Do you ever feel like you speak monotone in English?
In this episode, Aubrey from the amazing All Ears English podcast is here to talk about how monotone speech can affect your IELTS speaking score (and the other ways it can impact you!)
In this conversation, we talk about:
- Why sounding monotone can lower your IELTS pronunciation score
- What examiners actually listen for in the speaking test
- Why monotone speech makes people tune out in real conversations
- How nerves and overthinking affect your voice
- Why feeling "fake" when you change your intonation is normal
- How to practice sounding more expressive
Whether you are preparing for IELTS or simply want to sound more confident and expressive in English, this episode will help you understand how to work on it!
