because in this case you will surely read this text to the end! You can mow down from reading only because of illness: in order to appreciate the sound of your own voice, you first need to be healthy (flat feet do not count). █ Too high.
█ Husky.
█ Nasal.
█ Trembling.
█ With hoarseness (rarely slipping "signature" hoarseness is not considered).
█ With shortness of breath.
█ Tense (strained, sharp - as you like). How to speak with your voice Another section that will help you to cherish the hope of the tolerability of your own voice for a while. It's possible you're making the wrong sounds. “People who speak unnaturally are quite common,” the expert says. “Moreover, a person usually does not realize the unnaturalness of his voice, he is used to speaking that way.” To start speaking (singing, screaming, boiling potatoes) with your own voice, you need to go through three steps. Let's take a closer look at three of them.
As we said before chronic diseases and the consequences of injuries do not count. “But even treatable ailments have a noticeable effect on the voice,” Natalya Olenchik encourages you to cure kleptomania. █ Diseases of the heart and/or lung system lead to shortness of breath, make the voice trembling.
█ Diseases nervous system and spine make the voice tense.
█ Mental disorders deprive the voice of emotionality and timbre colors.
█ Diseases of the reproductive system primarily strike at the psyche. And already she, having curbed a weak-willed person, makes the voice be deliberately courageous, which is audible to the naked ear. It’s not worth mentioning a cold and a sore throat separately (it’s better to cure them as soon as possible in order to start testing your voice) - except that our consultant advises not to whisper in case of an inflamed throat and ligaments. “To speak in a whisper, you need to have a good speech training, trained vocal folds. To speak in a whisper during illness - even more so. When whispering, the vocal folds do not close and a lot of air passes unvoiced: the muscle fibers of the vocal folds are overstressed. That is, a whisper increases the tension of the speech apparatus at times, even in comparison with yelling or singing.
█ Speak out loud for 15 minutes. “If during this time discomfort or even pain appears in the larynx, it means that you are speaking in an unnatural voice for yourself. Usually the reason is not so much possible diseases how many wrong breathing and habits,” Natalya Olenchik is sure. Bringing out your natural voice is the easiest way empirically trying to talk to correct breathing(about him a little later) and different heights. And that's what. Even if you know exactly where your vocal folds are and are sure that they are not the ones that hurt when you speak, stop rejoicing. “The pain around the folds is directly related to the surrounding muscles. The folds themselves will never hurt, because there are no pain receptors there, ”explains our consultant. █ Try not to smoke for a couple of days. “Cigarette smoke causes aseptic inflammation of the folds,” says Natalia Olenchik. “The voice from this, of course, goes down, but due to the loose closure of the vocal cords, smokers get hoarseness.” Alcohol, by the way, contrary to popular belief, significant influence does not affect ligaments. █ The larynx is located at the level of the 4th-6th cervical vertebrae. Considering that you have only seven of them, it is no wonder that, even when healthy, the vertebrae of the cervical spine affect the quality of the voice. “If during a conversation you strain your neck or bend it unsuccessfully, your voice changes, and noticeably,” the expert assures. So relax your neck, keep it straight, put on your hat and take out the trash. 3. Find the key
█ “There are many ways to find exactly your voice, and all of them become very controversial when trying to self-diagnose. Here is one simple and common technique. Believe him or not - you decide. But it’s better to make an appointment with a specialist to find your own voice,” warns Natalya Olenchik. The native pitch of the voice is revealed, in particular, by such an exercise. Close your teeth and lips, fill your lungs with air and exhale evenly with the sound “mmmmmmmm”. Since [m] is a consonant sound, you will end up with something between “mmmmmmmm” and “muuuuuuuuu” - as it should be. While making this sound, clasp your throat with your palm, and as high as possible to the chin. Say a long "mmmmmmmm" up and down. Notice the moment when the larynx will vibrate the most (you will feel it with your palm). Most likely, this voice is your real one.
What will you fix:
hoarseness, trembling, hoarseness, tension, make the voice lower.
“The vocal folds are made up of special muscles,” says Natalia Olenchik. - These muscles, like all the others, we can train and pump up. The thicker the vocal muscles become, the lower the voice gets.
