What is vocal variety and how can you get some in your speaking voice? Vocal variety is a communications skill that enables the speaker to engage the listener by using different speeds and tones while talking. Most people lean on a handful of notes in their speech pattern. But when we get brave and experiment with notes that are above and below our normal speaking range, vocal variety is born and our voice is more interesting to listen to. Vocal variety is the opposite of monotone and in this episode, I give you some examples of how to get vocal variety by practicing out loud on your own. If you add vocal variety to your speech pattern you will up your game immediately as a communicator.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
