Tone of speech is the way you sound- angry, pleased, etc.

I think this is what you are looking for.

  Tone
  The writer's or speaker's attitude toward the subject, the audience, or herself or himself; the emotional coloring,or emotional meaning, of a work.

I think the general tone of a speech has as much to do with the emotions it is likely to elicit in the hearers as the emotions of the speaker. The tone of a speech can be passionate, inflammatory, conciliatory, or any number of things.
