There Are Four Levels Of Pitch

'4-pitch' is the highest level of pitch and is used when the speaker wants to emphasize something, make a contrast, or show strong feelings.

'3-pitch' is the usual level of the primary word of a thought group, and is most commonly the highest pitch of a thought group.

'2-pitch' is the neutral pitch, and often used at the beginning of a thought

'1-pitch' is the pitch a speaker often falls to at the end of a thought.

Pitch is the rise and fall of our voice when we speak, sometimes called "highness" or "lowness." We use pitch to gives subtle meaning to sentences. The use of pitch is called intonation, but the words "pitch" and "intonation" are often used interchangeably.

The Intonation

There are different intonation patterns used for different types of sentences

Falls to low at the end of the sentence.

The voice starts at a normal pitch, rises at the intonation focus word, falls back to normal after the intonation focus word.

The intonation pattern for statement, commands, and WH questions is basically the same.

There Are Three Basics Pitches in English

LOW Low is where the voice falls, usually at the end of sentences.

HIGH High is where the voice rises to indicate information focus.

NORMAL The normal pitch is where the voice usually is.
