Helium is not only used to fill up balloons, but is also used in medicines and medical equipment. And as you noted, it will give you a high-pitched voice for a short period of time if inhaled. While the squeaky voice can be a crowd-pleasing party trick, huffing helium isnât always all fun and games.
The length and thickness of the vocal cords, however, are not the only factors that affect one's pitch. The pitch of someone's voice can also be affected by emotions, moods and inflection. Interestingly, our emotions can also affect the pitch of our voices. When people become frightened or excited, the muscles around the voice box (or larynx) unconsciously contract, putting strain on the vocal cords, making the pitch higher. Again, not all pitch change is done unconsciously.
