Hi, I'm Roger Love, celebrity voice coach and author of the best-selling book, Set Your Voice Free.

大家好，我是羅傑-洛夫，著名嗓音教練，暢銷書《釋放你的嗓音》（Set Your Voice Free）的作者。

You know what I hear an awful lot from students?

你知道我經常從學生那裡聽到什麼嗎？

This phrase, I'm an adult, but I sound like a kid.

這句話，我是個成年人，但聽起來卻像個孩子。

Grownups come to me all the time, and they are 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and when you listen to them, you'd think that they were pre-puberty, somewhere around 10, 11, 12 max.

經常有成年人來找我，他們都是 30 多歲、40 多歲、50 多歲、60 多歲的人，聽他們說話，你會覺得他們還沒到青春期，最多也就 10 歲、11 歲、12 歲左右。

And here they are, trying to function as adults, with a voice of a child, thinking that they are somehow trapped in that choice, or that it's not a choice at all.

在這裡，他們試圖以成年人的身份行事，卻發出孩子般的聲音，認為他們在某種程度上受困於這種選擇，或者這根本就不是一種選擇。

They're wondering why so many of all of their friends grew up, and when it was time for their voice to sound like adults, they all did, but what's different about them?

他們在想，為什麼那麼多朋友都長大了，到了該發出大人聲音的時候，他們都長大了，但他們有什麼不同呢？

And they think to me that it literally is genetic, or a physical, or a mental issue, and I am here to tell you exactly what the issue is.

他們認為我說的是遺傳、身體或精神問題，而我要告訴你們的正是問題所在。

It is simply the wrong choice, with the wrong information to choose from.

這根本就是錯誤的選擇，選擇的資訊也是錯誤的。

When we're little, the voice is higher, and squeakier, and thinner.

當我們還小的時候，聲音更高、更尖、更細。

The reason that is, is because your vocal cords are shorter and thinner, and your throat, and your Adam's apple, and the larynx, the house for the vocal cords, it's all smaller.

原因是你的聲帶變短變細了，喉嚨、喉結、喉頭（聲帶的容納處）都變小了。

So your instrument is smaller, the vocal cords are smaller, the space inside there where the vocal cords live, it's all small, and the vocal cords are tiny.

是以，你的樂器變小了，聲帶變小了，聲帶所在的內部空間也變小了，這一切都變小了，聲帶也變小了。

這就是為什麼它聽起來又薄又高。

短絃樂器發出的聲音高而尖銳。

There's a difference between a ukulele and a guitar.

尤克裡裡琴和吉他是有區別的。

A ukulele sounds high and thin, and a guitar is like, the size of the strings influences the body of the tone, how thick it is, how bassy it is.

尤克里裡的音色高而細，而吉他就像，琴絃的大小會影響音色的主體、厚薄和低音。

So little kids sound like little kids because they have little cords.

所以，小孩子的聲音就像小孩子的聲音，因為他們的聲音很小。

Now, when a boy and a girl hits puberty, what happens is, at that moment, a male voice drops an entire octave.

現在，當男孩和女孩進入青春期時，會發生這樣的情況：此時，男性的聲音會下降整整一個八度。

So a male voice goes lower, and it just gets way, way lower than a woman's.

是以，男性的聲音會變低，而且會比女性的聲音低得多。

The reason that happens is because right around that time, a man's vocal cords and larynx and Adam's apple grow faster than a woman's.

之所以會出現這種情況，是因為在這一時期，男性的聲帶、喉頭和喉結比女性長得快。

A woman's Adam's apple and vocal cords and all of that stops growing at a fast rate by the time they get to the puberty age.

到了青春期，女性的喉結和聲帶等所有部位都會停止快速生長。

But a boy's larynx and vocal cords and vocal apparatus grows faster and continues to grow bigger.

但男孩的喉嚨、聲帶和發聲器官長得更快，而且會繼續變大。

That's why a boy's Adam's apple sticks out more.

這就是為什麼男孩的喉結更突出。

Go into the room and find a boy and a girl, find a man and a woman, even better, and put your finger on their Adam's apple, or just look at their Adam's apple.

走進房間，找一個男孩和一個女孩，或者找一個男人和一個女人（更好），把你的手指放在他們的喉結上，或者只看他們的喉結。

You will see the man's Adam's apple sticks out farther.

你會看到男人的喉結突出得更遠。

That's because the Adam's apple is bigger.

The larynx, the house vocal cords, bigger.

So during puberty, a man's voice normally drops because of the size of the Adam's apple and larynx changing.

是以，在青春期，由於喉結和喉頭的大小發生變化，男性的聲音通常會下降。

So a woman's voice continues, and a man's voice, where it was, and a man's voice drops an octave.

於是，女人的聲音在繼續，男人的聲音在原地，男人的聲音下降了八度。

Now, some boys, they have gotten used to that high tenor sound, and even when their voice drops an octave down when puberty happens, they have already gotten it in their head that this is the sound of their voice.

現在，有些男孩已經習慣了這種高男高音的聲音，甚至當他們的聲音在青春期時下降一個八度時，他們已經在腦海中形成了這就是他們的聲音的觀念。

Every morning we wake up, we open our mouth, and we make sound.

每天早晨，我們醒來，張開嘴巴，發出聲音。

我們的大腦會記錄下這種聲音。

And then every day past that, the brain and the body are trying to get together to make the same sound.

之後的每一天，大腦和身體都在努力合力發出同樣的聲音。

It's how we actually maintain our sanity.

So that I wake up in the morning, I go, yep, I'm Roger, yep, this is my room, yep, this is my voice, I'm still sane, okay, don't lock me away.

這樣，我早上醒來，就會說，是的，我是羅傑，是的，這是我的房間，是的，這是我的聲音，我仍然神智清醒，好了，別把我關起來。

If I wake up and my voice is totally different, my brain says, who the heck are you, buddy?

如果一覺醒來，我的聲音完全變了，我的大腦就會說，你到底是誰，夥計？

What are you doing sleeping next to Roger's wife?

So the brain and the body kind of get together, and it gets used to keeping you in the same sound.

這樣，大腦和身體就會結合在一起，習慣於讓你保持同樣的聲音。

So some people have this really cute, high voice.

Maybe they're getting great response for it.

也許他們是以獲得了巨大的反響。

Maybe the girl who has this little cute, squeaky, high voice, as she gets a little older, she still has that cute, sweet personality, and she's used to people reacting to her as, oh, you're so cute, you have such a bubbly personality.

也許那個有著可愛、尖細、高亢嗓音的女孩，隨著年齡的增長，她依然有著可愛、甜美的個性，她習慣於人們對她的反應是：哦，你真可愛，你的個性真活潑。

Maybe the guy who has that high voice that's kind of airy gets used to people thinking, oh, he's so sweet, he's so kind, he's not angry at anybody, we like him, he's so much fun.

也許，那個聲音高亢、氣宇軒昂的人已經習慣了人們的想法：哦，他是那麼可愛，他是那麼善良，他不會對任何人發火，我們喜歡他，他是那麼有趣。

Maybe they get used to the way people react to that higher, sweet, thinner, younger voice.

也許他們已經習慣了人們對這種更高亢、更甜美、更單薄、更年輕的聲音的反應。

Maybe when voices change, people get afraid of us, because all of a sudden we're loud and we have volume and thickness, and that can put some people off when they hear.

也許當聲音發生變化時，人們會害怕我們，因為我們突然變得很響亮，有了音量和厚度，這會讓一些人在聽到時感到不舒服。

So the brain is trying to keep you the same, and maybe the way people react to you is trying to keep you the same, no matter what.

是以，大腦試圖讓你保持不變，也許人們對你的反應也試圖讓你保持不變，無論如何。

In the end result, it is very easy for a boy or a girl to keep the same voice even after puberty happens if they try to keep the same voice for emotional reasons.

最終的結果是，如果男孩或女孩出於情感原因試圖保持相同的嗓音，那麼即使青春期過後，他們也很容易保持相同的嗓音。

And here's all you need to do to fix it, no matter what age you are.

無論你是哪個年齡段的人，都可以通過以下方法解決這個問題。

If your voice sounds like this, and you're a boy or a girl, all you have to do, two things.

如果你的聲音聽起來像這樣，而且你是男孩或女孩，你只需做兩件事。

You've got to get your Adam's apple to come down lower.

You literally have to get your Adam's apple from here to here.

你必須把喉結從這裡移到這裡。

You say, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, and they say, mum, mum, mum, mum, mum.

你說 "媽媽、媽媽、媽媽、媽媽、媽媽"，他們就說 "媽媽、媽媽、媽媽、媽媽"。

All I'm doing is pulling my tongue down, not back, pulling my tongue down.

我只是把舌頭往下拉，不是往回拉，是往下拉。

I'm keeping the tongue, the tip of my tongue, right up against the back part of my teeth and the back part of my tongue, from the middle to the back, I'm pulling down.

我讓舌尖緊貼牙齒後部，舌頭後部從中間向下拉。

And when I do that, I lower my Adam's apple.

當我這樣做時，我的喉結就會降低。

Put your finger on your Adam's apple and say, mum, okay?

把手指放在喉結上，然後說，媽媽，好嗎？

Now say, mum, with that Yogi Bear kind of a funny sound like this, like I have a cold in my nose.

現在說，媽媽，用瑜珈熊那種滑稽的聲音，就像我鼻子裡感冒了一樣。

Do you feel how your Adam's apple came down?

你感覺到你的喉結是怎麼掉下來的嗎？

Step one, you've got to learn how to lower your Adam's apple.

第一步，你必須學會如何降低喉結。

Just play around with the position of your tongue or play around with that Yogi Bear sound and you will feel the Adam's apple come down.

只要擺弄一下舌頭的位置，或者發出 "瑜珈熊 "的聲音，你就會感覺到喉結在下垂。

When your Adam's apple comes down, the back part of your throat opens up and what was a squeaky little high thin sound suddenly becomes a bassy, lower, strong, full, rich sound for men or women.

當喉結向下時，喉嚨後部就會打開，原本吱吱作響的小高音就會突然變成低沉、低沉、有力、飽滿、豐富的聲音，無論對男性還是女性來說都是如此。

So first step, get my Adam's apple down by practicing mum, mum, mum, go, go, go.

所以第一步，通過練習 "媽媽，媽媽，媽媽，快，快，快"，讓我的喉結下降。

You're just trying to get used to your Adam's apple down.

The next thing is if you have a little kid's voice, it's because you have no edge and you have all air.

其次，如果你的聲音像個小孩，那是因為你沒有優勢，只有空氣。

是以，你需要增加更多的優勢。

Do you feel that kind of a vibration in the back part of your throat edge?

你感覺到喉嚨邊緣後部的振動了嗎？

That's the sound that the vocal cords make when they go longer into a longer, thicker position.

這就是聲帶變長變厚時發出的聲音。

So instead of talking airy, you want to talk more edgy, airy, airy, airy, edgy, edgy, edgy.

是以，與其說 "大氣"，不如說 "前衛"、"大氣"、"大氣"、"前衛"、"前衛"。

I lower my Adam's apple down and I add the edge in.

我把喉結往下壓，然後把邊緣放進去。

And then I just went from being 10 years old to having a low larynx to adding the edge in to sounding like an adult.

然後，我就從 10 歲的低喉嚨變成了像成年人一樣發音。

All you have to do is add in the edge and lower your Adam's apple.

您所要做的，就是在邊緣處添加並降低喉結。

Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to all of those birthdays that you've avoided sounding like an adult and reaping the benefits of making sure that people understand that you are an adult.

生日快樂，生日快樂，生日快樂，祝你所有的生日快樂，因為你避免了讓自己聽起來像個成年人，並收穫了讓人們明白你是個成年人的好處。
