Optimizing Your Game: Voice

i think the deeper, more distinguished, controlled, polished, unique voice you have the better.
i've talked to people where i could listen to them speak all day, and others who i tune out immediately.
in my experience, enunciation, accent and meter/pauses and irregularities make you much more interesting and pleasant to listen to, than a whiny voice, sounding like a little girly man. also projecting the voice.
it's like the sirens in the odyssey. you should sound irresistable, as most of game is talking...

Have you ever seen a lion without voice? This is me last night at a club (or rather pit hole with loud music) when i successfully took a girl by hand and sat on a couch but my voice was so weak that she couldn't listen to me. I was using my throat to project my voice in such a loud environment that it still hurts.

I mumble alot. One of my buddies is a lead singer for a rock band. That dude has a cool ass voice. Deep, slightly gravelly, clear, and he never mumbles.

I've noticed that guys with great voices have a huge advantage.
I've seen guys with great voices and weak content get hot girls consistently
and I've seen guys with weak voices and amazing content get nothing
I'd love to have a cool voice like a rapper or a singer or an actor. I think I might get some therapy or coaching in the next few months or so.

Something I read a few years ago that you can try:
1. speak a sentence or two, visualizing your voice is emanating from your mouth
2. repeat, but visualize your voice is emanating from your throat
3. repeat, but visualize your voice is emanating from your belly
Note the difference in voice quality and resonance. Now go through the above again while trying to project your voice at a wall across the room or house - place a recorder there to get a more objective assessment.

When I was a sales trainer I used to talk to my reps about voice inflections. That is really the key. Pitch is not as important as how you command your voice. Your voice when in an uncomfortable situation has a tendency to go up at the end of a sentence similar to when you ask a question. In sales and gaming girls (which are very similiar) this comes across to the person you are speaking to as you are questioning yourself. This is not an Alfa trait. Alfa's do not question themselves, they know they are right. Girls are not going to come back saying "that guy was just to unsure of himself." however they are a lot more likely to say "there was just something about that guy I didn't like, I don't know what it is."
In turn what you can do is practice bringing your voice down lower at the end of a sentance or even just keeping it the same tone. Put a recorder in your pocket when you are gaming girls and you will see how you voice changes when you are talking. It has to do with the tightening of the vocal cords when you are uncomfortable. If you are completely relaxed you won't get this effect. Not thinking helps. Deeper voices are not magic, it's just how you command yourself.
Personally I wouldn't waste my time with a voice class. Just watch your inflections.
