Adam's apple

[Ratman1234]

Why are some people's Adam's apples visible?
Does it affect the pitch of voice?
Can one make their Adam's apple visible?
Is your Adam's apple visible?
If so by how much?
How deep is your voice on a scale of 1-10 (1 being very squeaky and 10 being very deep)
These are just a few questions I was curious about. Thx

Why are some people's Adam's apples visible? Because their voice has broken, but it's also to do with fat levels as well (a skinnier person will have a narrower neck so trot Adam's Apple may show more)
Does it affect the pitch of voice? Generally, yes
Can one make their Adam's apple visible? I don't think so - it's normal, and every guy has one so you just have to get used to it being there
Is your Adam's apple visible? Yes
If so by how much? Very
How deep is your voice on a scale of 1-10 (1 being very squeaky and 10 being very deep) probably a 9

Why are some people's Adam's apples visible? I think people's weight might have something to do with it.
Does it affect the pitch of voice? If you're talking about the question above then I believe not but if you mean people's adam's apple in general then yes
Can one make their Adam's apple visible? Not to my knowledge
Is your Adam's apple visible? No but you can feel it
If so by how much?
How deep is your voice on a scale of 1-10 (1 being very squeaky and 10 being very deep) 8

Why are some people's Adam's apples visible?

This is a combination of the relative size of the larynx (voice box) and the neck. A large larynx in a thin neck will be very visible. A small larynx in a thick neck will not be noticeable. Other combinations are more of less noticeable.

Does it affect the pitch of voice?

The size of the larynx affects the pitch of the voice, i.e. the lowest and highest frequencies that can be produced (or the range of notes that can be sung). That only one of two factors that affect your perception of whether someone has a deep voice or not the other being vocal tract resonance.

Referring to the answer to your first question a heavily built chap may have a large larynx and a deep voice but also a thick neck that doesn't make it very obvious.

Can one make their Adam's apple visible?

If you're fat you could loose weight and your neck may get thinner, assuming at least some of the fat was there. If your neck is thick due to strong neck muscles, though, there isn't much you can do. You also can't will your larynx to grow.

Is your Adam's apple visible?

Partially - the notch in the front of the thyroid cartilage is visible. There again my neck is 18" (girth).

How deep is your voice on a scale of 1-10 (1 being very squeaky and 10 being very deep)

On that scale I'd guess at 7. That assuming 1-5 are "boy voice" and 6-10 are "man voice". To use another scale (used in classical singing) I am a lyric baritone. Baritone is the middle and most common category of man's voice with bass being deeper and tenor being higher. Within baritone "lyric" is toward the higher end and "dramatic" is toward the lower end.

I will throw out that I have a relatively large Apple and despite popular belief my voice is relatively high pitched.
