A good tone in English is clear, steady and natural.

I'm Jennifer Tarle with Tarle Speech and I'm here with three tips for you to sound more natural, clear and competent when you are speaking English.

Tip number one for good tone, it always goes back to this.

The resonance where your voice originates begins in your chest and it continues smoothly out of the mouth.

And as it hits the person that you are listening to, it should sound effortless.

Again starts here and it's just going to continue out.

My vocal tract is open, everything is supported, and

I am speaking on very good breath support that is continuous and steady.

I am going to allow my pitch to fall mainly at the end of a sentence.

Of course, we have pitch changes where pitch can rise at the end of a sentence, but

most of my students overuse the rising pitch.

So to avoid this, we are going to think about using the falling pitch.

We are going to think about sounding confident with the falling pitch.

And last, we are going to just think about making it as consistent as possible.

I want to be just natural and not overemphasized.

Just sort of slow and steady and neutral.

It's very moderate and I am stressing words, but I'm not overthinking it too much.

I am just being natural, using my voice projection, using my good resonance and using my falling pitch.

Please let me know in the comments which one of these tips is helping you the most.

And do you have other tips to help your fellow learners out there speak more clearly and more confidently?

I enjoyed being here with you and I hope to see you next week.
