I agree. This happens to monks too, I think; tension can make one high-pitched.

Yes, Bhante. And everyone can remember some ocasion in their life when a big problem was just solved and they sigh with relief and peaceful relaxation. Right after this, the voice is lower. This is what happens in the long run with the problem of suffering itself.

You are probably reaching puberty. :) Anyways, veganism is a dietary habit and has nothing to do with Buddhism. This question is better suited for http://health.stackexchange.com/.

I agree. I don't think this is really a question about Buddhism so doesn't belong on the site in my opinion. Sorry

I guess that the pitch (whether it's "deeper") is related to how tight your [vocal cords](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_folds) are; and how "resonant" it is may depend on details of your breathing (including your [diaphragm](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_diaphragm)) but see also [Vocal resonation](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal_resonation).

I don't mind this question; it would have been nice if it included "from a Buddhist perspective", but I think we can assume it is implied. Even if the answer is simply "Buddhism says nothing about this", it still seems valuable to have it on our site.

I don't know whether [lion's roar](http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/nanamoli/wheel390.html) is meant to imply anything about the tone of voice (except confidence); "voice deep and resonant" is one of the [Physical characteristics of the Buddha](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_characteristics_of_the_Buddha).

If the implication is that veganism changes one's voice, then I'd want to say that this doesn't belong on the site, except that I think some schools of Buddhism do advocate something like vegetarianism, and thus may have something to say about the benefits.

It's probably to do with the absence of tension. When you're relaxed, your voice tends to be lower. If you meditate or do yoga the voice naturaly goes in that direction. It's possible something similar happens when you eat very healthy and remove other kinds of tensions.
