Do you talk in a monotonous voice tone?

Post Reply New Topic

I do it sometimes, especially around strangers and my co-workers. If it's a family or someone close, I tend to be more at ease due to familiarity and knowing that they "get" me.

I don't have this problem actually. I don't even have trouble with facial expressions, I'm actually very animated and I can make silly voices... but that might be an ADHD trait rather than Aspergers. But sometimes I do have a little bit of vocal fry

yes. people have made fun of it in the past.

My voice is pretty monotone. I sometimes try to talk with inflections, but I get told that I sound fake or unenthusiastic and wind up giving up on it.

I can sometimes get a bit monotone. I notice it a lot if I hear a recording of myself. I hate how I sound a lot of the time. I have a good voice, I just don't feel that I'm exactly the most expressive person tonally unless something really gets me going.

As far as I know, I am quite monotonous.

Sometimes. I inflect properly a lot of the time--or at least I think I do--but my voice sounds a little flat in recordings. I channel other people sometimes when I speak, too.

I chose 'sometimes', but it's not like I sometimes talk in a complete monotone, and other times a normal tone. Instead, I have very slightly less variation in tone all the time.

here is a sound clip of my voice.

I think I do it most when I'm talking to another Tech. I'll go into "Techno-Speak" mode and rattle off technical details and talk a little faster than normal. I need to learn when I'm around non-technical folks, to relax and simplify the descriptions more so it doesn't go over their heads. They'll look at me confused and say: "All I heard was Whistles and Clicks"

No , my voice has lots of inflection.

I'm often told I'm talking too fast, too slowly, too loudly, using too much enunciation (most often by my family) but never too little inflection.
