3. What is Voice Modulation?
The change in tone and pitch of your voice is voice modulation
• Tone is how we say what we say. For example “he said in a nervous tone”
• Pitch is the frequency of our voice. The higher the pitch the higher your voice sounds and
vice versa.
• Pre-pubescent children have higher pitched voices than adults due to their undeveloped
larynx (voice box)
