Recitative
This is called blank verse.
Sung speech is called recitative, or as it is generally know, recitativo.
In theatre, phrasing refers to the way lines of dialogue are articulated and delivered, emphasizing natural speech patterns and emotional intent. It involves the use of pauses, inflection, and rhythm to enhance the meaning of the text and convey the character's intentions. Proper phrasing can significantly impact the audience's understanding and engagement with the performance. Ultimately, it helps create a more dynamic and believable portrayal of the character.
A speech by a single actor is called a Monologue.

Yes it is a inflection.
A person who imitates someone else is often referred to as an "impersonator." This term typically applies to individuals who mimic another person's mannerisms, speech, or actions, often for the purpose of entertainment or satire. In a broader sense, such individuals can also be called "copycats" or "followers," depending on the context.
The style of music that imitates speech through pitch fluctuations and rhythmic patterns is known as "melodic speech" or "speech-like melody." This approach is often found in genres such as rap, hip-hop, and certain forms of folk music, where the vocal delivery mimics the natural cadence and intonation of spoken language. Additionally, some avant-garde and experimental music also explore this technique to create a more organic and relatable sound.

A true "talking computer" would require two things: a speech synthesizer to create the voice, and an artificial intelligence (AI) to provide the lines. We still haven't managed to create a true AI, but speech synthesizers are included in most PCs nowadays. There's one in Windows called Microsoft Sam. He'll read out a sentence typed into the Voice section in Control Panel for you. However, he highlights the problem with speech synthesis: it lacks inflection and doesn't sound very human. To add the inflection, we'd need that aforementioned artificial intelligence. Or, at least, a modification for the existing text-to-speech software allowing for inflection designation tags. Anyway, that's why we have no talking computers: lack of sufficiently human speech.
Recitative. In opera and musical theater, recitative is a vocal style that imitates the rhythms and pitch fluctuations of speech. It is used to convey dialogue and advance the plot in a more naturalistic way than traditional singing.
A voice that does not change tone is called a monotone voice. It lacks variation in pitch and inflection, often resulting in a flat and unvarying sound. Monotone speech can sometimes make it difficult for listeners to engage or stay interested.
