Experiment. Inspired by MurrayArnott1995, implemented prosody rules for emotion expression in Festival. Conducted perception tests: a) following Murray and Arnott, a forced-choice perception test using emotionally neutral and emotional text; b) a preference task in a talking head setting. In the latter, a visually expressive talking head was combined once with standard synthetic speech and once with manually tuned expressive synthetic speech. The version with expressive speech was very clearly preferred.
