| Abstract(in English) | Speakers usually adjust their way of talking in noisy environments involuntarily for effective communication, this adaptation is known as the Lombard effect. Although speech accompanying the Lombard effect can improve the intelligibility of speaker's voice, the changes in acoustic features such as fundamental frequency (F0), speech intensity, and spectral tilt caused by the Lombard effect may also affect the listener's judgment on emotional content. To the best of our knowledge, there are almost no published studies on the influence of the Lombard effect in emotional speech. Therefore, we recorded parallel emotional speech waveforms uttered by 12 speakers under both quiet and adverse conditions in a professional recording studio in order to explore how the Lombard effect interacts with emotional speech. By analyzing confusion matrices and acoustic features, we aim to answer the following questions: (1) Can speakers express their emotions correctly even under adverse conditions? (2) Can listeners recognize the emotion contained in speech signals even under noise? (3) Will the speaker make some changes when he/she recognizes that the emotion is not transmitted to the listener correctly? (4) How does emotional speech uttered in noise differ from emotional speech uttered in quiet conditions in terms of acoustic characteristic? |
