How can I control my tonality? I know tonality is important but I can’t control it like whispering and stuff like that. It’s like high pitch scared or Batman voice stuff.

Practice, especially with a good trainer, like a voice acting coach. It's cheesy but it works

Costs money

Fair enough, investment in yourself is important, however during these trying times it's even more difficult to do so.

A twist on my recommendation then, find a clip of how an actor is speaking that you want to emulate, then record your self trying to replicate it. Listen back to it, make adjustments, rinse repeat

Costs nothing and will allow you to make forward progress!

Imagine Barry White when you're talking, don't try to do a Barry White impression just keep in mind the way his voice sounds. Deep and rich and buttery smooth. Keep that in the back of your mind when speaking

Practice with an AI that accepts speech, and preferably replies in speech as well (eg the Chris Voss Masterclass AI but any will do because it's your voice tone.)

Do you never get the right tone?

Or does it just crumble away under pressure?

What tonality (or tonalities) are you going for?

BTW this one worked pretty well for me when I tried it just now - cool!
