I like the "Robot speech" idea. 

Initially, I thought the first tone corresponded to a specific muscial note, like D-major or C-sharp.  So I was a little confused when that musical note seemed to change slightly in some of the word recordings.  

Understanding it through the monotone sound of Robot speech clarifies this.  It's not that the first tone must always be, say, D-major.  You can pick any musical note you like, even if you don't actually know which one you're picking.  You just have to be sure to stick with it as you speak it, not going up or down.  Like. A. Robot. Talking. All. On. The. Same. Note.

(Helpful as it is, my ear is looking forward to the variety of the three other tones!)
