    I can feel emotion, but it doesn't really come up much on my face or my voice, and I always sound very montone no matter how hard I try. This isn't good if I want to be an Actor, and I want to change it. Where do I begin?

    You could listen a bit to female voices... their intonation goes more up and down than male voices...
    which activities would bring you in contact with your emotions ? Creative activities, like drawing, or writing, or photography ?

    Imitate people. Actors, TV and radio presenters, famous speeches, even characters from soap operas :slight_smile: Try to imitate how they're saying what they're saying, and keep practising.

    My first love is dance, but even then I smile every so often. But at least I smile, I guess.

    Honestly I do not like the imitation approach so much... there are too many people, in my opinion, with a mask... you just feel that.
    In my opinion, if you can produce the emotions from within and radiate that outwards, you give a much more convincing appearance...

    Both ways are valid, you might try which one you like better...

    If you are really interested in the subject, have you done a little research on it ?
    There might be suggestions which do not make sense... but there might be suggestions from reputable sources which are really helpful...
