How to make my voice lower?

Not definitive, just what I've been doing:

Working out
Always talk and breathe from your belly, from your balls. If you're talking just from your throat, it's not going to be deep. Learning how to breathe esp. with your diaphragm will help with this.
When you talk, try to speak on exhalation so your voice goes lower as you speak (you really should be taking time to respond anyway)
Imitation. We know that our voices are heavily influenced by people we grew up with. Make new programming.... pick a famous person (or a person you know or remember) and imitate how deep their voice is.

Practice all of these and your voice will get very deep.

Years of smoking will do it. Being a bigger man (size-wise) will do it. Age will do it.

I've found that when I'm just talking and not considering my pitch, I'm somewhere in the middle third of my vocal register. It's easy to speak calmly in the lowest third of my register - I just have to proactively do it. It has actually produced interesting results - Not sure if it's specifically the lower voice, or just the general calmer feel that it gives my demeanor (probably a mix of both).. but it definitely results in more giggles, "subtle" kino from her, 'darling's, etc. I don't think you are wasting your time considering it.

But, learn to work with what you've got. Just as you (hopefully) exercise your mind and your body routinely - exercise the lower end of your vocal register too. Like these dudes said, google has specific exercises if you feel you need them. No real reason you shouldn't be able to slip into the deepest voice your body can muster on command.. Powerful tool

I used to have a friend who was an aspiring metal vocalist, and he was always trying to train his voice.

I picked up some tips from him. One being to force your voice to sound a certain way in normal day conversation. I've done this at work to make my voice deeper, and from what I can tell it has been working for me.

Staying hydrated helps take some strain off your vocal cords.

Google for voice coaching in your local area, you should be able to find something. I had such a coaching years ago and was very happy with it. There's obviously a limit to how deep your voice can go, but most people don't use theirs correctly and thus speak in a much higher and more annoying pitch than they could. After a few months my coach even asked me whether I wanted to record a demo to send to radio stations – wasn't my career of choice but still amazing what kind of results I was able to achieve.

Take singing lessons. You will train your voice, learn proper breathing technique and after some time you will be able to control your vice and develop your lower register.

You will also notice that having a high voice as a guy is a perk when it comes to singing. Learn those 3-4 guitar chords as well and impress the ladies with you angel-like singing voice.

Increased testosterone. Anabolic steroids can do this, but don't take stranger on the internet's word for it. Investigate it thoroughly before fucking with your hormones.

There is a way to deepen your voice and it does not involve drugs or diet. It is just like any other muscle in your body. You have to train it, properly. What you do, is to get out to places where you have to yell, like night clubs or stadiums. If you go out and yell, the next morning you will have a slightly sore throught. That is the trainings work. If you keep doing that, your voice will naturally default to lower pitch tones. Your body will train itself to use less energy to resonate your voice. Singing is not a good way to train your voice, as you make your voice adjust to higher pitches too. What you only need is yelling. Public speakers are a great example as most of them have to yell to be heard. If you ever heard them talk when they are off stage, you will notice that most of them have a natural lower voice.

There's not really a lot you can do. I've looked into this a lot myself.

The only thing you can do different if you're not already doing it already is to speak from your chest and make sure you have full lungs before you begin speaking. If you're voice is still high, you're pretty much stuck with it.

What I do is just speak loud and clear. Likely has the same effect. Lately, I've been becoming such a cocky fuck I swear I'm developing an accent.

Effort, habit, reflex, breathe deeper, force your voice lower. If a man can sing he can choose to sing lower notes and it's like that but for speaking. And less air out the nose when speaking.

I'm a singer who pays constant attention to my voice quality and I've found my best success with NoFap. I'm also beginning to take ZMA supplements (and working out), and this is helping too.

Smoking. Yes, it's bad and yadda yadda yadda, but it does deepen your voice.

Have you tried hitting puberty?

Google seems to give good results.
