How badly does a monotone voice affect your game?

Why not just talk to yourself as you go about your daily business, practising pausing, tonality and whatever else. Tone is something you need to learn.

You don't need voice therapy man, just make active decisions throughout the day to add more inflection and tonality to your voice. Listen to how guys like George Clooney and Brad Pitt deliver their lines in movies and copy it. After a month or so it'll become second-nature. We are the sum of our habits -- It's all just a matter establishing the ones you want.

Those times when you are not monotone, what were you talking about? How did you feel, and what were you thinking? Now take those same feelings and ideas and transfer them to other subjects. Talk about your passions and you'll be as dynamic as it gets.

It really doesn't matter. Look at Ben Stein. That guy is fucking awesome. If you have interesting shit to say and are an upbeat person, I don't think your delivery really matters. But if it bother's you, by all means work on it.

By the way, I'll plug Ben's book (only one of his I've read). It really helped motivate me, both with women and in other areas of life.

Tonality is learned. Look up some monologues, print them out, and practise reciting them in front of your mirror and over a recorder. Play them back and get comfortable with your voice and it's many displays.

I have a monotone voice as well, and I think it impacts game negatively for the most part. Also be aware if you have a blank facial expression because I have a problem with that too, the two can go hand in hand. Sing along to songs you like, practice your voice on your own if you can. My living space is pretty small so I can't really do it in private, hopefully you can.

About as badly as trying to do a radio broadcast with a monotone voice.

Why is Christopher Walken so famous? Why is Hunter S. Thompson so infamous? Hint: It's not their charming good looks. Guys like this epitomize the attitude that we're trying to convey here -- be the best and most interesting version of yourself.

This applies to every message you convey to the outside world:

Sight: Dress well, carry yourself well, and smile. Your best bet for clothing is "loose formal" (example)

Sound: Women love deep and sonorous voices. Pacing yourself when speaking builds tension and attraction. Spewing out the most interesting shit possible can still get boring if it's being done at Ken Jennings speed... no, sometimes you just need to pause for effect. Comedians do this. Presidents do this.

Touch: I once shook hands with an electrician, his hands felt like badly worn leather. No girl wants to get exfoliated while a man is touching them. Your hands should be soft and strong, fingernails trimmed and clean, you should be clean shaven (or 5 o'clock shadow). Your hair should fit your personality, but should always be clean.

Smell: Natural pheromones are an important part of attraction. So showering immediately before meeting up with a woman is actually not the best idea. I find the best timing is about 3 hours prior to meeting (if you're clubbing it doesn't matter, pheromones everywhere!). Even better is to workout 3 hours before, take a shower, use deodorant and some light cologne -- it's summer, so use a summery cologne.

Taste: This is important and rarely discussed. From kissing to blowjobs, tasting good is critical. Good oral hygiene is critical. Brushing and flossing, get all of those loose food bits out. Avoid heavy spices, curry and cumin, strong gastro veggies such as garlic, asparagus, etc. Drinking plain green tea (unsweetened) is good at resetting your breath smells. Your precum (and cum) takes up a lot of the chemicals from what you've eaten recently. So If you know you're getting a blowie sometime soon, try eating any really sweet fruits and sweet spices (e.g., pineapple, strawberries, nutmeg) at least an hour before happy time. Avoid coffee, smoking, red meats, drugs, etc. Also keeping your balls clean and well ventilated helps with the funk smell (and helps you produce more jizz too!). Stay hydrated, plenty of water / pineapple juice should do the trick.

Hope this helps.

Actually, if you put more emphasis on practicing your sense of humor and/or sarcasm, monotone can come off as pretty funny. Its unexpected from someone who is monotone. Plenty of comedians like that. Girls eat that up. (i'm a girl. ;-))
