Her performance style compared to "Queen's Speech 5" is much improved, and though "Queen's Speech 6" gained praise in its own right (that Supergirl costume was pretty ubiquitous for a time), the rapper we're looking at in this new edition of the series is freed of any gimmicks (at this point her onscreen animations are more of a trademark), making the most of more UKG-influenced tones of voice and is pretty much on track for domination in 2018.

The dialogue is handled by a single person, who uses varied tones of voice and speaking manners to simulate different characters. Chikamatsu wrote thousands of plays during his career, most of which are still used today. They wore masks instead of elaborate makeup. Masks define their gender, personality, and moods the actor is in.

Victor also did not understand tones of voice. Itard proclaimed "Victor was the mental and psychological equivalent of someone born deaf-and-dumb. There would be little point in trying to teach him to speak by the normal means of repeating sounds if he didn't really hear them." Shattuck critiques Itard's process of education, wondering why he never attempted to teach Victor to use sign language.

High-speed synthesized speech is used by the visually impaired to quickly navigate computers using a screen reader. Formant synthesizers are usually smaller programs than concatenative systems because they do not have a database of speech samples. They can therefore be used in embedded systems, where memory and microprocessor power are especially limited. Because formant-based systems have complete control of all aspects of the output speech, a wide variety of prosodies and intonations can be output, conveying not just questions and statements, but a variety of emotions and tones of voice.

Mia McKenzie's work has been referenced on news sites such as Salon, HuffPost Black Voices, New Republic, and The Brown Daily Herald. In her interview with Elixher, McKenzie talks about why she started Black Girl Dangerous: > As Black women, we are always so cognizant of people’s perceptions of us, > and always having to modify ourselves–our tones of voice, the language we > use–to make other people feel less threatened by us. We are expected to > accommodate anti-Black racism by not doing or saying anything that will > scare white folks. In this way, we are asked to make racism easier for > people.

Poetic diction treats the manner in which language is used, and refers not only to the sound but also to the underlying meaning and its interaction with sound and form. Many languages and poetic forms have very specific poetic dictions, to the point where distinct grammars and dialects are used specifically for poetry. Registers in poetry can range from strict employment of ordinary speech patterns, as favoured in much late-20th-century prosody, through to highly ornate uses of language, as in medieval and Renaissance poetry. Poetic diction can include rhetorical devices such as simile and metaphor, as well as tones of voice, such as irony.

In British Education, Sheridan writes that preaching from the pulpit "must either effectually support religion against all opposition, or be the principal means of its destruction." Convinced that English preaching was not done as well as it should be, Sheridan focused on delivery as the principal avenue toward delivering effective messages to an audience: "Before you can persuade a man into any opinion, he must first be convinced that you believe it yourself. This he can never be, unless the tones of voice in which you speak come from the heart, accompanied by corresponding looks, and gestures, which naturally result from a man who speaks in earnest." Sheridan believed that elocution was not restricted to the voice, but embodied the entire person with facial expressions, gestures, posture, and movement.

Notably, this release is the second Boris album to feature vocals on every track (the first, excluding any one-track albums, was Amplifier Worship). Also, it delves more into experimental tendencies with a more manipulated sound, use of drum machines, and even experiments with sampled tracks (notably, "Dead Destination" is essentially "No Ones Grieve part 2" from The Thing Which Solomon Overlooked 2 with added vocals; part of the seventh song from Vein is used in the untitled final track). The album can also be seen as humorous since Boris have referenced this album in an interview with Terrorizer Magazine as "un-cool" and "The sell-out album" with comical lyricism (A prime example being the song "Buzz-In" which is about the Melvins live video Salad of a Thousand Delights), an 80s look for the band themselves, and the tones of voice in some of the songs. The album charted on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart at number 20.

Tarantula is the product of 5 years of hard work. Mónica says the title of the album is because the body of work was born out of the poison she felt for the recording industry, and that the album is a logical follow up to her 1999 album Minage (given that her record company after Minage wanted albums more along the lines of previous work Palabra De Mujer and pressured her to come up with 2001's very commercially oriented Chicas Malas). Tarantula has a similar lyrical complexity to Minage but goes further in experimenting with sounds of electronica, heavy guitar riffs, and the use of classical accents throughout the album as well as new vocal experiments (colours/tones of voice as Mónica called it once in reality show Operación Triunfo) and the use of foreign languages in certain songs. Mónica said Tarantula is based on freedom of expression, being able to portray what she sees every day in life.

The female counterpart of the paninaro is called sfitinzia or squinzia which, according to the dictionaries, can be defined as a girl with a smirk, not very intelligent, flirtatious, often in fashion but according to the original meaning of 1986, written by Lina Sotis, the squinzia is "The most widespread female category of the moment. They all have an imprinting, the television show of the second evening shows, clothes, tones of voice, lengths, courtships and stiletto heels: in the squinzia everything, except the brain, is exaggerated. The squinzia is the one that would like to catch more and pecks less, it is the eternal turkey and never taken." The phenomenon quickly spread throughout Italy thanks to the publicity transmitted by the nascent commercial televisions that exploit the phenomenon amplifying the message and spreading the style; to make it further famous also contributed a character played by the actor Enzo Braschi that he provided to the nation a stereotyped version of the paninaro in a successful TV show, Drive In, which helped spread the fashion by codifying in turn some stylistic features to which many young people from all over Italy tried to conform.
