<br/>   abstract  = {We introduce two rule-based models to modify the prosody of speech
synthesis in order to modulate the emotion to be expressed. The prosody modulation
is based on speech synthesis markup language (SSML) and can be used with
any commercial speech synthesizer. The models as well as the optimization result
are evaluated against human emotion annotations. Results indicate that with a very
simple method both dimensions arousal (.76 UAR) and valence (.43 UAR) can be
simulated.},
