Three Ways to Make Intonation + The first way is to just get louder or raise the volume. This is not a very sophisticated way of doing it, but it will definitely command attention. + The second way is to streeeeetch the word out or lengthen the word that you want to draw attention to (which sounds very insinuating). + The third way, which is the most refined, is to change pitch. Although pausing just before changing the pitch is effective, you dont want to do it every time, because then it becomes an obvious technique. However, it will make your audience stop and listen because they think youre going to say something interesting.

Hello, my name is__________________. Im taking American Accent Training. Theres a lot to learn, but I hope to make it as enjoyable as possible. I should pick up on the American intonation pattern pretty easily, although the only way to get it is to practice all of the time. I use the up and down, or peaks and valleys, intonation more than I used to. Ive been paying attention to pitch, too. Its like walking down a staircase. Ive been talking to a lot of Americans lately, and they tell me that Im easier to understand. Anyway, I could go on and on, but the important thing is to listen well and sound good. Well, what do you think? Do I? Syllable Count Intonation Patterns 1 Syllable A B C Pattern 1a la! get
