VOLUME DROP

The voice becomes quieter, sometimes nearly inaudible at the ends of sentences.

MEANS

Uncertainty, shame, or a wish not to be heard fully.

CONTEXT

A volume drop on a confession means the speaker is reluctant to make it. A drop on a claim means they doubt it themselves. Useful in interviews — the quietest statements often carry the most signal.

NOT

A natural sentence cadence.
