abstract = {We describe an approach to simulate first and secondary emotional expression
in synthesized speech simultaneously by targeting different parameter categories.
The approach is based on the open-source system “Emofilt” which utilizes
the diphone-synthesizer “Mbrola”. The evaluation of the approach by a perception
experiment showed that the pure emotions were all recognized above chance.
Whereas the results are promising, the ultimate aim to validly synthesize two emotions
simultaneously was not fully reached. Apparently, some emotions dominate
the perception (fear), and the salience or quality of synthesis does not seem to be
equally distributed over the two feature bundles.},
