Embodied cognition explains how physical states and actions can influence our thoughts and feelings. One example is how our voice can impact our well-being. Speaking in a deeper voice, for instance, can make us feel more relaxed and confident.

A study by Stel et al. (2012) supports this idea. Their research found that adopting physical characteristics associated with confidence and relaxation, such as a deeper voice, can indeed lead to an increase in those feelings. This phenomenon illustrates the powerful interplay between our physical expressions and emotional states.

In the video you will get to know several Tips, that will help you to train your voice to sound deeper and relaxed.
