How the fuck do I make myself appear interested in what someone's saying?

I have a pretty monotone voice, and I'm not the most emotional person in general, and as a result people often think they're boring me, or I'm distant, a jerk, etc.

step one: be actually interested in what someone's saying

you could always fake it. Smile, nod, ask questions relating to the person and their experience(s). You don't have to have an excited voice, and if you're really interested, you won't have to fake a thing. Your interest will show.

Trust me, I do. Unless I'm extremely interested in something.

I just smile with wide open eyes. While they're speaking I move my lips in order to pretend I have an important response to what they are saying.
