Communicating Ownership and Initiative to Americans

To sound more decisive while speaking to US or Western counterparts, the tone of our voice at the end of the statement matters. If the tone rises, it sounds like a question, while if it drops, it sounds definitive, like a statement. 

To demonstrate this, in the below tutorial, I use a clip from a favorite cartoon Phineas and Ferb to show how tone changes impact the confidence in which others will understand our messages.

Thank you for spending your time here.
