A study of perceived vocal features in emotional speech
نویسندگان
چکیده
Perceived vocal features of emotional speech have rarely been investigated. In this contribution, a procedure allowing to collect reliable judgments on the perception of voice characteristics of emotional speech is presented. Relations between acoustic parameters and perceived features of speech are described. Some benefits and potential drawbacks of studying perceived vocal features in emotional speech are introduced and discussed.

The Effects of Culture and Gender on the Recognition of Emotional Speech: Evidence from Persian Speakers Living in a Collectivist Society
This paper reports on a behavioral study that explores the role of culture and gender in the recognition of emotional speech in an under investigated cultural context (a collectivist society: i.e., Iran). Participants were asked to recognize the emotional prosody of a set of validated emotional vocal portrayals (including the five basic emotions). Findings of the experiment were then comp...
متن کاملMultidimensional features of emotional speech
The purpose of this study is to investigate the features of emotional speech by means of multidimensional scaling procedure(MDS) based on visual-perceived similarity of vocal parameters. We extracted three vocal parameters (pitch, intensity and spectrogram) from speeches expressed emotions. Three researchers grouped together the cards of parameters in view of visual similarity. According to the...

متن کاملClassification of emotional speech using spectral pattern features
Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) is a new and challenging research area with a wide range of applications in man-machine interactions. The aim of a SER system is to recognize human emotion by analyzing the acoustics of speech sound. In this study, we propose Spectral Pattern features (SPs) and Harmonic Energy features (HEs) for emotion recognition. These features extracted from the spectrogram ...
