Why can I sing better in the morning?
Your vocal cords are slightly swollen in the morning. The increased mass means that given the same tension on the vocal ligament, you will produce a lower sound. The “pitch” of a whisper is a different matter altogether. When you whisper, your vocal cords are not vibrating.
Why is it easier to sing low in the morning?
Our voices are lower in the morning because the vocal cords and the subtle musculature which surrounds our larynx are in a state of relaxation from resting the voice overnight.
Why does my singing voice sound better at night?

Why do I sing better in the night than in the day?
So when we first rise from a good night’s sleep, our muscles, including our laryngeal muscles, are relatively deactivated. The simple effect on our voices is one of being able to sing lower because our vocal folds are able to shorten more easily because they don’t have the acquired toning from a full day’s use.
Why is my voice bad in the morning?
Mucus on the vocal cords can stop them from coming together fully and cause them to vibrate irregularly. When the vocal cords don’t come together fully, it gives the voice a breathy tone (another symptom of morning voice), and when they vibrate irregularly, we hear that as distortion – a hoarse voice.

A deeper voice in the morning is an inevitable result of a good night’s rest.
