Do you speak in a monotone voice?

[Autistic Yoda]

Speaking in a monotone voice is a telltale sign of autism, but I'm curious how standard this trait truly is.

Yes, when i visited a neurologist, he wrote that i 'had monotonous voice', you don't need a neurologist for that just that he noted.

No, my voice is "normal". There are atypical features to my speech sometimes, such as speed.

I was a school teacher for 30 years. In that time I learned how to not do that.

If I stop paying attention (i.e: I get interested in what the person saying), I'm likely to forget to do it.

But there is also my "excited" voice, where I start babeling excitedly about whatever I'm currently interested in. That is definitely not monotone.

I'm also toldI speak too quietly.

I don't speak in monotone but I do often speak too quietly where most people ask me to repeat what I say because they couldn't hear the first time. I've always had that trouble, especially when nervous.

Not monotone, but very often deaf to the tone I am using to the point where my work colleagues know when to ask if me if I'm aware of my tone. And in elementary school I was unusually loud when speaking. To the point where my Grade 1 teacher referred to it as me using my "Guy Smiley" voice. He was a fictional game show host announcer from Sesame Street. Then due to a childhood vehicle accident and having to learn how to speak again the volume issue basically went away but I'm still just tone deaf to myself at times.
