Determining the Tone and
the Mood of the Speaker
or Characters in the Text
Listened to.
Facial expression, gestures, and
other body movements help to
communicate and clarify what someone
says. However, when one does not see
the speaker, the tone of the voice often
helps clarify what the speaker says and
means.
Thus, you can identify the emotions of
a speaker through vocal expression,
pitch, force or volume, rate of speech,
and phrasing.
Tone is a word used to describe
the writer’s feelings or attitude
toward his/her subject. An effective
listener identifies the tone of the
story being read. It helps him/her
better understand the story being
listened to.
Different tones may be shown by
the speaker. The speaker may be
funny, sad, surprised, sarcastic,
serious, disappointed, humorous,
sympathetic, or sentimental.
Example
This is a lovely gift, Dad
and Mom!
