Tone of Voice Worksheet
Communication tip (How you say it matters): A polite tone: “Excuse me, may I borrow your eraser?”, “Sorry, could you say that again?”, “Please pass the salt, Didi.” A rude tone: “Give me your eraser.”, “What? Speak properly!”, “Salt. Pass it.” A soft voice: in the library, near a sleeping baby, in a hospital ward. A normal voice: at the lunch table, at a shop counter, asking Ma’am a doubt. A loud, clear voice: warning of danger, cheering at a match, calling across a field, leading the PT drill.
