BE vs AE concerning intonation

Hi,

Can you tell me if there is a difference between British English and American English on the issue of intonation?

Thanks very much

Hi, As I can see: When British people speak, their voice can go either very high or very low. When American people speak, their voice is quite flat. The voice goes up and down too, but not so much.
