Pitch is determined by the length and thickness of the vocal cords. It depends on the frequency at which your vocal cords vibrate. When it is stretched, it vibrates with a higher frequency and voice becomes shriller. When they contract, they vibrate with a lower frequency, and the voice goes deeper.
