Practice sentence emphasis and grouping separately, then bring them into a real conversation.
Give a statement a clear ending
Practice a gentle fall at the end of a statement. Listen for whether the delivery matches what you mean, rather than forcing one pattern onto every sentence.
Pause where the idea changes
Group a long sentence into complete pieces of meaning. Keep a natural speed within each group rather than breaking after every word.
Use the result as a starting point, not a verdict.
A useful tool should make one pattern easier to hear or practice. It cannot diagnose everything about a voice, and it should never tell you to erase the identity in your accent.
Choose one cue, practice it inside a real sentence, and check whether your listener has to work less hard to follow the idea.
