raukea refers to a condition or state of being rather than the person's voice. Innoton puhetapa would be closer, but it is entirely up to you...

Note from asker:
| Kiitos, Desmond! |
| In the given context the word speech means "puhe" or "puhetapa". "Listless" could be translated as "apaattinen/eloton/raukea". I just wanted to know which choice accurately suggests "combined lack of sustained interest and appearance of languor". My choice would be "raukea puhetapa". |
| Kiitos, Desmond! |

väritön
I think 'väritön' might do too.

These could be other options as translations for 'listless'.

I don't think there is any established equivalent for this expression. I'd probably go for "tarmoton puhetapa". ("Puheen tuotto" could also be considered.)

ponneton, vaisu
Too more choices. At least Finnish language seems to be rich when it comes to low-grading.

Actually, I intended to write: "Two more...", but my mistaken "Too more..." seems to suit as well
