abstract = {Emotions are an integral part of a speaker’s charismatic impact. Previous
studies took started from this impact examined the associated emotional features
on the part of the speaker and the recipient. We start here from the emotions
themselves and test with a view to, e.g., everyday business communication and
based on isolated, enacted stimulus sentences, which emotions make speakers sound
more or less charismatic and how this interacts with speaker gender and speech
compression. The results of a perception experiment with 21 listeners show that
high-arousal emotions make speakers sound more charismatic than low-arousal
emotions. Moreover, some compression codes, including the popular MP3 codec,
perform surprisingly poorly at differentiating emotions in terms of perceived speaker
charisma, particularly in combination with female speakers’ voices.},
