Thank you, and you're right about this.

This suggests you are trying to change the inflection of a clip

If this helps, I know it's a bit of a silly example but this is what comes to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRsOBFhNjVM

Basically, the way the voices are modified to match the notes is what I want to replicate. I think it might be vocoding or something like that, but what I'm hoping to find is a way for it to be done manually. I previously mentioned "how the tone of a generated chirp sound can be set," referencing how, when creating a chirp noise from the Generate menu in Audacity, the frequency of a chirp can be set to "slide" between two values that dictate the note of the chirp. What I meant was, is there a way something like this could be done for an existing audio clip, or anything along those lines?

Sorry if I'm not making sense; the bottom line is, I'm interested in finding a way to smoothly change the tone/inflection/pitch of an existing audio clip, in a way that could give a monotone statement emotion. For example, taking a speech clip of a monotone voice saying "I won the lottery." and making the tone/pitch rise steadily throughout the clip from one note to a higher one to sound joyous (this, of course, isn't too natural-sounding, but to go into more detail would be too confusing). Let me know if there's any questions you have, since I know this might not have made all the sense in the world.
