It's very hard to learn feminine prosody.  Males tend to speak with a relatively monotone type of voice, while females speak in voices that glide up and down within a tonal range.  I'm still far from where I want to be, especially with the masculine resonance picked up by a microphone.  Although I have a reasonable speaking voice now, I can't project it with a loud volume.
