Question

Why do some people have high voices and some people have deep voices?

Answer 1

it all depends upon frequency and pitch.as you know each and everyone is unique so their frequency.hence they are different.

Answer 2

it depends on how big your            feet are.

Answer 3

The energy in the voice reflects the attitude and enthusiasm,the rate of speech,tone and inflection pitch,these factors make up the voice quality,breathing,too is important

in communication,The larynx,is responsible for creating the sound of your voice, puberty is another factor

Answer 4

it's frequency. it's how many times the signal vibrates per second. when people have low voices their throat vibrates at a frequency that is less than those who have high voices.

Answer 5

I think it depends on the lenght of your laryx (or what ever it's called). Men have a very deep voice because theirs is very long. Thats why they have an Adams Apple. When you speak the laryx (I think) stretches or shortens to make high or low sounds. Hope that helps.

Answer 6

Depends on age and s*x of the people... everyone has inherited vocals... it is usually after puberty when they become noticable (influenced by levels of the hormone "Androgen").

Under the influence of androgens, the voice box, or larynx, grows in both genders. This growth is far more prominent in boys, causing the male voice to drop, sometimes abruptly but never "over night", about one octave, because the longer and thicker vocal folds have a lower fundamental frequency. Voices never "break." A typical 12-year old boy's larynx is larger, even before voice change, than an adult woman's. Occasionally, voice change is accompanied by unsteadiness of vocalization in the early stages of untrained voices. Most of the voice change happens during stage 4 of male puberty around the time of peak growth. However, it usually precedes the development of significant facial hair by several months to years.

Answer 7

I think it depends on what the person ate for breakfast. If its oranges and tea, then they will have a higher voice, if its cookies and coffee, they will have a deeper voice.

Answer 8

Shape, thickness and tension of the vocal chords.
