Edit: can you please share some tips on breathing techniques while using this three types of an intonations in a casual conversations. I have a monotonous voice, very need your help and guide.

    Thank you for the thoughtful comment and super kind words! I am definitely trying to show people that using your pitch and intonation effectively is about connecting and communicating clearly. The most effective speakers are not afraid to use the full range of their voices. That said, I am always learning what else I can do with my voice - that's part of the fun of teaching these skills!

    Rising and falling intonation can be confusing, as the patterns vary among languages. With practice, it gets easier to hear (and create) the different pitch and intonation patterns.

    Welcome to my channel! That is a great question. There are a lot of apps out there for both musicians and singers. I have the Soundcorset app on my phone and it can track the pitch levels. I don't think you can go wrong with any that have decent reviews - experiment and see what gives you the details you want.
