The first two can be used in formal situation or in situations where you don't know the person well.
The third can be used with a friend or in some kind of non-formal situation.
I would often use speak your mind as a polite way of asking the person to speak.
最初の二つはフォーマルな場面やよく知らない人に対して、三つ目はインフォーマルな場面や友人に対して使うことができます。
丁寧に「話して」とお願いする時に、私もよく "speak up your mind" と言います。
When someone is silent but you want them to say something, you can say:
Don't be silent, say something!
Don't be silent - This means don't keep quiet, don't be speechless.
Say something - This is an informal way of asking someone to speak their mind.
Don't be shy, speak up!
Don't be shy means don't be embarrassed to speak or timid.
Speak up means 'make your voice heard' or say something
You can also say:
Speak your mind.
This means share your opinion or say what you think.
I hope that helps!
相手が沈黙しているけど、自分はなにか言ってもらいたいとき、こう言うことができます。
Don't be silent, say something!
Don't be silent - 黙っていないで。沈黙をやめて。という意味です。
Say something - これはなにを考えているか言ってと頼むカジュアルな言い方です。
Don't be shy, speak up!
Don't be shy は話すことを恥ずかしがらないで、怯えないで、と言う意味です。
Speak up は、聞こえるように話して、またはなにか言ってという意味です。
またこう言うこともできます。
Speak your mind.
これは意見を教えて、とか、何を考えているか言って、という意味です。
参考になればうれしいです!
You know what I’m saying?
Idiom
– another way to ask if the person understands you. If they are silent, maybe they didn’t hear or are confused.

Following is another word for understand.
Are you following? Are you keeping up?
– Is what you’re saying being heard and understood by the person you are talking to.
Do you have anything to say?
This question may be considered a bit angry.
If you are talking and the other person is silent, this is a way to get them speaking.

I know silence is golden, but please express your opinion about this issue.
Please don't be shy, say something concerning this serious matter.
In the first sentence, I have started with the saying, 'silence is golden', which means 'it is often better to say nothing'.
The problem with saying nothing is that no one will ever know your thoughts. If you bottle up, that is it, your thoughts will remain bottled up , no matter how meaningful those thoughts are.
So, please express your opinion regarding this issue.
Some people are inherently shy and will not come out of their shells unless they are cajoled to do so.
You may say to such a person: Please don't be shy, I know you have something very important to contribute.
Please say something concerning this serious matter
最初の文は、'silence is golden', :沈黙は金成という言葉から始めました。
時として何も言わないほうがいいことがある、という意味ですね。
nothingといって問題になるのは相手にあなたの気持ちが伝わらないことです。
言葉を飲み込めば、あなたのどんなに意義のある言葉も出てはきません。
ですからもっと自分のオピニオンを表現すると良いでしょうね。
人は生まれつきシャイな人もいますし、そういう人は生まれた殻に閉じこもっている人もいます。
そんな人に対して言えることは、例えば以下。
例:Please don't be shy, I know you have something very important to contribute.
Please say something concerning this serious matter
そんなシャイにならないでください。是非あなたの貴重なご意見をききたいです。
この重大事件について何か教えて欲しいです。
The idiom is used to compel someone to speak, say something, or give a response when they are (unusually) quiet. It is often said by adults to children. When someone is speechless or without words (sometimes out of surprise) you will say “Cat got your tongue?” to prompt them to react.
"You're so quiet today! Did the cat get your tongue?"
このイディオムは、誰かに何かを言わせたり、静かなときに返事をさせるのに使われます。しばしば、大人が子供に言うフレーズです。誰かが話さないときに、 “Cat got your tongue?” 「どうして黙り込んでいるの」相手に反応させるために使います。
"You're so quiet today! Did the cat get your tongue?"
今日すごく静かね。どうしてそんなに黙り込んでいるの。
"Don't be shy speak up, it would be nice if you talked"
"Are you following everything I am saying"
If you are talking and someone is staying silent and you would like them to say something, you could say any of the following to them: "Please could you speak up", "Don't be shy speak up, it would be nice if you talked" or "Are you following everything I am saying".
自分が話をしていて相手が何も言わないとき、相手に何か言ってもらいたかったら次のように言えます。
"Please could you speak up"(何か言ってもらえませんか)
"Don't be shy speak up, it would be nice if you talked"(恥ずかしがらずに言ってください。話した方が楽しいですよ)
"Are you following everything I am saying".(私の言っていること分かります?)
You first want to make sure that the other person understands what you are saying. I would ask the question, "Do you understand what I am saying?"If they do not understand, try explaining it in a different way.
If they do understand you could say "Don't be afraid to say something." You could also say "I would like to know your opinion." These responses will make the other person more inclined to share their thoughts with you. My advice always is to speak kindly towards others and then they might respond.
まず相手がこちらの話を理解しているかどうか確認する必要があります。
例えば、
"Do you understand what I am saying?"(私の言っていること分かる?)
もし理解していなかったら、別の言い方で説明してみましょう。
もし理解していたら、
"Don't be afraid to say something."(遠慮なく何でも言っていいよ)
あるいは
"I would like to know your opinion."(あなたの意見が知りたい)
のように言えます。こんな風に言うと、相手は意見を言いやすいと思います。
私のモットーは「人には優しく話し掛ける」です。そうすれば、答えてくれるかもしれませんよ。
Say something.
Talk to me, don't just stay silent.
What is on your mind? Tell me.
I think that one of these sentences should get your friend speaking again.
I hope this helps.
Have a great day.
Will
Say something.(何か言ってよ)
Talk to me, don't just stay silent.(黙ってないで、何か言ってよ)
What is on your mind? Tell me.(何があったの?私に話して)
どれか一つ選んで使ってみてください。何か話してくれるのではないかと思います。
参考になれば幸いです。
良い一日を。

I would like you to voice your opinion as well please!
I'd appreciate your opinion!
1. I would like you to voice your opinion as well please!
To voice an opinion means to express how you feel about
the topic or matter that is under currently under discussion.
2. I'd appreciate your opinion!
To appreciate something means to be grateful or thankful.
This sentence therefore means that you would be very
grateful if the person could speak up and share their thoughts
on the matter that is being discussed.
1. I would like you to voice your opinion as well please!(あなたにも意見を言ってほしい)
"To voice an opinion" は「意見を言う」という意味です。
2. I'd appreciate your opinion!(あなたにも意見を言ってほしい)
"To appreciate something" は「感謝する/ありがたいと思う」という意味です。
ですから、この文は「あなたの意見を聞かせてもらえたらありがたい」という意味です。
There are two common ways to express that you want someone to stop being quiet and say something:
-Respectful way: "Don't be shy."
In this expression, you are acknowledging that the person may be uncomfortable or it may be their personality that is the reason for them not speaking. It is a more subtle way to let the person know that you would like them to participate in a discussion.
-Direct way: "Say something."
This is a literal command to the person. There is no subtlety to this. It can be used in all situation, but discretion should be used because it may be considered disrespectful if said in the wrong way to certain people (ie your boss or parent)
