Playing With Tone

i want to know what happens next on the rol play…

27/31 📑

.
I tried it, you can listen to my recording, playing it here.

what about when you repeat another person’s question as if asking “are you really asking me that?”. I feel there’s a double rise in tone there, is it possible? For instance: Do you like chocolate?
Do I like chocolate?! Of course I do!
