Speech Volume

Normal conversation takes place on one plane; one general level of volume, one general level of tone, and it doesn't much deviate from that. And so, knowing that, when you're in a scene and you're talking, your standard should be that one plane. And any major deviation, any major emotion that comes into it, needs to be higher or lower than that. So, say I'm at that plane and I'm in a conversation and all of a sudden someone says something that makes me super happy. Then my voice is going to get louder, I'm going to go up, I'm going to get higher. Of course, I'm so happy! And then, say, I'm in that tone, I'm in that plane, and all of s sudden, somebody says something that really, really bugs me. And all of a sudden everything's lower than that. If I'm intense about it or sad about it, everything's softer than that. If I'm angry about it, everything's low and loud.
