Some applications exist to help you recognizing tones based on the pinyin, but you want a comparison between the model and your voice? Thought Rosetta did this..

I can't seem to find this app.

What I want is a graphical representation of the tone of my voice (over time).

I've been told that my voice is monotone when I speak Western languages so I don't really have a good feel for what I need to do to speak in a high or low tone. If I had a graphical representation of what I was in fact doing then I think I could gain control over the tone of my voice more easily.

I guess the obvious alternative is to record and play back my own voice.

Look at a demo of Rosetta Stone. Haven't touched it recently, but it should be able to do most of what you want.
