43、smile, your voice will sound warm and friendly, just the opposite, if you have an angry look on your face, it can make you sound unpleasant.2. VolumeIf you speak too loudly, you could sound angry. And if you speak too softly, itll be difficult to hear you. So, speak loudly enough to be heard clearly
44、, but not so loud that youre shouting.3. PaceThe pace of your voice is how quickly you speak. And this can show how you feel. For example, an angry person might speak faster than normal.

45、 sound confident, and itll make it easier for the other person to understand you.4. GesturesGesturing can influence the tone of your voice.
