Good English Intonation uses 8 tones for stress, which is the pitch change. Our voice uses a higher tone for the stressed word or syllable to give it emphasis. We also use glides which can go down or up to bring attention to the important content words, last noun in the sentence, for inflection, unfinished thoughts and questions.
This 8 Note Scale exercise increases the capacity of your vocal chords to use all 8 tones. Record yourself and listen back to see if you can do the steps and glides. This will make a dramatic change in the way you speak to sound more American. Remember, it should feel strange or sound weird, or you're not changing anything. Good luck. Let me know how you do. Please like and share. Cheers, Donna
