Wendy Carlos pictured with the Moog System 55 a staple in her solo projects and iconic film scores, including for Stanley Kubrick’s ‘A Clockwork Orange’ (1972)
One of electronic music’s most important figures, Wendy Carlos is a true pioneer of the craft with countless influential albums and scores. She provided technical advice and insights to Robert Moog during the development of the Moog Synthesizer, an instrument that would revolutionize the music landscape. Her album ‘Sonic Seasonings’ (1972) is an early example of an ambient record, blending the then-new synth with field recordings to create an entirely new listening experience — years before the term “ambient” was even coined!
if you feel like you're not getting anywhere, remember that David Lynch's first feature film Eraserhead took 5 years to make because he kept running out of money and he had to halt production many times to raise/make money to keep going. 5 years. and he didn't even know if anyone would care for the film once it was out. he just made it because he had to, he had faith that what he had to say was worth saying.

Okay, so let’s get one thing out of the way now: this is not overnight. You’ll have to discipline yourself to do this for weeks until you get your desired result. After some time it will just come naturally.
STEP 1:
Stand against a wall or door with your feet together and heels touching the wall. Stand up STRAIGHT. If your posture is impotent, then this ain’t happening.
(if you can’t stand, sit as straight as you can)
STEP 2:
RELAX. Don’t tense up your whole body, especially not your shoulders. This is so easy to do.
STEP 3:
Press the back of your neck against the wall (it’s fine if it doesn’t actually touch, we’re just working the muscles)
STEP 4:
Start speaking for 10 minutes. Find a magazine, book, article or even recite a monologue if you know any. You’ll notice your voice is already dropping two octaves.
STEP 5:
DRINK!! WATER!!!! If you feel your throat scatching or at all painful, STOP!! Take a break! And drink water, no ice.
STEP 6:
After ten minutes (or however long you can do) lay down flat. Keep your body straight. Relax your whole body. Try a visualisation where you relax from your feet up into your head. Doing this will give your throats a chance to cool down (it’s still a muscle!!)
**Bonus Tips**
HONEY - it coats your throats and protects it from damage. Use it before and/or after this exercise.
HOT TEA - I suggest ginger, but you can really pick whatever kind you want. As long it’s not coffee.
WATER!!!!
A CORK - if you’re wanting to go the extra mile, put a cork in your mouth and speak. This helps enunciation and can really help.
DON’T FORCE - if you force your voice to sound low it will sound very artificial
BE PATIENT - It’s gonna take time! Take it as a challenge.
I have tried humming while moving my head, singing to Panic! At The Disco and literally EVERY other thing to lower my voice and this is the only thing that has worked.
Just be safe, don’t hurt yourself!
