Thought for the day...Spok's favourite word is Interesting!

INTONATION:

Variation of pitch adds life and colour to your voice.

Think in terms of highs and lows or allowing the voice to rise and fall naturally. It doesn't take very much alteration of pitch to make your voice interesting.

Usually, you alter pitch for emphasis and you should do this only on the main syllable of a word.

For example: with 'Oh, that's interesting' you could pitch up on the 'in' of 'interesting' or, you could pitch up on 'that's' and you would get a slightly different meaning.

Try it!

After me, 'Oh, that's interesting'.

And again, 'Oh, that's interesting'.

I remember in the last Star Trek film that I went to see with my son, Spock's favourite phrase was 'interesting'.


I just love his dry sense of humour and expression. Why not make 'interesting' your word of the day!

Enjoy.
