Male's voices are deeper because of testosterone.
This is a chemical (hormone) in our bodies that changes us during a stage called puberty.
It causes the vocal chords to thicken, and your voice box (larynx) grows and in some men becomes quite evidently pronounced.
If you've seen men with a huge bump sticking out of their neck, it probably means they have a deep voice. It's an adam's apple.
But the size isn't significant.
Take Cristiano Ronaldo for example. His adam's apple is very noticeable (and in my opinion quite horrible to look at) but Barry White's was not and yet look at his famous low key singing!
Women also do have adam's apples but they are very rarely as pronounced as most men, and also women's voices only drop a semitone or two, while men's can drop as much as an octave during latter stages of puberty.
Sorry if I droned there, just wanted to get as much info as I could there.

∙ 12y agoWhen men and women reach puberty, both experience a rise in the hormone testosterone. The level of testosterone in men increases much more than in women. The presence of more testosterone in the male's body causes the larynx (voice box) to grow and angle itself outward, creating the "Adam's Apple," and causes the vocal chords to lengthen and become thicker. This concept is similar to a guitar--the thicker strings make a deeper pitch, and if you lengthen a string (in other words, loosen it) it will sound a lower pitch as well. Women's larynx also enlarge slightly (not enough to be seen through the skin of the neck) and so they also experience a minor deepening of the voice, but not as drastically as men because men dramatically increase in testosterone levels when they reach puberty. This also explains the difference between a boy's voice and a man's.

∙ 12y agoMen have bigger Adam's apples AKA larynx AKA voice box. With the bigger larynx comes longer vocal chords, and longer vocal chords, like longer strings, give deeper notes.

Why is the larynx called Adam's apple?
The human larynx rests in a frame of cartilage bound by ligaments and muscles. At the front is the thyroid cartilage, creating the lump at the front of the neck, known as the laryngeal prominence or more commonly as the Adam's apple. Regarding the etymology of the term "Adam's apple", Webster's 1913 dictionary states that the term "… is so called from a notion that it was caused by the forbidden fruit, (an apple) sticking in the throat of our first parent." Laryngeal prominence The larynx grows during puberty in males much more than in females, and as a result the Adam's apple is typically more prominent in adult men than in women or prepubescent girls or boys. This growth of the larynx is also the reason for the voice cracking in teenage boys. The reason for the Adam's apple being more prominent in males is that the two laminae of the cartilage meet at an angle of 90° in males but that angle is 120° in females. For some transwomen, the Adam's apple remains more prominent than desired, and this is sometimes remedied by a chondrolaryngoplasty (trachea shave), a type of plastic surgery to reduce the size of the Adam's apple.

Why do some men have a more pronounced Adam's apple than others?
Some men have no visible Adam's apple, while other men have a very large, prominent one. The difference has to do with genes. In general, but not always, a larger Adam's apple results in a deeper voice. The apparent size of the Adam's apple can also relate to how thin or fat a man is.
