No since there really is no such thing, unless... Well if it means being fairly monotone then maybe. I can change my monotone voice when at home around close friends and family, but not as easy when at work or out in public. I have social anxiety maybe, not sure.

I have long had a bit of an odd prosody about my speech [alternately monotonic and singsong, alternately too slow and too fast, too high-pitched and too low-pitched, too quiet alternating with too loud].

I don't know if I have the pitch and tonality issues--nobody's told me either way--but appropriate volume is an issue for me. I often speak too loudly or too softly without realizing it.

I kept getting sshhhh'ed in libraries.
