do any of you speak with a monotone? how does one improve one’s tone? sometimes i feel so out of energy, so completely lacking in passion, that everything i say comes out dull and deadpan… like it’s a voice coming out from an old broken tape recorder. are there any techniques for improving your voice?
Re: voice tone - varying
You have to practice inflections in your voice. Tape record yourself, and play the tapes back, and practice and experiment around.

lol .. i mumble most of the time .. but thats how we do it dutty in h-town babe lol :D
Re: voice tone - varying
wunder when you come home today go to a nice park where no one can see you. Lay down on the cold grass and scream on top of your lungs. It does make you feel better.
Another thing. This world is fake put a show for them. I do it all the time sometimes its fun to act foolish and watch those retards acting like jerks.
Another thing that can strongly help a public speaking class. I havent stoped talking since then :D.
Sometimes reading out loud while standing in front of the mirror would help as well.
let me know what works
But if something died inside of you - i am sorry no one can change that but time will though...
Re: voice tone - varying
You can do one thing, buy a ‘matka’, and do riyaz in it, you soon will detect the scal where you sound best, and try to sing gana in that constant tone, when you will be able to sing a gana in that tone, speaking is no problem 
Re: voice tone - varying
great solution 
Re: voice tone - varying
thanks for the suggestions folks. i think i'll go with the public speaking class.
Re: voice tone - varying
wunder all kidding aside it actually works.
My Professor was really good. If you are out of school i will suggest this club called ToastMasters. Its an international organization. Basically you will have bunch of people sitting in a room doing speeches. I got to meet nurses, Accountants, ROTC guy and what not i that club.
They also teach you: your body languguage. HOw to speak clearly and with meaning.
There are even books out there.
I think Toastmasters annual fee is $ 75 bucks. not a bad investment. Plus they also send you a magainze once a month. I loved reading speeches in there.
Well good luck
Re: voice tone - varying
i had joined that club once cuz i had the same peoblem (and i still have it)....nia is right, its a great investment...i never went back after i graduated from SJU but i wish i had time to go there at least once a month and attend their meetings. Its really helpful.
