Why do some people have stronger voice than others?

I can't speak very loud (like when giving a lecture) but there are people that have really strong voice. I'm wondering what's the physical attribute that determines the strength of someone's voice?

The shape of chest and neck,and the position of the tongue may have an impact on pitch, volume, timbre, or tone of the sound produced.

Don't have any reference but I'd guess it's the volume of the lung, pressure it can generate, and the capacity of your voice box to resonate. I have a very thin voice as well, if I have to give a talk it's really a problem. There isn't very much one can do about it. Right breathing helps to maximize pressure, but at least I get easily out of breath. If I can get a microphone, I could kiss the organizers of the conference!

Besides this it's of course self-confidence.

I have a very loud tone to my voice. I often get in trouble because my voice is so loud.  I'm just wondering if there are any type of devices out there to help me monitor the loudness of my voice.  I do not have any type of hearing loss.
