Do you have a MONOTONE voice? 

My 3 Part Communication Skills Course: gifts.vinhgiang.com/youtube

It breaks my heart to see myself sound monotonic. I am fighting to talk with good intonation

I'm monotone with my voice. Because I'm always bored with talking to people on superficial level. Also I don't express myself to strangers so easily.

Wowwww, thank for knowledge

That's why Italians and Spanish always sound interesting!

When people watch other people gesticulate (wave hands when talking) they excite the inferior frontal and posterior temporal regions of the brain. Brocas area and wernickes areas reside in these regions, respectively. By observing people with strokes in these regions, we can deduce their roles. Brocas area allows for fluidity of speech - - people with damage here stammer. Wernickes area allows a person to speak with actual meaning. Damage here leads to very fluent but entirely meaningless talk (e.g. Torque the kitchen fridge to 10 radians). Thus, watching people gesticulate excites two brain regions associated with language understanding AND production (keep in mind that researchers showed people talking without sound, so just hands) . I hypothesize that the neurons exciting upon seeing gesticulation are mirror neurons: that is, they excite both when seeing someone do something or when doing something. Thus, by you yourself gesticulating, you are enhancing the functioning of your brain regions in charge of the fluency and meaning of your speech.

Finally someone to talk about it. I have this feeling sometimes but i studied acting and i use my body language. Maybe i have it mostly on long phone calls because then i use only my voicee.... thank youu

Vinh you're truly amazing, I just realized the difference between using body language and not using it.

Everyone of your videos actually teach people something. I love them all and your awesome keep it up

This makes so much sense. i tend to talk with my hands and the times i dont ppl think im sad or despessed because i sound different.

Great point. If you're not the guy that jumps up smiling and hugs someone to greet them, then you probably won't speak like that guy.

Italians having no issue with this 😂👍🤣

okay but this is such a helpful tip. this video came off as super not HD due to my shitty connection and i decided to use my body language first before complaining. work like a charm.

I definitely have a monotone voice and I need to work on my body language, thanks for pointing it out

Gems.....thank you. Wish I had known these 35 years back

actually u right

Thanks a lot sir . Ooh my goodness that I am watching this video . sir you are telling that your body is connected your voice and your voice is connected your body. For me this line is heart touching . 😊😊😊❤

I have it about myself .. I can the point where I lose someone's attention everytime I try to talk or rush a sentence ... I've even seen in myself finding it hard to keep attention with someone who's monotone so I know it's not there fault.. I would love to change this..

Besides all the perfect advices, The Mic Dropping you do in the start, is always so mesmerising man!

Wait. This is crazy. I'm autistic and very monotone, both in voice and body language. But when I get my body moving, my voice gets moving too. I never thought to make that connection. Wow.

The first time I had the pleasure to see and hear your videos. 👍☺️

Thank you once again!

What if your actually permanently monotone.

I need to send this to my English Professor😂

yea what if youre throwing up the craziest gesticulation combinations and u still osund like you're making a sarcastic joke

I love this

When are you coming to Singapore for workshop!!

And it also come when there is superior laryngeal nerve injury 😂

You know the drill subscribe to this guy. I have learned so much I didn’t know I needed in a few days just because of him. Thank you. 😊 Keep up the good content 💕

I can relate. He is absolutely telling the truth

Not really, I'm more concerned of getting the impression that people think I'm awkward and stupid. 😅

My friends say that I have a VERY monotone voice but they say I don’t really need to show emotion with my voice cause I express myself a lot with my body

No, I’m afraid of looking like an idiot - solve that problem and I’d be Cicero

No , im afraid to sound dumb infront of my peers/clients lol

yall cant change it until u start ur own startup business

honestly i like my deep monotone voice lol

My biggest concern about myself speaking is am I exposing myself as a stupid person, or a fake? I'm very expressive, so I'd be shocked if I have ever spoken in a monotone way.

I want my voice to be memorable but I was taught to sit on my hands in job interviews😭😂

Follow for long time and new subscriber

yes, in general my voice is very monotone, i need more tips than body language!

Some of us are monotone because it is a symptom of our autism.

i was hopeful vinh wld say “however, people don’t realise that a monotone voice… is very charismatic” so i wldn’t have to work on mine 😂😂😂

I find it funny, I come from a part of Denmark where our dialect is very monotone, even compared to other danes

Dis the guy from fabulous beasts?

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) melted butter 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3 large eggs 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup Hershey's cocoa 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Line an 8-inch square metal pan with foil and grease only the bottom of the foil. In a large mixing bowl combine melted butter, sugar and vanilla with a wooden spoon until well blended. Add eggs and beat well with spoon until creamy. In a small bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, beating gently until well mixed. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until brownies appear set and begin to pull away from the sides of the pan. Remove from the oven and cool the brownies completely in pan on wire rack. Cut brownies into desired size and shape. Your welcome

I have a monotoned voice so I try to make exaggerated facial expressions so hopefully nobody points it out. I’ve been like this for awhile and it’s hard for me to not sound monotoned.

I like monotone not gonna lie

Im afraid when sober

No wonder I suddenly sound squeaky when I am rushing or happy.

True!!!!

My issue is that I feel like I don't really have anything of value to offer, most of the time. Or at least what I do have to offer isn't really 'marketable'. For example, in my school age years, I spent a lot of time learning about various militaria, firearms, small unit tactics. Anything that went boom or bang, slash or bash, I was into it. I just thought it was cool/neat. (Still do.) I've been training in martial arts since 1990. But I couldn't talk about any of that in my public speaking classes at school. (not without a lot of trouble.) Or explain what I knew about tracking. Or gaming (been an avid gamer all my life.) Some of it, I could probably discuss now. But there are so many better-qualified experts out there. This story repeats over and over. So what could I possibly say that would be of value, of interest, of usefulness... that hasn't already been said. Sure, I know more than a rank beginner in many subects. But I'm rarely qualified enough to be an 'expert' in any field. (Except maybe a few narrow categories?)

How ?

Is that why Christina Aguilera throws one hand up when she hits her high notes?

No wonder I tend to have a monotone voice, everything I think or do is in a logical and emotionless act.

I am trying, Mom

Some people are tone deaf, making it very very difficult for them to not sound monotone. My girlfriend can't tell the difference between notes on a piano 5 semitones apart. As a result, she speaks in a monotone voice. She didn't realise there is "mmm" (yes) and "mmm" (no), because she can't hear the tonality, she thought it always meant yes

I am physically incapable of doing a monotone voice.

Damn im doomed

But why must one invest so much energy into getting a message through? To make a greater impact ? Why? So that they take you seriously? And if they don't, you feel like shit? Why should you feel that way? So once again what does investing so much energy to get a message across give you. Won't you run out of energy, grow weary and exhausted of communicating itself? Although energy is unlimited, as we keep exerting to release them that exertion will in turn change to exhaustion.

I respectfully disagree I speak with my hands and I still have a monotone

People with high pitch voices are annoying I love my monotone voice. My husband says it’s sexy and soothing

God loves you so repent of your sins and be baptized..He gave His life for you so that you could have forgiveness of sins and eternal life when He comes again..and remember to keep His sabbath day Holy which is Saturday

Michael Jackson Billy Jean is proof of this 😉

Like everyone that works in HR… departments…

Is this actually true??

What’s monotone in voice?

Fr

I'm afraid I'll be misinterpreted

but I’m autistic and this happens sometimes I notice it

I hate monotone voices so much now and it's surprisingly common with Americans for some reason

That is the most ridiculous thing i've heard 😑

Correct me if I am wrong. I have the feeling that he uses his hands too much. He changes his gestures too many times. I think that's a lot!
