Delivery in Conversation
Six Sentence Story Nonfiction
By Marlene Mesot

My father, who was tone deaf, had a soft-spoken voice and a dry wit. I could never tell when he was making a joke unless he laughed a little. His tone of voice never changed much when he talked.
Delivery is everything when telling a joke. The tone of the same words spoken can drastically change the meaning with the effect of the delivery. Tone, pitch, inflection and emotion are qualities that I think artificial intelligence will never mimic accurately along with dialect.
