I've noticed that professional speakers and actors speak very different from how I do. There is a much more dynamic use of tone and they generally speak more slowly.
I occasionally speak at conferences and have thought about recording lessons and wanted to know how to do this. I searched pretty hard for tips and there isn't much. I ended up watching a bunch of YouTube videos and making a playlist [1] of what I thought was valuable. If you're interested, check it out.

- wu-ikkyu 9y ago>There is a much more dynamic use of tone and they generally speak more slowly. From what I've read on social engineering[1] and communications theory a slower speaker is generally perceived as more calm, confident, and deliberate whereas fast talkers are often perceived as being more anxious. Also, alteration of tones is a tactic often used to add subtle influence to the delivery of key words and concepts.
