How to Solve the Problem of a Very High-Pitched Voice from Anxiety

Here is another tip for a problem that is very common with improper breathing – a very high-pitched voice.

  • When we get nervous or anxious, our pitch generally rises because of increased tension in the throat area.
  • When you combine anxiety with having to increase the volume of your voice for a presentation to a large room, you may also get a very high-pitched voice.
  • Do proper breathing so that you are increasing your volume without tensing the laryngeal area to solve this problem.  In other words, don’t use upper chest breathing.  Instead, use abdominal muscles and the diaphragm for inhaling and exhaling AND control the air as it is exhaled.
