Eliminating a Monotone Voice | Raise Your Voice Coaching 

hello my fellow no range people

Im so monotoned it’s not even funny . I make fantastic jokes and very sarcastic but no one knows this but me cause,everone else thinks I’m serious lol 😂😩

I only found out when I'm finally in my mid 20's that I've been monotonous my whole life.. so I started practicing by reading books out loud. It really hurts my throat but I hope that when I finally make progress, I'll get used to the non-monotonous voice and not feel pain in my throat.

1:08 that's how im gonna greet colleagues at work

So like I'm the (internally) hyperactive teenager who speaks their mind but jokes around alot and I realized that I have a habitually monotone voice and it makes it hard to express myself when Im talking and now everyone thinks I'm the sarcastic apathetic small fry and that's only partially true and I need to get it out of the way since I have to voice act for a few of my own things send help

the thing is, the tone that seemed a bit awkward is completely normal to other people. In fact it may even sound better to them. Try to use that tone. It worked for me, with the help of this exercise of course

Now I sound fake

I used to have such an expressive voice but depression and anxiety has made me sound monotonous and low. I still have that expressive voice in my head and even when I text but its been years since I last talked like that so it just never comes out the way I want too, and its made especially harder due to puberty. Its very frustrating

I have a naturally deep voice and I sound very monotone. Whenever I try to put some emotion to my voice, it just feels weird

My friends think when I’m delivering lectures that I don’t have a bad voice. But when I record myself so that I could make video tutorials for our teachers, I hate my voice. Really hate it! :(

I don't know if it's my voice myself that makes it sound monotone, or if I'm really bored/insecure during communication so I don't want to express my voice. What do you think?

I it normal to feel REALLY tired after trying to be expressive?

I didn’t even know I had a monotone voice until someone joked about it. I literally say everything in the same emotion. I can’t help it. My voice is quite deep for a girl as well so that doesn’t help

Thank you Cathy. I've learned something new today...God bless you!

I have always talked in a monotone voice and your right people think I am not interested in talking to them. Good tips on changing it! Since I am an aspiring public speaker, a salesperson, and I do videos, I couldn't talk in a monotone voice and get very far. I worked on it and have made good improvements, I did a video on how I fixed my voice.

In my university, i was part of a society where we promote the environment/environment friendly alternatives. One member came up with a brilliant idea for something, and I thought it was fantastic! So i said, "that's a really cool idea" but I was so dammed monotoned that she thought i was being sarcastic and was against the idea. I felt bad because she felt the need to explain it to me afterwards 😅

I CANT EVEN REACH THE HIGHER NOTES. My voice just stops

How can i fight this video?

I love that I’ve finally found people that i feel I belong in, genuinely its just how i talk but people mistake it as seriousness

I would do humming warm up excercises a montone i think is the result of not using your vocal muscles as much as someone who sings regularly you can notice a difference in voice. Vocal muscles are just like any muscles you dont use you lose, so essentially people who are self concious of their voice might have underdeveloped vocal muscles.

I have a very expressive face but a monotone voice. It really effects my acting

I always found monotone voices attractive. If people want to change their voice, cool! But I love my friends' voices?? Quite a number have them, I've always loved it- might inbox them that since there seems to be a lot of negativity about it. But this video is cool for people who do want to change it.

i hate my voice so much and people have made negative remarks about it.

Idk how to talk in none monotone and everyone points it out and says I sound high all the time I’m so sick of it I have never had weed in my life

I am so monotone even your geography teacher will fall asleep listening to me

I loved your video, it really explains what a monotone voice sounds like thank you so much

lol people think im depressed when they hear my voice

I only realized my voice was monotone when i was watching my friend's stream, i was like "wtf i taught i sounded high pitched" bc in my head i sound like that, i didnt know i sounded so depressed and monotone help even tho i actually might be depressed i dont wanna sound like that

Excellent. Short, clear, helpful. Brilliant.

Okay RU-vid, I see you reccomending this to me.

Finding this helpful/. Cathy, what specific advice do you have for people with deep voices? Finding the depth of my voice is my biggest challenge in developing vocal variety

but im monotone thats just who I am, if I talk like this I feel like I sound and come off as fake

This should help with my public speaking class his semester. Thanks!

Wow. Very interesting, now I can swear after watching your video that I am a monotone speaker! This video helped me a lot!

2:25 🤣 sounding natural

Plz keep doing such videos. It's really helpful. Expecting this channel to grow, it deserves more. Kindly create more content videos like this. Thanks.

Thank you for the tips.

Montone voice combine with resting sad face.. im CURSED!!

you helped me so much with this, thank you! I am now watching you again and training :D

My voice is monotone due all of the mental anguish I've experienced over the years. I can barely show emotion anymore

Tried this on my friends. Now they think I was replaced by a lizard

My voice has been monotone my whole life, even as a child, and by child, I mean like 9 years old. My voice has always been monotone for no reason.

Siri has less monotony than my voice.

personally i don’t think i have a monotone voice, but people have told me i have one and it makes me creepy or weird… so……. that makes me feel great about myself.

Hey Cathy, thanks for the vid. I am very monotoned and it has destroyed many relationships and potential friendships. My social status and confidence is almost non-existent. I am now trying everything in my power to overcome this thing, so I have a few questions: 1. Can being monotone be a sign of a speech pathology? 2. Issues dealing with speech is usually a Broca's area problem. Is there some form of therapy that can correct how your brain processes speech? 3. With the lesson in this vid using different pitches, is there a preferred pitch to use that exudes more confidence or humor? For example, would the 12345 be used by someone who would be perceived as humorous, confident or intelligent or would that be the 54321? In other words, what patterns of tone are most preferred by listeners? (If that makes sense). Thank you for your time

Im my elementary schools is was mandatory to have some kid of musical, arts and gym connection to our core classes of course. I remember having to learn tempo later having to sing in an assembly and I had to raise and lower the tempo in my voice

I feel like you have to really change yourself from the inside.

Thank you, Cathy

Thanks it was short and yet I think I have learned a lot from that thanks I will try recording my boring voice using this technique

thank you so much cathy! i'm sure going to try this out

i struggle with making my voice sound like i actually give a crap. 3/4 of the time i don’t. my voice is just really deep and i can really only make it sound more from my stomach (aka projecting), can’t really do anything else with it.

hey

What i was looking for, thanks! More power!

It's freaking 2021. Why aren't there any instant effective ways to get rid of monotone voice? Tired of all bs improvement videos

Thank you. This will be really helpful.

Thanks

Morgan Freeman has a monotone voice, and everyone listens to him. What gives?

This is very helpful tho. My struggles in my existence they tend to think i am a poker.

Useful video thank you

Hello Kathy with a C, I am Caden.

Thank you mam

for how long and I would love to take whole course about this.

My wife says "your voice is boring its so monotone" Me: "baby is sleeping" hahaha

Should we implement that strategy in our every word that we are using.

Recently started making RU-vid videos and after one video got 90 thousand views I was told by dozens of people my voice is condescending and monotone :(

I’m a teenager and I speak monotone due to a speech impediment and it makes me feel sad when my partner doesn’t understand I’m not upset or annoyed by them at all I just can’t convey personality into my voice

I’m watching this high and I’m scared now

Me at 3am : HEYYYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

My voice is just naturally way too slow and deep even when I think I am portraying emotion people still tell me I sound robotic, I've just hated it ever since I can remember

So monotonous and soft , are they the same ?

It's really shocking that people find my voice to be unenthusiastic and I'm at a point where I adopted it as a part of my identity One main reason I don't like changing the tone of my voice is because I think I would be faking it, and my way of being authentic is to just talk without thinking about pitch. I come across as passionless and tired but I'm not. It's almost weird to me how many people all at once told me that there's something wrong with my voice, and every time I try to add some variation I end up feeling fake and pretentious. It's like a dilemma, either change to please people or stay me and be off putting

hmmm..so monotone is my regular voice. i feel attacked lol

You can eliminate a monotone voice by not speaking. You can correct a monotone voice through intonation.

omg thank you so much

Hope it's not too late for me learn.

Comes naturally when you graduate university perhaps?

My people

Please how do you Identify mono tone in music

Like I have vocal range but I also have autism

When I’m enthusiastic my voice sounds better, but most of the time it’s monotonous 😭😭😭

Hello fellow Ai

nice lessons mam like your vedios make more vedios

I wonder if people even wanna be expressive in their voices anymore. Everywhere I go I hear emotionless speaking, especially the ones in their 20's, they wanna be perceived as cool, and that comes with a monotone voice. No emotions, nothing! It's intentional. It's what society wants, it seems.

First exercise Heeeeeeyyyyyy 2nd exercise Heeeeeeyyyyyy??

my voice is so monotone and i cant change it

My voice so monotone and very low sound.

Didn't help. I need to know what to do with my muscles.

You sound like Kris Jenner! I wonder if voice has to do with the era one grows up in.

Lol, 12345 come off really bland from my mouth. Like, 1-2-3-4-5

Doesn't work at all
