- How do you eliminate a monotone voice? Most voices have 20 to 30 notes in them, yet we tend to hover around the same two or three notes all of the time. Here's an exercise you can do called a "slide."
Imagine the word HEY starts at the top of your head and travels down the body like an elevator. Can you start on a high pitch and end on low pitch?

hello my fellow no range people
Hahahahaha hello
Hi, there xdd
Halow..ahhahha
melee speakers unite :p
Bye I read that in the most dead voice ever 💀
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 feel your pain. I have the same issue lol
If no one laughs at your "fantastic" jokes then they aren't fantastic and they probably aren't even jokes. I'm monotone as well and I get a few laughs here and there
Shawnt Grigorian oh wow. Good job at making a couple of people laugh here and there. my funny little monotoned superhero.
Shawnt Grigorian nah, you’re much more superior than I. I can’t make people laugh here and there.
Shawnt Grigorian Im hoping you could tell, means you could read what I said. That’s two things you can do. Amazing.
Now I sound fake
😂😂😂
Now I sound like James Charles
Lol
😂😂😂
BAHAHAHAHA..... same
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.
How's it going so far?
Same boat. You have an update?
@@theadventurer247 getting there. Whenever i talk to people now, I keep in mind about the monotone so I try to speak in different pitches but not go too far. So far it's helpful.
Good tip, I will practice this!
If you feel pain, you probably strain in some place too much, check videos about strains
1:08 that's how im gonna greet colleagues at work
Nikola Kolchakov Same
So how's this working out for you?
@@dastanharris you need to get some humor dude😂
gag
😂😂😂
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
same wat did u do
Sameeeee
same, i always sound dis-interested even when i am.
@@FlareChargerMLPAnimeFan I have the exact same problem it's so irritating
@@Jay-sg2ko Nice to know i'm not alone
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
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
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 have a naturally deep voice and I sound very monotone. Whenever I try to put some emotion to my voice, it just feels weird
bro, same here
Honestly, if it is weird to you - it does not mean it is weird to others. You never spoke this way before, keep doing it and it will feel more natural along the way. Good luck :)
@@rimantasbalciunas1836 Its kinda like listening to a recording of yourself talking. It sounds weird to you but to everyone else it sounds fine (unless its a recording of you violently screaming)
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?
BillDotree I am the same
I realized that when I speak to certain people my voice becomes more lively so that might be something
I also find that I am more monotone when I am insecure during a conversation and then I see the person tunes out completely which causes more insecurity. Vicious cycle. Over the years this has made me more insecure in large groups. When I was younger I was way more outgoing. Now it's just painful in group settings. I'm super anxious all the time.
@@jenniferbaird9093 You might have social anxiety.
Sounds like social anxiety.
I CANT EVEN REACH THE HIGHER NOTES. My voice just stops
Same lol
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
Would you mind hearing my second video on my channel and let me know if I sound monotone or weird to you? I hate my voice with a passion at the moment and so here I am in this comment section to this strange video lol.
You don’t have to if you don’t want of course.
I have no clue if I sound ok or monotone or just shit in general.
My voice is also deep for a girl :|
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 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 it normal to feel REALLY tired after trying to be expressive?
I mean to an extent but if it takes that much effort you may not be neurotypical
I have a very expressive face but a monotone voice. It really effects my acting
i hate my voice so much and people have made negative remarks about it.
sameeee
same. like when im happy or excited it just sounds like im ebing fake abt it. or im just a grumpy person in general. and dik bt u but i have that one aunt that always makes remarks abt the things i do or say.and she is so stubborn she doesn't believe me when i say that i'm not moody this is my natural voice
i've always loved monotone voices
@@jadajohnson5733 why?
@@rihana_1604I hate judgmental people like her. People just assume the worst without taking into account that there's a back story to everything.
Thank you Cathy. I've learned something new today...God bless you!
Excellent. Short, clear, helpful. Brilliant.
I loved your video, it really explains what a monotone voice sounds like thank you so much
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.
Did you get to be the public speaker you aspired to be?
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
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.
How can i fight this video?
doxxing and spam
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.
lol people think im depressed when they hear my voice
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.
you helped me so much with this, thank you! I am now watching you again and training :D
What i was looking for, thanks! More power!
thank you so much cathy! i'm sure going to try this out
Okay UA-cam, I see you reccomending this to me.
I am so monotone even your geography teacher will fall asleep listening to me
but im monotone thats just who I am, if I talk like this I feel like I sound and come off as fake
Wow. Very interesting, now I can swear after watching your video that I am a monotone speaker! This video helped me a lot!
Thank you, Cathy
Thank you. This will be really helpful.
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
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
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.
Useful video thank you
This should help with my public speaking class his semester. Thanks!
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
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.
Montone voice combine with resting sad face.. im CURSED!!
Morgan Freeman has a monotone voice, and everyone listens to him. What gives?
Col. Angus his Voice is not monotone it’s just very deep, and he does have some variation in tone
rt
Magnolia Trees in the Meadow where did you get your knowledge from? Show me. Resonance and timbre...intriguing
lolll
His voice isn't monotone. Low deep voice but it still has intonation in his voice it's not same pitch.
2:25 🤣 sounding natural
Lmao
omg thank you so much
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
that smile 😊
for how long and I would love to take whole course about this.
Thank you mam
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.
My voice is monotone due all of the mental anguish I've experienced over the years. I can barely show emotion anymore
hey
Tried this on my friends. Now they think I was replaced by a lizard
Holarious dude. Tell this with a pitch variety haha
I tried the slide thing and my "hey" lasted about 1 second lmao. My voice is naturally kinda deep so it's rough for me.
Should we implement that strategy in our every word that we are using.
This is very helpful tho. My struggles in my existence they tend to think i am a poker.
Please how do you Identify mono tone in music
Hello Kathy with a C, I am Caden.
I feel like you have to really change yourself from the inside.
This is true
Recently started making UA-cam videos and after one video got 90 thousand views I was told by dozens of people my voice is condescending and monotone :(
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
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
It has been over 1 year, did anything work?
@@FactsChannel-vs4vt I haven't seen a speech pathologist and I never received a reply on this comment. Instead, I have practiced speaking in a really deep voice for 60 sec for a total of 3 sets using vowels O, U and A. I've been doing this off and on and it has def strengthened my vocal cords by, I'd say, 15% percent or so. However, it's temporary and will not last more than one week without consistent training.
As far as the brain-tongue connection, I am still a bit monotoned but I speak a little louder when I strengthen my voice. It makes the voice carry a bit more, so it gives the illusion of confidence
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
Hope it's not too late for me learn.
just visit Italy
Didn't help. I need to know what to do with my muscles.
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
I feel u bro, same thing for me.
So monotonous and soft , are they the same ?
Yeah I’ve been wondering the same thing because I’m so confused about my voice. I’ve been soft spoken all my life and people told me that and how they couldn’t hear me and then this year, some people started to say my voice is monotone. Like I’m confused, I never heard someone say that about my voice until this year and I spoke the same all my life.
I’m watching this high and I’m scared now
Why?
My people
my voice is so monotone and i cant change it
whenever i try this i sound like i am faking my voice
Doesn't work at all
My voice so monotone and very low sound.
Siri has less monotony than my voice.
Comes naturally when you graduate university perhaps?
How long should I practice?
If you can find the time, practice the exercises once a day. Cathy
Raise Your Voice Coaching Thank you!
LOJETE85 did it work
When I’m enthusiastic my voice sounds better, but most of the time it’s monotonous 😭😭😭
Lol, 12345 come off really bland from my mouth. Like, 1-2-3-4-5
That's the combination on my luggage!
It's freaking 2021. Why aren't there any instant effective ways to get rid of monotone voice? Tired of all bs improvement videos
Best way, find a person in media whose voice you like. Watch clips of them. Imitate them in voice recording. Do it again. Again. Keep going till you're able to imitate them reliably.
Next is the hardest step. Bringing their speech pattern to the rest of your life. Practise imitating them in unscripted scenarios. Describing your house. Record, evaluate.
Finally, bring the energy into conversations with people. It will feel weird. But stay conscious of it. You have to be thinking about it until your bad habits are finally broken.
Good luck.
Like I have vocal range but I also have autism
My wife says "your voice is boring its so monotone"
Me: "baby is sleeping" hahaha
id say the same thing about my wifes voice if she was like that to me
Me at 3am : HEYYYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
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??
hmmm..so monotone is my regular voice. i feel attacked lol
I want the opposite
my voice stays flat
I sound so poor on a phone call 😢

Dt Master it's* videos* not vidios '_'

You can eliminate a monotone voice by not speaking. You can correct a monotone voice through intonation.
NO I WANT THE MONOTONE VOICE
