Day 1: How are you?

Welcome to Day 1! I'm so excited that you're joining me on this intonation journey!

We start the 30 day challenge with a simple question that you ask all the time:

How are you?

In fact, you may have practiced the question so many times over the years that you don't usually think about how it sounds.

Let's change that - and learn how to use your tone more effectively.

You can change your stress and choose a different intonation pattern to show a variety of emotions, including interest, excitement, concern, worry, sympathy, and annoyance.

Watch the video once, and then go back, repeat the video, and pause to practice as many times as necessary.

Remember, you may need to replace the default intonation you've developed over time.

With practice, the different patterns will become more familiar to you, and you'll notice that you sound more expressive.

You can also apply these intonation patterns to similar expressions.
