This one is pretty easy to detect when someone’s lying. Either it’s too low or it’s too high; there’s something about their vocal tone that seems different from normal. For instance, if someone’s trying to make others buy their story, they usually lower their voice to sound more serious. Also, when a liar is nervous, their voice will get higher.
