I need to figure out how to sound like I am interested when I am on the phone. Someone told me in the past that if I smile when I am talking on the phone that it might help a little with the tone of my voice.
Rule 1: An interrobang never got anyone a job.

I have the same problem talking on the phone. I pitch my voice a bit higher and try to visualize punctuation to make me sound chirpy. So instead of “oh, hi,” I say “Oh, hi!”
