Apparently I can't tell when I am or am not being monotone. Any other biz anons monotone? How have job interviews turned our for yall who are monotone?
Try some jaw/vocal cord stretching and warm up exercises

>so little self awareness he literally can’t hear his own voice and how it sounds to other human beings This is unironically too genuinely autistic for us to help you probably.
Hunter Perez
I don't think you can change inherent traits like how your voice sounds. Most people sound horrible. In my area (DC) people either sound like ghetto trash or literal faggots if guys or manjawed femicunts if girls. It's annoying as fuck. Anyways what you need to do is double down and make use your monotone in a way some will view as positive. Speak from your diaphragm and be stoic. Think Clint Eastwood or Keanu Reeves.
Those guys can’t project for shit, they rely on their cool to get people to listen carefully.
I recommend speaking with some volume, maybe like the hodge twins
Samuel Fisher
I’ve got this when it comes to superiors. Only because I have a deep voice and secretly think I should be the boss of everyone. My father taught me to be very aware of intonation. If I talked with my normal tone he would get pissed. I’ll be my own man soon and I’ll bullfrog everyone out of my office. Soon....
Julian Fisher
Watch the tone you're taking with me, boy!
Cameron Miller
The worst is uptalkers. It's the California way of talking. Keannu Reeves at one point had it bad.
Jackson Robinson
I have the monotone thing too. I also have high functioning autism once known as aspergers syndrome. It's very common with aspergers.

If OP has money in Monero we can confirm the diagnosis right now.

Keep in mind I've worked with highly skilled people in my profession and know techniques and secrets that many in my community do not. Yet when I present these alternatives I am scoffed at. When I see Chad looking old med student do the same he is taken seriously. I am fucking tired of this shit I just want to look my age so that I can be respected for what I deserve.
Cameron Cooper
oh yeah dont get me started on girls.
Lots of young girls love me until they figure out my age, then it's creepy.
Lots of girls my age just ignore me of think I'm a medical student when I tell them I'm a surgical resident.
Most aspies are average to above average intelligence, but we suck hard at social shit so it hides our true intelligence. Welcome to the club and buy chain link.
Upside is you could fuck 18 year olds and lie about your age. Seems pretty good
Matthew Wood
Op here.
I'm only monotone with certain people though. I found out since I was told my voice is different with them, people I'm familiar with and like the company of, compared to when I'm with them and a stranger or strangers or even people that I'm just not interested in befriending.
Also look young for my age. Got in a position of authority at one point when I was 23. Most of the employee's misbehaved and acted out. Yet the previous person handling this had people act seriously. Even in my current job some people have tried joking around with me rather than acting seriously, not a position of authority anymore too some extent. It's annoying especially now that I want as little contact with coworkers.
Jonathan Harris
i think i have a weird voice too. i think i sound ok when i talk but when i listen to a recording of my voice i sound like im talking through my nose or something.
Asher Cox
yeah man.
I just want to get out and start my own clinic. That way I only answer to myself and I put my money where my mouth is.
Carson Powell
if you have a monotone, make sure you emphasize facial expressions by smiling and moving your eyebrows
Ethan Hill
Should probably work on that user. A commanding and charismatic voice is important in business. Monotones are boring
Logan Hernandez
just get a beard dude if you get fit that'll put you in early-mid twenties
Jaxon Wilson
hey dock, i have a face that is too young for my age, but i have meth cheeks, what do ?
William Thompson
Oh so you have a tonefag Dad. So do I. It is insufferable, I am sorry for you.
The worst though are tonefag moms, because they basically expect you to talk in a singsong voice like a woman.
Easton Peterson
hey I want to move to dc, is it possible on a help desk salary?
Jeremiah Adams
I am monotone as fuck
I think it has to do with my life beinf an absolute disgusting bore.
Also i speak maybe 5 sentences a day, and associated with maybe 3 people a week, tops.
