As a bilingual or multilingual European; does your voice, accent, or intonation change when speaking different languages? (piefed.social)

I've been bilingual from an early age and consider English to be my second native language. There's no difference in tone or intonation and I can slip from one language to the other in the middle of a sentence without missing a beat. But, for some reason, it's a lot easier for me to be social in English than my actual native language.
