modulated
Varied in intensity
Modulated means adjusted or regulated, often to achieve a particular effect.
A modulated voice varies in pitch and tone rather than staying flat.
In electronics and broadcasting, a modulated signal has been altered to carry information: The radio wave is modulated to encode audio.
More broadly, to modulate is to temper or soften: She modulated her criticism to avoid giving offense.
