Not that they make the voice deeper - but there is some kind of shortening or other physiological affect on the vocal chords. There was also an interview with Linda Thompson posted here a few months back that spoke of her almost complete loss of voice from just that which has now been resolved by botox injections> I would say this is definitely one of many factors in Joni's voice change. I have heard Joan Baez mention on a couple of occasions that she had to see a voice teacher and learn to sing all over again when she hit menopause. Jenny Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
