How do you reduce uptalk? Record yourself and listen to your tone of voice. Does your voice rise at the end of sentences even when they are not questions? Ask yourself if it’s due to a regional accent, and ask yourself how it will sound to an English-speaking audience.

Practice ending your sentences like you are coming down a set of steps, says voice coach Helen Moses. Record yourself and listen to the difference.

When you practice your speech or presentation, make a conscious effort to reduce uptalk in your introduction, your main points, and your conclusion—the most critical parts of your speech—so you don’t introduce uncertainty. It’s absolutely fine to introduce doubt into your speech when discussing numerous sides to a complex issue. Indeed, it shows your ability to look holistically at an issue. However, when you make a statement on something about which you feel strongly, don’t make it sound like a question.
