How to Make Your Voice More Expressive

Creating expression in your voice can be achieved by learning how to create natural, melodic rises and falls in the voice. People who talk with a straight tone sound monotonous, while those who speak with too much variation seem over-excited. Finding the proper balance will help you to improve other people's perception of your voice. Practice basic vocal exercises daily to help improve the expressiveness and consistency of your voice.

You don't have to speak the melodies in rhythm, take your time to expand your range of pitch.
