Explore Your Pitch in American English 🎶 Pitch Stress Intonation and Tone of Voice 🎵 🔊

I don't understand how to use pitch. Why can't I hear pitch in my own voice? What's the difference between pitch and volume? Are they the same thing? They sound like it. How do you use pitch to communicate meaning in English? What does tone mean in English? Is English a tonal language? What's the difference between pitch stress and intonation? Some people talk about them as if they're the same thing. In this video, I answer the most common questions you ask me about pitch, stress, tone, and intonation. Learn how we use pitch in American English to communicate meaning. Explore your voice with these pitch and volume practice exercises!

    Here's where to start: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hWaJxaV-lM21Z9Y.html This is the same exercise I share in the video, but it's just a simple exploration of pitch. I find that it's more complicated to talk about pitch than to actually USE it. It becomes easier to use your voice effectively with practice and experimentation. Just give it a try and see what happens!

    That's a great idea. Due to copyright concerns, I don't feel comfortable sharing analysis videos on my KZread channel. That said, you can definitely hear the four main pitch levels in his voice, even though his natural speaking voice is lower. I encourage you to listen to a very short clip and see what you can hear for yourself. Which words are content words? Which are focus words? I often recommend listening to this interview between Bob Goff and Lewis Howes for obvious pitch variation in male voices. Bob's in particular is extra clear: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qYycycSgXZbXlsY.html
