TONES

Tone deals with how someone communicates their words. You can speak with
someone and identify their tone as happy or upset. Your tone conveys your
mood, so we can say that it is a more pragmatic part of communication
because your emotions significantly affect your tone.
Changing one’s tone can change the entire meaning of a sentence. This can be
most obvious when someone is upset or annoyed. Perhaps they are being
sarcastic, and you can quickly identify their tone as mocking or otherwise. Tone
is essential in practical communication as it helps define your meaning. It is
important to remember to keep the right tone when speaking.
Tone refers to the emotion and attitude one puts behind their words. 

BODY LANGUAGE
Kinesics or study of body language must be understood by all. Whether it is an
interview or a presentation, one must be aware of how to use body language
effectively. Body language is the use of physical behaviour, expressions, and
mannerisms to communicate nonverbally, often done instinctively rather than
consciously.

INTONATION
Intonation is instead directly linked to how we speak and helps define the
intent behind what we say. The correct intonation can also help
with communication skills. Intonation is a feature of pronunciation and
common to all languages. Other features of pronunciation include stress,
rhythm, connected speech and accent. As with these other features, intonation
is about how we say something rather than what we say.
