Best Answer

An octave is a defined difference in frequency between two notes. Dropping your voice an octave means to deepen (lower) the frequency of the sound produced by your vocal cords. Singers and actors often do this while performing; it is more difficult to deliberately drop the frequency of your speech in normal conversation. This also happens to young men during puberty, when the vocal chords change in response to the increased concentration of testosterone.
