I look at the 'deep voice' as being dependent on two things: 1. Your “hardware” (size and shape of your body) and 2. your “software” (from where in your body your voice originates.) Other than the purely habitual manner of speaking, I believe the aspect that most profoundly affects vocal pitch is the emotional state. People who are stressed, tense, or repressed tend to speak from their throats and head (nasal cavity.) Vibrations emanating from this narrow area are more rapid, resulting in a higher pitch.
People who are relaxed, grounded, and confident tend to have voices that originate from much lower in their body (ideally the abdominal area) which is a much larger resonant “chamber,” resulting in a slower vibratory rate, which equals a lower pitch.
Try to notice your voice when you are nervous, stressed, irritated. Notice not just the sound of your voice, but from where in your body it originates. Now notice your voice when you have spent a relaxing day at the beach, or have enjoyed a gratifying lovemaking session, and notice the same.
I think this “deep voice” thing is relative to each individual. A voice originating from deep in the body indicates someone who is calm, self-possessed, and confident. As you become a person who is congruent with the goals of BASE, your voice will naturally deepen within the parameters of your own personal potential for such.
